Just before 8CET there were two explosions at the main airport in Brussels. First reports say about 17 dead, 35 wounded.

So with the uptick in crime, especially violent and sexual crimes.... And then the bombings, shootings, etc..... And all of it being tied to refugees, etc...... Why does Trump get such backlash for calling it out?

Is it because he doesn't sugar coat his words?

Not trolling.... Serious question, and I'm not for or against Trump

I think Trump gets shit for being a hypocrite, a liar, an asshole, projecting unrealistic views, and the list goes on. You seemingly have simplified the issues with Trump by a slight margin. He is a dangerous individual.

Seems like when they caught the mastermind for the Paris attacks, this was the backlash. Great logic, capture the guy who planned the murder of 100 innocent people, radicals kill another 35 more. Damn it appears Europe is going to change for the worse

I'm not defending Trump but in this new normal the world is in, it's pretty naive to think somebody like Bernie Sanders or Hillary will survive the ruthlessness of people he will be dealing with. America has a real shitty list of candidates but what country doesn't? The world has changed so much in 5 years, the likes of Putin, ISIS and the Chinese President are ones who are thriving. Meanwhile Obama, Merkel, Trudeau, are too busy apologizing for these cunts. Trump won't do shit, but he'll at least be respected by those people.

Yes they managed to organize a huge terrorist act hitting 2 heavily crowded areas within 3 days :D

This was planned for months surely. Such attacks will probably continue to happen constantly. Let's see what stupidity the EU does next, hopefully they ll get their heads out of their asses

Also an act of terror's main goal is not to kill people. The killing is just its weaponary towards massive fear and stress spread throughout the society they are hitting. Thats their end goal. People living in fear 24/7 knowing they are not safe in public

P.S. Trump is an idiot, even discussing him already gives 10x more attention than he deserves( don't know what his position on ISIS and terrorism is, but I don't even care considering his views on everything else )

But that never happens. Nobody gives a fuck within a week's time. You think the people in Paris are still living in fear over the last killing spree? Thats why I think terrorists are just genuine petty assholes. Not once has anything they have ever done accomplished shit. In fact, the only thing they ever successfully accomplish is motivating 1st world nations to bomb the fuck out of them.

Hey Naz,

I agree with you about the bigotry etc. I'm not supporting the Donald here. I'm just saying when he says 'don't take them in, we won't take the refugees because it's dangerous' he's called terrible things (outside of all other topics etc).

I don't understand why everyone is willing to allow themselves to be destroyed in the name of political correctness.

This is absurd
The majority of the refugees are innocent people that will suffer even more because of those acts of terror. Thats the biggest problem when it comes to resolving the crisis, cause the majority are innocent, but if you let them in, you are letting savages in with them as well. There is no " correct " path here, there are absolutely legit arguments towards both extremes ( banning all or letting them in ).

I don't think it's as impossible as you believe. Not that I know whether this was a specific revenge attack, but I imagine what these fuckers do is just make suicide vests and pipe bombs and shit and have them lying around, and then the news came that they caught the asshole from Paris, so these few assholes just put their vests on and went to a random but significant target to blow up. The lower death toll, apparent lack of weapons fire, low number of people involved, suggests this was less organized and more improvised to me.

As for Trump's position on terrorism, I've watched some Trump interviews and it turns out he, like most people, is against it.

The majority of the refugees are not refugees and also male of military age. Why would you even let military age men enter they should fight for whatever side they are on. Women and children only.

Donald Trump isn't a racist or a bigot or whatever. He is simply saying whatever he feels will get him elected. Democrats here are the bigots, they pander to people's skin color, wages, gender, and religion because they want their vote, they dont actually give a shit about them. Trump is pandering to people's fears.

That being said, the only thing Trump has said that is really bad is he went waaaay overboard about muslims, which makes it obvious he is unfit for presidency. He does say that stuff just to get attention though.

Trump is much more interesting than it seems people are giving him credit for. His campaign is allowing all the bullshit going on in the u.s. media and all the bullshit that far left groups are about come to the surface. The pc has to stop, its just that trump is not qualified. I hope the long term effect of his presidential run will be positive and help people wake up to the over pc shit.

If you guys want an example of what I am talking about, I will give one. Obama has not said radical islamic terrorism, not even once. He also constantly preaches for u.s. citizens to not be hateful towards american muslims. Statistics show that post 9/11 2001 muslims have not in any way had hate crimes rise against them. Meanwhile hate crime against Jews is steadily much higher.

If moderate Muslims were the overwhelming silent majority, it should be easy to arm them and let deal with this. Truth is, within the Muslim World, not very many pure moderates. Pure common sense.

Not interested in academic moral equivalency and political correctness. Only religion in the world with a problem of this magnitude.

If Obama is a good man (I don't think he is, but its irrelevant), its clear as day his vision of the ideal world is a mirage - shit isn't getting better with US isolationist policy.

Trump may be an asshole, but maybe that's exactly what we need right now. Muslim 'extremists' - who make up a large, large growing minority of the Muslim world - just look at Pew Research - are not interested in peace.

If America let's the cancer in, the world is fucked. If we aren't there to clean up the mess, no one is.

Hillary is Hilary, and I hope the majority of a Poker Website understands how absurdly stupid Bernie Sanders is.

I like Ted Cruz too but he doesn't appeal to intolerant secular Elitists, which is a problem in American politics.

I'm out.

I think Trump's populism is far more dangerous than being overly pc. I'm not giving any moral high ground to the democrats but I think what Trump does could spiral out of control. I don't care who gets elected as long as the whole thing doesn't end in a massive shitstorm (or bloodbath) of Christians vs Muslims or Muslims vs the world or whatever. So I'd rather have a politician who sucks up to people/minorities with bs pc, than have dudes who seem willing to do anything on their ride to power.

Yup. Yet if you listened to the MSM or President Obummer you'd think it was an epidemic. It's all political pandering.

As 2001 shows, hate crimes against Muslims will go up when we let Terror spread, which is just natural human nature - to be angry when nutjobs are killing innocent people people tend to get aggravated and make bad decisions.

Sure this is a terrible thing to have happened. One of many in Europe in recent times. Bad.

However, media magnifies everything 1000-fold. During the Genghis Khan era, not too many centuries ago, every 8th person in the world was killed because of that mongoloid. That's decimation.

I feel safe. popcorn.gif for Trump. Not many believe it can happen, until it may. Ridiculous baboon.

If Trump loses at the convention then he probably goes third party and the republicans lose 30% of their base for years to come. I think that party leaders will actually unite behind him rather then risk the damage of trump telling his supporters to not vote for the republican party.

