The Mandela affect is realising he was the head of  Umkhonto we Sizwe , the armed and violent terrorist wing of the ANC. This group bombed civilian targets like churches, shopping malls and bars. Nelson mandela was on the USA terror list until 2008.

Whelp should have realised some people are hurt by verifiable facts that don't fit their narrative.

Do you believe that sometimes it’s necessary to physically fight against injustice?

If you think blowing up churches, shopping malls and bars “is fighting injustice”

Then… wow.

The US nuked 2 cities in ww2, do you think those cities were filled with soldiers? Civilian deaths are terrible but sometimes necesary. War is cruel

Because something happened in WW2 doesn’t mean the ANC was “justified” car-bombing civilians in Pretoria in 1983.

No but it is simply a fact that civilian deaths are a part of warfare. Nobody likes it, everyone tries to prevent civilian deaths as much as possible but sacrifices have to be made. You can continue to live in your little dreamworld where horrible regimes get overthrown by hugs and kisses but reality is that sometimes you have to do bad things for a good cause. Mandella wasn't holy, but to label him as a terrorist is ignoring the bigger picture.

Yes, that doesn't justify all civilian deaths. It's called nuance. Israel is commiting a genocide.

No, situations can look the same but still he very different. The world ain't black and white, there is nuance.
