Don't forget Pol Pot. These politicians are all the same.

I'm reminded of murderers Oscar Pistorious and Jeffrey Dahmer.

Likewise the terrorism of the French Resistance and Osama Bin Laden.

What a unique and valuable perspective to have. I'm sure you'd agree that such enlightenment is a curse, which is why the more feeble minded of us hide our eyes from these blinding truths.



While I agree on the larger point, this thing struck me.

> Likewise the terrorism of the French Resistance and Osama Bin Laden.

I mean, Robespierre probably killed more people and not exactly for better reasons. Reign of terror was exactly what the name implies.


I believe you are thinking of the French revolution, not resistance. The latter term is generally used to refer to resistance against the Vichy administration.


You are right, I have misread that word.