There might be a good number of republicans in congress who will see appeasement as the lesser evil

Cool, got any more rehashed opinionated labels?

Btw loved the Trudeau name drop in that earlier post.

Also i dint read opinion pieces in general, my news feed is mostly straight factual news and i skip over whatever opinion is included in the article of interest. You should do the same. And i most definitely dont waste time watching view hungry retards spew there "opinions" on youtube, whatever side of the spectrum.

I dont think that subject needs to be discussed in a forum of this intellect come on, leave that to ignorant rednecks, probably not even dogmeat would support him.

Its a shame that this will only make him stronger because again, the regressive left offers nothing but excuses and ignores an obvious problem.

It partially is fear mongering when its generalizing the word "radical Muslim".

There are less than 1M Jihadist in the world, these are people who want to wage war against the west and impose Islam in the entire planet (ISI, AlQuaeda etc).

There are indeed about 600M ISLAMISTS, which support Sharia law in Islamic countries and have barbaric beliefs like death penalty for apostacy, homosexuality etc, these people are fucked up but they dont pursue armed conflict against the west.

So no, there wont be a 3rd world war, there isnt simply military oposition to NATO besides Russia and China that do antagonize NATO from time to time but they are not going to declare war under any circumstance, so that would leave you with what, Pakistan?

you are
now live happily

a potential 3rd world war wouldn't be a clash between NATO/Russia/China ( even though USA s being quite annoying when it comes to the sea territory south of China, even though media tries to propaganda China as the " antagonist " .... and Putin showed that he s probably the smartest geopolitician in the world considering his actions past years, basically exploiting every situation to its maximum and withdrawing when its time. so no way he gets into a big military conflict) would much more likely be a shit storm in the Mid-east with NATO's involvements and proxy terrorist acts in Central/West Europe - which is already happening so ...
I really feel like the civillized world is safe from the threat of complete demolishment such as the one during WW2, however the threat for arabs is very much real.

P.S. a bit off topic, if anyone is aware of this and just a theoretical question, what happens if one NATO country declares war to another? Is it true that there is nothing written on the subject in their agreements ?

Certainly not an apology... it's more like bragging as a recruitment tool / as a demonstration of 'power'. They've already declared war but we don't recognize them as a state so therefore it can't be a traditional country vs country war. This is why the war on terror is stupid - it's not specific enough to ever win because you can't ever declare victory over the generality of 'evil'. Evil, terror, it will always manifest. As for ISIS, they now have control of territory in Syria and Iraq that is very sizable.

What we need to do is unify NATO in declaring a war on Jihadism, encompassing ISIS, Alkeida, Boko Haram, etc. and set some specific goals. What those would be exactly I don't know, but the simple fact needs to be that if you aid Islamic Terrorists - as Pakistan knowingly aided Osama Bin Laden, etc. - you are now at war with NATO. It doesn't mean we should go in and kill innocent people on purpose, but there will inevitably be collateral damage, that's just the truth. It will need to be a combination of harsh sanctions, closed borders, and yes - military action. The US will need to lead because that's just the way it is, Western European governments have no will or backbone and are on the verge of economic bankruptcy - besides Germany. Inevitably, the far left will demonize us as warmongers but it's long past time that we try to appease those who have no interest in being appeased, rather are only interested in dividing for political gain. The kneejerk reaction to blame Islamophobia is a clear example of this - it is not rooted in any sort of fact at all and does nothing good - it just pisses people off. As the graph above shows, Islamophobia isn't a growing problem.

This is an inevitability. The only question is how long we practice this stupid strategy of trying to achieve peace with people who DON'T WANT IT by showing them how loving we are. The cancer will continue to spread, and millions of peace loving Christians and moderate Muslims will continue to be murked. It's an absurd strategy that is built on a faulty premise. Going into Iraq was a bad idea, but pulling out and leaving a vacuum once the damage was done was even worse. We can't leave vacuums, we need to wipe out the enemy, and not democracy build - but absolutely stick around in a residual capacity until moderate governments are stable and in place. This may take a few decades. Big fucking deal. We still have troops in Japan - it's not the end of the world - it's peaceful and they are happy and free.

lol this dude is a nut. you should look into him.

one of many examples:

Baalim's response was a quality counter-argument which I can respect. Ultimately I think you are just minimizing the issue though. 1 million people that are full-blown Jihadists is nothing to sneeze at IMO.

Passiveace's was the typical non-sense attacking the messenger with no coherent argument. Did you even read the article? You don't have a problem with a taxpayers funding a course called "How to be Gay" at the University of Michigan? SMH.... I agree with one thing you said, people should read the article... I don't personally want to pay taxes so impressionable kids can go take a course who's goal is to:

"This course will examine the general topic of the role that initiation plays in the formation of gay male identity ... In particular, we will examine a number of cultural artifacts and activities that seem to play a prominent role in learning how to be gay: (including) camp, diva-worship, drag, muscle culture, taste, style and political activism."

This DOESN'T bother you? Good God....Explain WHY he's a nut with facts or substantive commentary. I challenge you. Is anything he says in the article factually incorrect? Sounds like you read the last paragraph and that's it, because you make no substantive points whatsoever.

I'm sure this somehow makes me homophobic.

Whamm - Good video.

I love Milo. Guess I'm a bigot. I wear it like a badge of honor. Means nothing these days except that you hold everyone to the same standard regardless of race/sex/creed etc. Ironically that's what liberalism used to be about. Now there's a hierarchy of privilege which is inherently bigoted and fosters a feeling of victimization which ultimately harms minority groups the most. Milo has balls, probably gonna get murked by some Bill Ayers fueled moveon.org bleeding heart intolerant regressive pretty soon.

Certainly not an apology... it's more like bragging as a recruitment tool / as a demonstration of 'power'. They've already declared war but we don't recognize them as a state so therefore it can't be a traditional country vs country war. This is why the war on terror is stupid - it's not specific enough to ever win because you can't ever declare victory over the generality of 'evil'. Evil, terror, it will always manifest. As for ISIS, they now have control of territory in Syria and Iraq that is very sizable.

What we need to do is unify NATO in declaring a war on Jihadism, encompassing ISIS, Alkeida, Boko Haram, etc. and set some specific goals. What those would be exactly I don't know, but the simple fact needs to be that if you aid Islamic Terrorists - as Pakistan knowingly aided Osama Bin Laden, etc. - you are now at war with NATO. It doesn't mean we should go in and kill innocent people on purpose, but there will inevitably be collateral damage, that's just the truth. It will need to be a combination of harsh sanctions, closed borders, and yes - military action. The US will need to lead because that's just the way it is, Western European governments have no will or backbone and are on the verge of economic bankruptcy - besides Germany. Inevitably, the far left will demonize us as warmongers but it's long past time that we try to appease those who have no interest in being appeased, rather are only interested in dividing for political gain. The kneejerk reaction to blame Islamophobia is a clear example of this - it is not rooted in any sort of fact at all and does nothing good - it just pisses people off. As the graph above shows, Islamophobia isn't a growing problem.

