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.
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.

That’s not how things work and you know it
Then if you know explain it to me.

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