Unless I've got some of that social privilege to cash in (which I do)..after all..we did "bomb them", eh?
I get where you're coming from btw Abaris, I don't like that extending this freedom can sometimes lead to ugly results, but I also don;t like the ugly results when that same freedom is rescinded or not present. A person arguing that we should rise up against our evil oppressors and fight back is, technically, inciting violence through hate speech. In a world in which the Klansman can be prosecuted for his words, so can the man who finds himself on the wrong end of an oppressive regimes shitlist.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