This is an inevitability. The only question is how long we practice this stupid strategy of trying to achieve peace with people who DON'T WANT IT by showing them how loving we are. The cancer will continue to spread, and millions of peace loving Christians and moderate Muslims will continue to be murked. It's an absurd strategy that is built on a faulty premise. Going into Iraq was a bad idea, but pulling out and leaving a vacuum once the damage was done was even worse. We can't leave vacuums, we need to wipe out the enemy, and not democracy build - but absolutely stick around in a residual capacity until moderate governments are stable and in place. This may take a few decades. Big fucking deal. We still have troops in Japan - it's not the end of the world - it's peaceful and they are happy and free.



Yes because armed conflict has showed that it helps combat terrorist cells and their numbers do not incrase at all... right?....

Obviously declaring open war on any country that the CIA deems that has helped in some form a terrorist cell is a terrible idea that instead of reducing terrorism will make it worse exponentially, even Milo mentions that the west should not occupy many of their countries because that fuels the hatred that moves terrorism.

It is not a country you are fighting but an ideology and culture and you only fan the flames when you attack it, just get your hands out of the fucking fire and lt it burn by itself

Um. Actually yes. I happen to take ISIS at their word that they want us dead unless we convert. That doesn't mean stop bombing. It means convert or die. I don't buy the Leftwing rhetoric that us defending ourselves helps recruitment. I think it's BS. You don't fan the flame when you attack it. You kill it. They don't use reality to recruit. They use their success to recruit disenfranchised youth, not moral equivalencies. How do you explain the recent exponential spreading of ISIS? Are you still blaming Bush? Because we are doing relatively nothing to them right now. Is the 'containment' strategy working? If so, we have a vastly different definition of 'working'.

There will be more attacks in the coming weeks.

How do you explain the situation in Syria, cause thats their exponential growth you're talking about.
How was it that there were no such threats while Khadaffi and Hussein were in power ? Why were arabs even in Africa destabilized ? They were doing atrocious stuff yes, so are Saudi Arabia and Israel, morals have no power in such games. Why were those 2 leaders demolished? Why was Syria demolished ?

Questions that should be asked are not how and why ISIS is what it is today, since that is more than obvious when you observe the short past of the arabic world and the politics revolving around it and the money flow going directly into ISIS.
It blows my mind people still think ISIS's main goal is to spread islam and blah blah. Are you that stupid, honestly? Have you not learned anything from our history as a species ? Its always the same - spread propaganda about a moral system while the system itself runs and its goals are something entirely else. Do you think baboons are running that organization ?

Already explained it dummy. Stupid war. Even stupider hasty retreat that left a power vacuum. Both were wrong. Maybe try and read the argument the other side has made, since I already answered this question. You seem to think that all wars are evil and unbridled passivism is the answer. You also answered my question with a question, typical libtard with no concrete answers.

LOL? And yes, I understand the argument you are making about how ISIS isn't at its core Muslim but just evil which manifests as a power-seeking entity which is simply using the Quaran and Islam as a front. Cool argument bro, you sound like the ultimate retard. Point is it's WITHIN MUSLIM CULTURE. That's where the problem LIES. You can't wrap your head around the fact that people like me understand your super 'nuanced' argument but you don't understand ours. Point is, you are so obsessed with political correctness, not alienating specific groups, etc, that you are willing to give giant sectors of the population a pass every single time there is a problem so long as they are ultimately considered a minority group. That in itself is bigoted, dangerous, and stupid. If the problem lies in the Jewish community, call it out. If it lies in the white community, call it out. Right now, the bane of civilized society lies within a certain semi-large sector of the Muslim community and the Progressives that bend over backwards to enable it. Get over it.

Not a Trump supporter. Keep painting with the broad brush you hate so much.

Go vote for Bernie Sanders or something. You obviously buy the non-sense that all rich people stole their money from poor people and all we need is love and redistribution.

Now if you are willing to put the name-calling and character attacks aside, so am I.

Please answer my question with an answer:

How do you explain the spread of ISIS given that our foreign policy over the past 8 years has been one of military retreat and isolationism? Is it a delayed result of Bush's policy? If so, if I concede that (for the sake of debate) - than at what point and how many attacks would you advocate military action? Should we wait until they drop a bomb? Somewhere in between? Please outline a substantive answer, as I am perfectly willing to do for any question you have for me so long as it is not rhetorical in nature.

It's only been 75 years.... lets keep blaming Colonialism.

That's pretty much akin to blaming Jim Crow for the crackhead on the corner who happens to be black. It's loosely related, but it's also a stupid place to place primary blame. Is there no room for choice and personal responsibility here? If so, Jim Crow was just a function of slavery which is just a function of black men in Africa selling other black men to white men. And on and on we go. Your logic isn't logical.

Pretty soon this stuff won't be big news. Western terrorism does seem to be accelerating though. Was like, 9/11, then 7/7, then Madrid all spaced apart a few years. Now I more or less expect a terrorist attack to happen in Europe or NA bi-monthly to quarterly. Maybe I'm a cynic.

Why do you hate Sam Harris so much?

FWIW, I don't particularly like him either. IMO Sam Harris is like the poor man's Christopher Hitchens. But atleast in his misplaced premise that religion is the source of all problems he identifies radical Islam as the worst right now. It's a start. Sam Harris just can't wrap his mind around the fact that Stalin, a Leftist atheist, was the single most murderous figure in modern history. Ended up being worse than Hitler, who secretly despised religion himself and used it for political gain. Probably what ISIS leaders are doing now. Only problem is all their retarded followers are willing to die for the trash. Anyway, kinda shits all over the great secular theory that if we just stopped believing it God, everything would be dandy.

But ironically our fearless President Barack Hussein Obama wants to do the wave with Raul Castro while ISIS grows. You want to talk about a real piece of shit, Barack is the epitome of some guy who uses big words but is just a lost little man. Leftists are the worst because you have to put up with their sanctimonious bullshit. Atleast with ISIS you know where they stand.

I also believe then when ISIS say convert or die, however bombing countries across the globe is not a defense, its a preemptive attack, and if you dont "buy" the left rhetoric how about reading statistics, Al-Qaeda has more members than ever, so does ISIS, terrorism is stronger than it was 15 years ago despise an extremely agressive foreign policy of occupation and invasion of two countries and constant drone bombing on the entire region. If after 15 years of attacks and terrorism growing isnt evidence enough that it is not working you are being an idiot.

