Devils advocate post no 1 - Freedom Fighters or Terrorists



  • OK so imaging a scenario where England has been taken over by an invader.
  • That invader then proceeds to force its religion on the population.
  • Any attempt at dissent or rebellion is stopped in a bloody and violent way.
  • English land owners are forced out and land taken over by the invaders.
  • Half of the population is either killed or exiled, some are sold into human trafficking.
  • To make their displacement easier on the eye the English are dehumanised and described as lacking in intelligence and morals.
  • The invader rounds up people who are not of the same religion and places them on ships bound for countries in Africa and the Middle East..
  • The new English landowners administer their land from their own country and all food is exported for profit causing severe food shortages to the English.
  • The food shortages result in death and disease.
  • Attempt at dissent or rebellion still stopped in a bloody, violent way and includes executions.
  • Eventually a rebel party for the English "The Free English party" wins three-quarters of all seats in all of England and declares sovereignty over all of England.
  • The invader refuses to accept the "Free English party's" sovereignty and so a Guerilla war ensues.


The Devils advocate question is

A) Are the "Free English party" depicted in this scenario "Freedom fighters"

or

B) Are the "Free English party" depicted in this scenario "Terrorists"
