Nonviolent Protest and Resistance Privileged

I've seen some posts on the IRA as of late. Bad terrorists obviously, according to the OP. The Resistance in France during German occupation, I think hardly anyone would call them terrorists. Yet what's the real difference. Both are or were fighting for independence against what they considered an occupying force.

By the way, we had the same kind of narrative with the Mujahedins in Afghanistan against the Soviets. Not one of our media called them terrorists. They all were galant fighters. Yet once the Soviets were gone and they were still the same, fighting against what they considered a threat - us - they instantly turned into terrorists.

That's the wall Pablo's running up against, except he doesn't seem percipient enough to realize it.
