The EZLN are terrorists, get ready for debate

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

That is a sad incident, but every armed faction does things like that.

Ain't that just the most adorable apologist you've ever seen? The answer is no, of course. People calling the deliberate slaughter of defenseless citizens 'a sad incident' because they're just so enamoured with their Christian fascist movement are not adorable at all. Other, more pernicious words would be much more suitable to describe such persons, but we wouldn't want the fascists on NationStates to feel persecuted, now would we?

Anyone who holds ideas based on the Falangista movement ought to be ashamed of themselves.

[New Jordslag]

Fascist? Wut?

They are fiscal left-wing and proud of their etnicity to range thar they even have indian supramist tendencies. Considering they are religious in that they are practicising Mayan believes.
Using inspiration from the glorious Roman Mayàn Empire.

In one word they are fascist.

That's like saying all Left Wing Christian American Patriots are Fascists.

[Harpers Ferry]

But you know, the group that massacred men women and children in a refugee camp are a-ok.

That is a sad incident, but every armed faction does things like that.

Oh come on you're not even trying.

They don't really do shame in the Middle East, I'm afraid.

Not regarding this, it seems.

No.

They may not agree to indentify with fascism but the parallel berween two are to many. Espwcially the racism that the two have in common.

Raci—They're not racist, they want indigenous autonomy! Huge difference.

If anything, they are Pro-Native, which I can approve of. That's the opposite of Racism.

...A resistance against Mexico's poor treatment of southern indigenous people is racism?

There are no parallels between the two that are in any way significant. Stop talking shit.

Maybe Buse believes that any form of protest against exploitation and being treated as second class citizens is equal to fascism and racism. Maybe Buse does not really know what reality is.

The second one isn't a maybe.

Except Liechtenstein, because that's just logic.

They are, unfortunately, to extreme in nativism. They want to make an etnical clean Chiapas where tge "dirty Castillians wont master" them anymore. There are even report of racial motivated attacks on non-Mayan Mexicans.

SHame the people who supports those racist.

Everybody, I can't bring myself to reply to this. Shoot this down for me.

[New Terricon]

Are the EZLN more or less acceptable than the Mexican government in your opinion, OP?

Well Mexican Government is corrupt, but EZLN are a credible threat.

A credible threat to the corrupt government you say?

As I see it, they are no different than any other freedom fighter organization. If you're going to call this group terroristic, then the Sons of Liberty and French Revolutionaries are just as bad.

What reports where? What of the reported of mexican police raping over a hundred people in a brutal crackdown on protests?

What you're saying is approximately equal to those who've lambasted Malcolm X.

And the American Resistance.

Oh, and we might as well call the Italian Freedom Fighters who fought Mussolini Terrorists too. Makes as much sense as everything else.

Can you blame them for that mentality? I don't condone violence but taking history into account, Amerindians were victims of abuse by non-Amerindians for centuries. Is it really that strange that they're retaliating? That they're fighting to preserve their heritage, their identity?

Mind you, there are other ways, but this turn of events isn't surprising to me.
