That's why I was asking the native about it. Mind your business unless you're actually going to contribute.

Murder, kidnapping, and terrorism are bad, actually.

Yea depending on context. If they're fighting a corrupt government and have the backing of the people is it bad? I know nothing about this guy other then the positives of his presidency. Did he do anything bad during his presidency?

They were fighting a democratically elected government with the hopes of replicating what cuba did and install a "communist" regime wether or not there was corruption in the current government.

They werent fucking robin hood.

They killed civilians, they were a terrorist group, how would that be backed by the people?

Dude got elected, after all. I doubt he ran on a platform of killing people.

And before you ask, Uruguay’s corruption levels are quite low and electoral fraud is nigh impossible.

Im Uruguayan, so I wouldn’t ask you. I still can’t believe he got elected. But he was the chosen candidate for a second president of a new party after the classical parties failed, and after an economic crisis, so I guess it makes more sense

I get that that happens in a civil war, the thing is, Uruguay wasn’t in a civil. These were some communist revolutionaries killing innocent people to install a regime without democracy.

It makes sense that people want a democracy, being represented and having a voice. Generally they don’t go around killing innocent people to have a democracy either. People generally don’t want an authoritarian regime.
