"They hate us for our freedom"

Anything other than open propaganda seems to be offensive to the government. I've got no clue what they're saying on TikTok about him, but kids understanding that there's some nuance and understandable motivation behind a guy like bin Laden seems like... not something to be terribly alarmed about? Of course, goes without saying, bad dude. However, there's a big difference between cartoon character who "hates freedom" and "guy who is pissed off about (among other things) the effect of US foreign policy on his country." One breeds "turn 'em to glass" sentiments, another breeds "what IS our foreign policy?"
