Wrong use of term "rebel"

Jump to navigation Jump to search

I thought the joke was "terrorists and freedom fighters".

To me, the term "rebels" doesn't seem to have negative connotations. The term is regularly used for the good guys (eg, the "Rebel Alliance" in Star Wars).

The Rebel alliances was a band of alien loving terrorist!
