Guido Fawkes terrorist or hero???
The point is offered that a criminal calling another criminal a terrorist is not the same thing as an accurate accounting of someone effectively preventing a crime such as terrorism. The claim is often made by criminals that their crime spree is perpetrated for the good of mankind. That certainly could work if all the criminals were torturing and murdering all the criminals until there was only one criminal left, and none of the criminals ever targeted an innocent victim for any reason whatsoever. The fact is that the criminals fight to get control over the innocent people who just so happen to be the source of all wealth as innocent people go about their lives in peace, harmony, and with a perfectly healthy ability to produce ever higher quality of life at ever lower costs through competitive free market, honest accounting, trading.
In other words when someone claims that it is necessary to become the worst criminal to end crime, to turn into a torturing mass murderer, robbing people to pay for their aggressive wars, to end crime, then those criminals are telling a very old lie that ought to be accurately accounted for and understood as a lie.
If the character in reality, or the character who wrote the fiction story, retell the same old lie, it is still a lie.
Terrorists terrorize, that is why they are terrorists.
The lie works because criminals are terrorized by anyone who is capable of exposing their criminal minds, their criminal lies, and their crimes to anyone who is capable of effective defense. Therefore anyone able to tell the truth about the criminals can be painted up as a terrorist because the terror is felt by all the criminals who share the stolen loot. The facts demonstrated as facts accurately accounting for the criminals as criminals is a source of terror for criminals for two reasons:
1. The criminals may then have to work for a living, which to them may be terrifying.
2. The criminals may face a very strict application of the rule of law depending upon what constitutes a strict punishment in any case, and uncertainty concerning said punishment may terrorize said criminals.
A hero of fellow criminals is not the same thing as a hero who effectively defends innocent people from harm by criminals and in doing so the hero does not willfully, and with malice aforethought, target innocent people for fun and profit.
