Et cetera. A history in ellipses, too obscure to know. Not to mention the words in quotes and not. “Insurgents” are in quotes. Insurrection is not. Rebel is a problematic term. History is not fully annotated or adequately contemplated in online archives. The puzzling duplication becomes mere trope, a cliché. Photographic captions rebuke losers and winners alike. “Soldiers,” for instance, refer only to white males. “Burned” does not suggest who has done the burning. “Firefighting measures” is a generous term, given the circumstances.
