Answer to Question #262133 in History for Kelsey Jand

Question

Analyze this quote: “A freedom fighter learns the hard way that it is the oppressor who defines the nature of the struggle, and the oppressed is often left no recourse but to use methods that mirror those of the oppressor. At a certain point, one can only fight fire with fire.”

Answer 1

The quote alludes to the inclination of a freedom fighter in thwarting oppressors comes from the nature of oppression and the gravity of their inhumane nature. The oppressor ultimately utilizes tactics that mimic the intensity and inhumane nature of the oppressors.