Apparently you believe Obama had a peaceful foreign policy, well let me correct you, Obama actually increased the drone strikes in the region, thousands of soldiers are in the area, there has been constant intervention in Lybia and Siria etc.

So no, the US currently doesnt have a defense or peaceful foreign policy in the middle east, you would have to withdraw all troops from the region and stop drone strikes

I disagree with Harris on a few things specially about foreign policy but to say he is worse than somebody who beheads "kaffirs" is absolutely idiotic, so even if you use that comparison as hyperbole you shouldn't, it makes you lose credibility

You are so clueless aren't you ?
Thats the natural development of things in such countries after a country like yours invades it and destroys people's lives. The thing is you were wrecking that region for so long that retreat was not an option at the time being. Of course you haven't had an adequate president since ages so no wonder decision that were made terrible.
Who s talking about political correctness wow. You keep bringing it up. I don't really care about it. I just get tilted when people defend with passion the perspectives given to them by the media. What I'm trying to say is the one to blame here mostly is the USA and then NATO countries etc. etc. Since we were the terrorists for those countries such as ISIS is for us now. Whats the right thing to do? There isn't one, most likely a lot of people will have to die for the crisis to be resolved. But giving heated arguments that they must be stomped because this and that media bullshit reason is ridiculous and inaccurate. You have 30ish dead in Belgium and don't know how many in France, while thats something that happens probably close to a daily or weekly basis there.

What I'm trying to say is. Nobody gives a fuck about the normal people - not here in Europe, not in the USA, neither in Arab countries. It's all politics. It's all about money and power - you can be convinced in that. If the USA/Europe wanted to stop ISIS they would first tell Erdogan to stop fucking buying their petrol for example wouldn't they? Or the USA could just send 10 out of their probably close to 200 000 armed drones in the region and bomb the shit out the refineries or whatever structure is used for its collection. It's not like they have a shield against missiles and the main finances come from the oil so there? Another thing is Saudi Arabia and Turkey could stop selling them weapons, but that wont happen too will it? Don't believe me ? Simple logistics, there is no other way for them to get weapons.
You see the same countries that are allegedly against iSIS are the ones allowing it to run and the ones financing it. So no this isn't about a bunch of " EVIL " ( rofl did you really use that word ) people trying to reign terror. It's about geopolitics and money and fear being spread into simpletons

this shit is rampant all over muslim society; afghans, saudis, shit even india it don't matter. And the immigrants are spreading that shit into civilized areas like the UK were many horrible scandals have recently been covered up.

I know this shit is not talked about but that just further goes to show how much these nation rebuilding efforts are bullshit and these last 15 years of "war" were just some straight weak half-measures (maybe the only thing spitfire is right about is the geopolitical aspect of the whole thing wherein the people at the top perpetuate this shit for money and power)

All this different but equal talk is trash and i've generally held pretty tolerant, liberal views. Do what you do as long as you aren't hurting others. But when half your society is considered subhuman (women) and the other quarter+ are fucking prebuscent boys and openly bragging about it... that is some backwards savage shit that has got to go.

And then you add on top that they wanna kill non believers and basically turn the planet into some giant caliphate. With the most powerful motivation possible behind it (religious fanaticism) that is quite dangerous. Analagous to living next door to a repeat sex offender; fuck it inviting them into your home to crash on the couch after getting out of prison with your children in the room next door.

First obvious move is to do like the japanese and close borders entirely and not to view looking down on Islam as racist/xenophobic/strange/inferior/illogical. It is clearly all of those things. You cannot even import the Arabic Koran into japan. Kind of a problem here in the states as so many already live here and i'm not saying we can deport citizens even if they do believe in dangerous trash but we can at least stem the tide and hope the ones that remain continue to integrate into society and give up some of the more barbaric core beliefs.


and how can the limited military actions of the last few years really be considered war? War is some winner take all shit. Would the Roman's in Obama's position have taken the same actions? Alexander the Great? Even many of the warring parties in WW1 and WW2 would have taken all. Honestly they would probably drop the Hydrogen Bombs in one of the few situations we could actually do so without guaranteeing mutual annihilation (Islamic countries don't have it except pakistan which doesn't have the rockets to get them here - I'm sure the US wouldn't wanna risk Israel but we could preempt that action and still get it done- not that i advocate that I don't). At the very least after occupying Iraq and Afghanistan they would have taken over as the ruling parties; taken the resources (oil - poppy fields - pomegranates) and land for themselves. Probably enslave the people, ban the Koran and the religion entirely. If facing a continuing threat from a zealous population they would do what they had to quell it and the death count would be quite high. Not advocating any of this; just don't like calling it a war when we went in and headhunted a few dudes for reasons actually quite counter to our self defense, then left without putting ourselves in any better of a situation than we were before (again except haliburton and co who continue to reap the rewards of instability in the region despite the human toll). So it wasn't a war in the terms of what the Islamic people would do if the roles and power situations were reversed. IF reversed I have no doubt they would instantly turn those desserts into glass without losing a head; then suck the oil out of the shattered earth. From a purely objective basis on what is best for humanity in the long run the deaths of even 100s of millions of Muslims would be preferable to the entire planet descending into an Islamic hellhole over the next few centuries (a scenario in which many more "non believers" would die than even exist Muslims today).

Obviously it doesn't need to go anywhere near there though. Let them do them in their currently controlled territories and try to convert their society slowly through humane non-violent efforts slowly if possible. In the end if they force it though someone has clearly gotta go.

I know this shit is not talked about but that just further goes to show how much these nation rebuilding efforts are bullshit and these last 15 years of "war" were just some straight weak half-measures (maybe the only thing spitfire is right about is the geopolitical aspect of the whole thing wherein the people at the top perpetuate this shit for money and power)

All this different but equal talk is trash and i've generally held pretty tolerant, liberal views. Do what you do as long as you aren't hurting others. But when half your society is considered subhuman (women) and the other quarter+ are fucking prebuscent boys and openly bragging about it... that is some backwards savage shit that has got to go.

And then you add on top that they wanna kill non believers and basically turn the planet into some giant caliphate. With the most powerful motivation possible behind it (religious fanaticism) that is quite dangerous. Analagous to living next door to a repeat sex offender; fuck it inviting them into your home to crash on the couch after getting out of prison with your children in the room next door.

