but imagine if your country had been invaded
I think I know, because there are numerous examples throughout History & I have a connection to 2 of them.
In America for instance, of which I am a citizen, the people that lived in the Colonies in the 1770's felt they were subjugated by the British Empire and formed their own "terrorist" groups, such as the Minute men, the Green Mountain boys and finally the American "Revolutionary" Army, and waged war against what they felt were their oppressors.
In Ireland, of which I am also a citizen of, so to speak (I have dual-citizenship) we fought the "Occupiers", the British Empire again (peskey fuckers, weren't they) for over 500 years until the Irish revolutionaries/terrorists (semantics?) the IRA, kicked the Brits back over the Irish Sea in 1920.
And now for another example with global implications evident especially now in the Middle East, I'll give you Palestine, which, lo & fucking behold, the British, again, (Yea, the Brits did/do suck/fuck things up, don't/didn't they?) invaded/took over in 1920
That oppresive, Imperialistic invasion created more terrorists, but this time we had 2 opposing groups form as a result, one being Jewish (Stern Gang/Irgun) & the other eventually became known as the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) & eventually morphed into Hamas.
So, I sorta can imagine what it would be like to be oppressed/subjugated & I feel a kinship with all the afore mentioned groups, that fought for their freedom (except the Jews whom I consider to be occupiers/land theives/terrorists), like the Minute men & the IRA & the PLO.
