You could just as easily, perhaps more easily, say that the folks who set up apartheid were “violent terrorists.” Are the Mexicans who are right now fighting back against the cartels right now “violent terrorists” or are they just defending themselves. That seems like a reasonable parallel. I guarantee you that there hasn’t been a US president in our entire history who wasn’t responsible for more violence and terrorism than this guy, but he’s black, and was fighting against the status quo, and the winners write the histories, and idiots take them at face value, and authoritarian cowards instinctively take the side of the status quo, no matter how vile, and so it goes, round and round.
