"Insurgent" is definitely a relative term.
Like many things, it depends on whose ox is being gored.

My problem is more fundamental.

I am simply not willing to justify the wholesale and deliberate
targeting of civilians as some sort of political protest, which is what the term "insurgency" implies.
