Addendum

You know how we've all learned we "don't want to make a martyr" out of someone?

Like, the actual history behind this is lost, other than some general awareness of Christianity and early Christian history, but it's widely understood that getting rid of someone in such a way that people find them sympathetic and admirable can actually backfire as more people are drawn to their cause.

That's what I mean about discrediting certain tactics. I want 'we don't want to be terrorists' said with that same understanding. Something so deeply accepted into our collective wisdom people don't even know the particular details any more.

Same for propaganda completely untethered from reality. Not 'spin', or differing opinions on the how and why..  But the way people think they really are entitled to create their own facts.