First obvious move is to do like the japanese and close borders entirely and not to view looking down on Islam as racist/xenophobic/strange/inferior/illogical. It is clearly all of those things. You cannot even import the Arabic Koran into japan. Kind of a problem here in the states as so many already live here and i'm not saying we can deport citizens even if they do believe in dangerous trash but we can at least stem the tide and hope the ones that remain continue to integrate into society and give up some of the more barbaric core beliefs.


and how can the limited military actions of the last few years really be considered war? War is some winner take all shit. Would the Roman's in Obama's position have taken the same actions? Alexander the Great? Even many of the warring parties in WW1 and WW2 would have taken all. Honestly they would probably drop the Hydrogen Bombs in one of the few situations we could actually do so without guaranteeing mutual annihilation (Islamic countries don't have it except pakistan which doesn't have the rockets to get them here - I'm sure the US wouldn't wanna risk Israel but we could preempt that action and still get it done- not that i advocate that I don't). At the very least after occupying Iraq and Afghanistan they would have taken over as the ruling parties; taken the resources (oil - poppy fields - pomegranates) and land for themselves. Probably enslave the people, ban the Koran and the religion entirely. If facing a continuing threat from a zealous population they would do what they had to quell it and the death count would be quite high. Not advocating any of this; just don't like calling it a war when we went in and headhunted a few dudes for reasons actually quite counter to our self defense, then left without putting ourselves in any better of a situation than we were before (again except haliburton and co who continue to reap the rewards of instability in the region despite the human toll). So it wasn't a war in the terms of what the Islamic people would do if the roles and power situations were reversed. IF reversed I have no doubt they would instantly turn those desserts into glass without losing a head; then suck the oil out of the shattered earth. From a purely objective basis on what is best for humanity in the long run the deaths of even 100s of millions of Muslims would be preferable to the entire planet descending into an Islamic hellhole over the next few centuries (a scenario in which many more "non believers" would die than even exist Muslims today).

Obviously it doesn't need to go anywhere near there though. Let them do them in their currently controlled territories and try to convert their society slowly through humane non-violent efforts slowly if possible. In the end if they force it though someone has clearly gotta go.


That last article you put is insane. People were afraid of reporting hundreds of children being raped for years - even their own parents - because otherwise they would be labeled as racist? Not even going into the muslim debate, how can you allow a person (and especially a children) to suffer so much in front of you and not do anything about it? What is this madness how can you stay silent in front of any innocent person being physically and mentally tortured in front of you without doing anything about it. If this PC thinking makes people become human trash then they deserve less respect than the rapists themselves.

Even the police were afraid to take action against the "rape rings" or what they were called in U.K. Because they would be labelled "racist" if they did. Its totally crazy and outrageous

Oversimplifications like this are just stupid. Don't blame religion, blame people. Stalin? Murdered more than anyone. Atheist. Didn't love his neighbor.

These days the Church does far, far more good than bad (even Catholicism which I admit I kinda have a personal bias against because that particular church is uber corrupt and I think the concept of a Pope is just sooooo dumb - sorry Catholics) regardless of how bad some of the shit in the bible sounds at face value. Because the Church modernized.

Islam just needs to modernize big time, which means people need to stop being policed into being politically correct and not acknowledging that it has a massive problem with radical fundamentalism.

Anyone or any country who believes in a Caliphate, Theocratic rule, Jihad, etc needs to be shunned. Not complicated. On a tangent, would be a lot easier for the US to stop buying oil from these shitbags if we dug up what was under our own feet instead of worrying about nonsense Climate Change (another stupid politically motivated phenomenon and yes I know that carbon emissions are up... perfectly faithful that science will take care of this in due time and if not too bad because China ain't stopping).

IF that's not possible, I don't claim to know, would probably need to ask an objective moderate Muslim scholar, than Islam will end up going bye bye after a lot of people die. I have faith for Muslim moderates that they can take over and modernize their religion.

BTW good rant Cam. I do think Muslims in the US have assimilated well because they've come over so slowly and learned how much better our societies are. Definetely shouldn't be taking in refugees right now though. Due to our shitbag leadership, radicalization is too high right now and we can't properly vet the refugees.

Of course religion is partially responsible lol they are killing themselves screaming "god is great" and you still refuse to hold these stupid beliefs responsible?

Also you are daft if you think Catolicism vatican corruption and pedophiles is currently more harmful to the world than Islam, it is so obviously not true I dont think I really need to even go much into it.

They won't stop bombing even if you:

a) leave them alone in the middle east
b) apologize or speak in their behalf
c) Pretend to understand their struggle and be one with them

Incase you haven't noticed I'm the guy who thinks Islamism/Radical Islam is, currently, a huge problem that needs to be pointed out and shit all over. Christianity and Judaism have some pretty dark histories (Judaism not so much in modern history) but today they are causing much more good than evil because they have modernized, don't try and violently convert people, and do a shitload of Charity.

I'm also not willing to go so far as to say religion is the core problem, and used Stalin as an example. The Nazis also hated religion, Hitler was only a Catholic for political purposes to rise up the ranks.

I think you mistake me for someone else here, I am NOT defending Islam. I hate people who cry bigot over facts and truth.

I think it is all related. I'm not sure how you can say, Mormons for instance, who are almost literally are all about charitable missions, peace, etc. are doing more harm than good. Why? Because a small portion of them believe in Polygamy? Give me a break.

I do worry about all religions getting lumped in unfairly with Islam's current issues so I do think its pertinent, but I am glad we can agree on the core subject.

In my own personal experience, as a guy who was raised Jewish (not hardcore at all) but who is an Agnostic, I've found that most Religious Christians are nice people who believe in family, charity, good morals, don't push their religion down my throat, while I've found that Atheists are young people who think they have it all figured out but are really quite Militant about their beliefs and are pretty miserable people because once you've ruled out any purpose to living at all and are "sure" God/some higher power (same shit) doesn't exist, it's kinda tough to be happy. I feel bad for them. They end up, again in my experience, worshiping something anyway - whether its environmentalism, veganism, democratic socialism, or some other such nonsense.

I disagree with Harris on a few things specially about foreign policy but to say he is worse than somebody who beheads "kaffirs" is absolutely idiotic, so even if you use that comparison as hyperbole you shouldn't, it makes you lose credibility



Because beheading people and going "all-in" at-least requires balls. Which he doesn't have. He likes it when people like Ben Carson would hint that they would do similar things. He likes to preemptively nuke the muslims. But he just says shit. He is like those terrorists only "train" and brainwash suicide bombers but never do anything themselves.

