    I guess its because freedom fighter has some sort of positive connotation to many. They may be fighting for freedom, but they’re also just terrorists

      Fighting for the freedom to subjugate people to their will instead of someone else’s.

        Yeah, not really a group of “freedom fighters” you’d expect people in the West to rally behind… yet here we are. Holding terrorists’ flags in NYC lol

          TIL: A bunch of flags at a rally is just as good as military support from western allies!

              8.26 million people and you’re surprised, why? Do you not understand mathematics? Do you always just make baseless assumptions based on racism?

                Well no, the irony is that it’s the location of the largest terrorist attack… ever? Was that lost on you?
