If you're are against me you're a terrorist, if you're for me than you're a freedom fighter, simple as that. Has always been like this.
How come the come the PKK is a "terrorist group" when basicaly all they want is just to be recognized?

Yea but its not like the PKK is staking out claim to a country just a small amount of land from 3 different countries that they could easily give up?

There are people living on that land. People who might resent the ethnostate PKK wants to establish.

when basically all they want
It is never about what they want. We must judge according to what they do.

Wait, so if you overbake chicken until it’s dry and I take a dump in the toilet’s reservoir it doesn’t make me the good guy. Well fuck… maybe that’s why we view teenagers are not having fully developed ideas sometimes

Because they demand recognition via acts of terrorism.
Like we can have a discussion about how closely linked Rojava are to them but the PKK itself is undeniably a terrorist organization that engages in terror tactics to pursue its aims of recognition as an independent state.
Just because we might agree with the IRA in principle doesn’t change the fact that they did a fucking lot of car bombings, and the same principle applies here.