They've been pretty excited announcing that there are ISIS cells in the PH now, warnings of shit going down etc. Didn't even give any demands, just gonna fuck us up when we drop the ball. Maybe for being a Catholic country? Take a guess

No he never advocated to preemtive nuke muslims for fucks sake, this opinion is incredibly retarded, so people who behead are better at him because they have more balls? To me you have zero credibility regarding this issue because of opinions like this, it shows you are clearly not objective and rational

You believe some petty charity somehow makes up for deluding 15 million people in a ridiculous cult formed by a conman spreading racism, taking 10% of their income, coerced marriage etc.

By spreading ignorance and perpetuating stupidity you are doing mankind a huge disservice.

At no point I stated if those acts were justified or not, I was asked about the presence of the US in muslim countries before 9/11 (thats why I mentioned Nigeria) because apparently somebody believed that prior 9/11 the US had a non-intervention and peaceful foreign policy.

but yeah of course all these clear arguments stem from my irrational anti-Americanism because its hip.

Cliffs on their international politics are:

You're playing their game , they are happy.
Saddam was "worshipped" by american presidents, before he got tired of Israel's politics in the region, so he started doing the same stuff. USA told him to stop, he didn't. His image was turned from a major friend to the nation to the biggest evil on the planet -> Gulf War.

Thats pretty standard though, its the policy that follows that is of extreme importance and the USA obv failed on that one.

...Everyone gets it. You have an irrational devotion to anti-Americanism because you think it's fashionable.



Iranian's elected a prime minister in 1953 called Mossadeq. He came on and basically started to protect the interest of Iranian people, American's company didn't like it and they over threw the government. This lead to massive take over of all the populist movements inside Iran by religious figures (which were also against Mossadeq) and that eventually lead to the revolution in 79. USA was one of the first countries who actually recognized the new government of Iran with Khomeini in charge. Now it is that same government (and literally some of the same people in 53) who are trying to protect themselves from Americans because they have seen first hand what the American government does and they know American don't give a shit about anything other than the business interest of American companies. The story in Iraq and Afghanistan is very very similar. If you don't understand or acknowledge that dynamic and just blame stuff on religion of Islam, you are a fucking ignorant idiot. There are Muslims in eastern China who don't give a shit about the jews or America one way or the other because they have never been affected by them. So that alone should tell you that "Islam" has nothing to do with the violence.

Also most ignorant Americans don't know this, but in 1988 an Iranian passenger plane with 290 people was literally shot down by an American navy ship in the Persian Gulf. The people responsible on the boat were literally given a fucking medal after their term. But I guess it is Islam that is fueling the hatred.

No way for this question to not come off snarky, but if Islam isn't the driving force behind pretty much every Sunni message board online referring to Iranians as 'rafida' and go on all day about how shia do nothing but sit around insulting Aisha all day than what is. Even guys like Nakshawani seem to admit that anti-shia sentiment is 'mainstream' in Islam.

Isn't the #1 terrorism victim by body count in Pakistan the Shia?

lol, I dont hate America. I actually really like most stuff about America. But there are some retarded stuff with them as well. Gun control is one of them, this is another one.

PS: I said I have more respect for terrorist who blow themselves up than Harris. I also have more respect for them than their instructors. Harris is the definition of pseudo-intellectual. I understand why some unemployed orphan growing up in a warzone becomes a terrorist. But people like Sam Harris are just pure evil who don't have the balls to even say what they mean.

The problem is the framing of it. You can't call it "Islam". The Shia themselves say they are Islam. The grandmother in Canada also calls it Islam. Problem is fundamentalism and extremism. And that is in many concepts. So if you say fundamentalist Muslims are a problem that we have to deal with? I say absolutely yes. But there is a big difference between framing it that way or just say Islam is a problem.

For example in Russia extreme nationalism is a problem. So if you say the far right nationalist Russians are a problem that we have to deal with, i say yes. But people like Sam Harris would frame is as Russians are crazy, or Russian culture is a problem. And that framing only leads to bigotry and hatred and nothing good comes out of it. It just directs anger and hate towards a certain race, culture instead of an actual problem.

I was being sarcastic because I was told that thing when I argued against the US foreign policy... how can such a thing fly over your head -_-

You respect ignorant mass murderers more than pseudo intellectuals? are you fucked up, regardless of what Harris said he is leaps above any murderer.

And I challenged your claim that Harris has said that we should send a preemptive nuclear strike, please post your source or GTFO. (In before you post a vid from Cenk Yugur and get you ass kicked)

This has been discussed before, read the thread or gtfo man.

Over 50% of muslims are Islamists, which means they are in favor of death penalty for apostacy, homosexuality, favour sharia law in muslims countries and would like a Caliphate, so yeah >1% actually belong to terrorist cells, but hundreds of millions would still qualify to barbaric and insane.

He says that left agenda is to bring as many immigrants as they can and destroy family, borders and culture altogether. I get this but I simply don't understand why. It just doesn't make much sense unless there are hidden ulterior motives.

Talk about short term sensetional topics, to avoid more serious harder topics. In eastern europe, its about avoiding the real problem, corruption.

That's not the case either. Even if he was trying to avoid the topic of corruption what he says is definitely happening. I just don't get who would short term benefit from an Europe filled with contrasting religions, violence, crime, poverty and overpopulation.

No one benifits from short term "chaos", just some feel that this chaos can be and should be dealt with, and others prefer to ignore it/let someone else deal with it.

Also what is considered overpopulation?

And since when do people actually take leaders of eastern europe seriously?

Having thoughts ad personam is not very smart my friend. If he makes a fair point he makes a fair point, regardless of who he is.

Also Europe is overpopulated in the sense that the more people join it the more we will see our standards of life dropping down. Of course we don't want more people, we are having our own problems with poverty and we can't deal with this gigantic mass of immigrants coming over.


uiCk   Canada. Mar 31 2016 16:45. Posts 3521

So.. What are the metrics that made you come to the conclusion that europe is overpopulated, or will be overpopulated with an increase of 1-5% of its population (probably much less) caused by this situation? Since you much smarter then me, help me understand your analytical non emotionally biased conclusions?
Give you a start, maybe youll even explain to me what overpopulation means!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_overpopulation

And one of many articles talking about the population fertility rates and how it affects economies in developped nations.
( http://www.forbes.com/sites/currentev...s-declining-birth-rates/#53595e4b1ea5 tldr: most developped nations have rates significantly below 2.1 which is the rate needed to replace current workforce (workforce = economy) ; guess what the solution is?)

Also whos to say that last 10+ years of global stagnation, economically speaking, is not the real case for what might apear as drop in standard of living in developped and emerging markets?


