I want to use the Naive Bayes algorithm available on Text blob package in python. Does it classify "I love terrorism and I hate peace" and "I love peace and hate terrorism" the same way?

1Have you tried to check yourself? This seems amenable to straightforward empirical verification... – juanpa.arrivillaga May 01 '17 at 18:26

It depends solely on data representation. If you use bag-of-words (1-gram) representation, then yes, both documents will be the same. But if you use any n-grams with n>1, they will be different (and separable for NB). Basically nearly any "fancier" approach than simple bag-of-words will make NB distinguish between these two.