As for his speech, he does raise valued questions, and expresses the problems areising/can arise from current situation. But his position, on left vs right, divisive politics is whats wrong and will hinder whatever actual solution will come out of all this (only solution really is for war torn countries to not be war torn, and proper integration of migrants that will stay in europe or other countries)

The west won the cold war but it lost the real war the cultural war. Marxism is not about culture it's about economics and state power. They are trying to decrease the middle class because they are harder to control, hold to much power and resources. They succeded with feminism of driving wages down and creating more taxpayers but the birthrates also went down. With immigrants they bring in low skilled workers with high birthrates and high dependency on the state and potential conflict that they can use.
Demoralization> Destabilization> Crisis> Normalization


The reason the west so readily embraces the state socialism is because it is very similar to christianity but instead of god you worship the state. They are also actively encouraging dysgenics by not punishing irresponsible behaviour and also rewarding it with economic incentives. The smart people will focus on career and have less children.

You are misidentifying a problem. It's not about overpopulation. A heavily populated area with productive, innovative, entrepreneurial minded individuals with a strong moral fabric will always succeed. If the majority of the people bring skill sets to a free market with minimal regulation which allows the market to adjust properly, things flourish. This is not an ideology, it's a historically proven truth.

However, in concurrence with your point, if you simply try and import labor for the purposes of filling markets without allowing for natural cultural assimilation with people that have no market value (sorry to say that means most all refugees) and have welfare and tax policies that disincentivize work and promote endless state dependence, you'll end up like Greece. That's where Murkel fucked up so epically horribly in Germany. One must acknowledge that the 1.1 million refugees take sooooo much more than they put in. This creates a huge dependent lower class, shrinks the piss out of the middle, and keeps the authoritarians in control because they can pander to the huge lower dependent class for support.

It's all about whether you are realistic enough to acknowledge human nature and put policies in place that promote growth rather than dependence on the basis of compassion which is what the pitch of Marxism always is from a political perspective.

Personally I think it's about two things

1) On an immediate level, driving down low-medium skill labor wages. Hotel cleaners, laborers, etc., are all run by staffing companies and the rich owners of said companies benefit quite a bit with a labor surplus. Also it creates the opportunity to grow the government and make more gov't groups dedicated to refugee aid etc. Essentially it lowers pay of existing jobs and also creates more government jobs which naturally makes people more reliant on the government, which can be good for getting votes (if your job is in an asylum center are you going to vote for parties saying they will close them?)

2) In the long run, I think the idealist politicians hope that immigrants really will 'integrate' and stay in contact with their family/friends back in their home countries. It's in the US/EU best interest for everyone in the Middle East to change opinion and love them a lot, and I think some dumbass politicians actually think over time taking in refugees will change public opinion in MENA in their favor.

I think a view of the world with "they" is childish, to believe there is such a level of organization, and malevolent control of things given many factors (stupidity, lifespan etc) simply isnt compatible with an objective view of the world, clearly society isnt the work of intelligent design but the work of the all mighty forces of randomness.

Sure there are Rothchilds and Bohemian Groves just as any bee hive has a queen, but those queens didnt design the hexagonal patterns, ultimately they are just as powerless to their condition and genetic programming than the humble working bee.


In this specific case I think its ridiculous to believe somebody is willingly flooding Europe with immigrants for some machievelic machination, people like Merket are doing it because they thing is the right thing to do mainly among many other secondary motives.

where do people get all these misconceptions about refugees? is it the media? why are we not receiving any fair and insightful coverage about the one's who are making it here from other countires. rapists, unskilled workers, serial killers, wtf? most of the syrians that come to europe are well-educated and prior to emigrating were middle or upper class citizens. people will believe anything that makes the world a simpler place and easier for their simpleton brains to understand. i think it boils down to greed. greed is what makes people want to close their borders, thinking that their life will be better. greed is what makes people blow up themselves and innocent people. they really believe they and their people will be better off.

and another myth i love is "lets help them in their own countries, instead of bringing them to our own." yeah sure, it's more cost-efficient to help them where they are. but have you thought it about one step farther? lets say we build a house for a family in their country and support them financially for a week or two. then they will be fine, right? just let the kids go back to the schools, oh wait it has been blown up. ok well at least the father still has his shop... oh nvm its also gone. it's not just the bombs they are fleeing, it's that their whole system and society is either destroyed or corrupt.

people like vandermeyde and dogmeat are as big of a problem as many extremists are. i mean, if you grow up in one of the richest countries in the world you have any and every possibility to educate yourself. yet some persistantly believe all these myths... it's just a simple way of looking at the world. one thing can be said about the extremists, that cannot be said for vandermeyde et al.,and that is that they do not have the same opportunities to educate themselves, so it's more understandable that they believe anything and behave like they do.

THE WORLD IS NOT SIMPLE. THERE ARE NO SIMPLE SOLUTIONS. THERE ARE NO EVIL PEOPLE (except mb psychopaths or whatever). PEOPLE ARE GREEDY AND THEY DON'T MIND TAKING IT FROM OTHER PEOPLE. THIS WORKS BOTH WAYS. caps lock is effective yo.

This is my problem with liberals today. They can't see the other person's side of the issue. Just because the majority of people are educated what does that matter when you have a lot that are coming in that are not. There is a reason there is a lot of crap is going down in the middle east, and if you think its 100% usa and the west's fault thats just absolutely retarded.

Then if you have a different viewpoint its standard liberal practice to say they are as bad as someone who blows themselves up. Its disgusting in my view and it quells discussion and free speech. Then you wonder why ridiculous people like Trump are doing so well.

I went to one of the top 50 public Uni's in the US.

I'm not the most intelligent guy around, far from it, but believe me at least 20% of the student body there was surprisingly incapable of critical thinking or really doing anything beyond studying for the test and plagiarizing.

Actually, I had to do some group work with a guy who think was quite literally illiterate. University has been a sham for quite awhile unless you're studying Engineering or specific fields of Science / Computer science imo.

post education rate is directly correlated with countries success, growth wise, wealth wise which leads to better wages and thus better living standards.

So using university as a pejorative term, especially sitting in front of a device that was invented by people with post secondary education, is quite dishonest.

And what you are talking about (and probably trax) is diminishing returns of universities, which is very normal, given the large amount of people that can afford to go now compared to , say, 100 years ago, and the amount of information one can gather online, blurrs the line between post secondary educated people, and non post secondary educated people. The returns are still there, just not as spectacular as before, since alot of universities have become financially oriented and accept people that are clearly more efficient at other tasks. And each department within universities, depending on societies needs, have moments of diminishing returns also, while other flourish (think finance and MBA's circa year 2000, which are now on downswing with major diminishing returns, especially MBA's)

But yea, i can also come up with examples of how person x is smarter more successful then person y who went to university, and x did not, so universities are a sham. these statements are invalid.

and would say, from my experience, more then 80% of people that attend(ed) universities have no grasp on critical thinking. though that number diminishes quickly once you get to year 2, year 3, post graduate studies. i don't know the numbers, but the amount of uni drop outs in our era far exceeds graduation levels i would think.

Most likely will enter some more circular discussions if i continue, so hopefully i can bow out, again. sometimes i wish i can just phase out LP temporarily from my memory,but i have the worst self control ever and always the urge to speak my mind

agreed 100% with uiCk on the University issue, indeed they arent as good as they used to be but you also see some hilariously ignorant rednecks dismiss university students as if somehow those damn liberals cant think of their own if they join one only because there are a bunch of retarded PC kids screaming in videos.

Gumster made the same mistake Capneo did saying Dogmeat is just as bad as a terrorist... come fucking on, Dogmeat is a racist idiot and actually I permanently banned him but he obviously isnt remotely as bad as somebody who beheads people, your argument loses any meaning when you say something so obviously not logical.

it's not circular and you're not wrong, it's just i think that these days when someone says 'go back to uni' they're implying a specific type of university student rather than insulting all uni students. conversely i've seen someone try to defend an argument with 'WHAT UNIVERSITY DID YOU GO TO? DO YOU EVEN HAVE A DEGREE' which is basically the other side of the same retard argument coin.

I think a view of the world with "they" is childish, to believe there is such a level of organization, and malevolent control of things given many factors (stupidity, lifespan etc) simply isnt compatible with an objective view of the world, clearly society isnt the work of intelligent design but the work of the all mighty forces of randomness.


I do not believe in any kind of organization such as illuminati and whatever, at least not in a specific structure. There is however a "flexible" organization if you can call it even that. Its just between the people that run the world and they are being changed constantly. I'm not quite sure how to formulate it in English, so I'll give an example:

Country A, B and C have the absolute geopolitical control, hence they are running the planet, however their leadership is changed, hence the " flexibility ". Rotshields and etc. are the commercial theory for running the world right now, because the USA has been the only geopolitical force that managed to win all battle for the past hundred years and they are(Rotschields ) the methaphorical bankers that run the country, obviously they are a big part of it, but i highly doubt they are the solo force. Politicians are never the true rulers however, its people with influence and money that are so in current society, were the people with the influence on army in the past.
Anyways the reason i can't call it an organization is, in the hyphotetical situation, any given country of the A,B,C could make a mistake and lose their power, and get replaced, or have inner restructuring and bend its politics, so its not like 10 people get in a room and decide "we ll demolish the Balkans" and do it. Now here s probably where people would instantly tell me to put my thin foil hat, cause its as if there is always someone thats there " out to get us ", but when you read political, geopolitical and historical reviews of how the world was ran the past 600-800 years, you ll always notice the same thing, the global power trying to submit as many people as possible towards their views. I guess its just human nature, its not something new however, it does not change the world we live in, its just something that people should be aware of and respond appropriately.
Observing the global picture for the past hundreds of years is something we should learn from. It's just a game of chess, being aware of it gives you the chance to be able to adapt fast, nothing more for most people. I'd rather know that, than be a dumbass who laughs at such " theories " ( just get through a geopolitical or international affairs course in an university and see those same things being confirmed by people with much higher authority than mine), not forcing anyone to change his views


P.S. thats a big offtopic
P.S. I was only agreeing with Mortensen about his views on politics not being ran in a way which helps society, but for ulterior motives, which is so in 90% of the cases

How does that make crimes irrelevant? You show me a fruity little article I'm sure I could counter with something else.

How many of the millions people will choose god over the country they just settled in. How many generations until they let that go? That's the problem you probably dont even know any muslims and you are just as bad as the people you probably despise on the right.

I'm for Canada helping refugees and bringing them over because we can cap it and screen these people. Why should Europe allow an unending stream of unscreened people, a lot of them not syrian and just taking advantage of the situation? Saudi Arabia and Iran sure don't and Turkey is getting fed up but they are getting paid so its OK. These people have very different values and beliefs and its dangerous to try and assimilate so many of them at once. There will be more Belgiums but we oppressed conquered and colonized and the middle east and syria is the way it is because USA, so its OK. #whiteguilt.

Yes, just as the Queen bee will do what a Queen bee does, but she does not design the hive, she does not build their society.

Of course a power hungry career bureaucrat will do stupid shit with power, that is what humans do, we are selfish , obtuse with a weak sense of morality, but Merkel isn't flooding Germany with refugees because she has some evil masterplan to dilute the race for votes for future generations of the stupid political party, nor Obama is drone-bombing the shit out of the middle east because he believes in the anglo-saxon hegemonmy, they both think they are kind of doing the right thing while at the same time pursuing personal interests and maintaining the Status Quo.

The way Mortensen spoke was as if there were some highly intelligent sociopaths orchestrating a multi-generational machiavelic scheme, and for better or worse thats not the reality, our genetic coding plus randomness rules our society at all scales.

Where do you get these numbers?

And Muslims from where? That is such a broad population. It is impossible to do any survey on Muslims on the entire world. Do you know how did this specific surveying work?

First, who is arguing for letting in "unscreened" people?
And second, why you think these refugees chose Europe and North America over Saudi Arabia and Iran to take shelter in? Do you think it is because they want to setup sleeper cells in those countries? These people know better than anyone why fundamentalism is a problem. The fundamentalist Islam is a real problem here and should be defeated in an ideological battle with the change of culture over time. To alienate possibly your best allies in such a war is the most destructive thing you can do.
The point is that almost all of these refugees are literally running away from the enemy. To turn them around is not only inhumane it is the most counter productive thing you can do to defeat Islamist extremist. The Belgian attackers were born and raised in Belgium. The London attackers were born and raised in England (one in Jamaica). Most of these fools blowing themselves up have never experienced the evil side of Islam. These refugees have and will be the voice in those mosques and communities who will speak against the bullshit ideology.

I can tell you first hand from many many people I know. The Muslims running away from Middle-east are the strongest and most outspoken people against the fundamentalist ideologies that is the root of the problem and their voice carries ALOT more weight than the likes of Bill Maher and Sam-fucking- Harris.

of course killing innocent people is worse than having the viewpoint that people should not be allowed to migrate to your country, that's not the point i was trying to make. i just mean that some people have excellent opportunities to educate themselves as citizens in europe and america, yet they believe shit that trump says and these easy "lets just close the borders" solutions

also the "go back to university" insult was a good one. ill do that. now you go back to your fucking mancave and read all those "reliable" sources that you've found of the people that are "the only ones daring to tell the truth about those immigrants!!"

They are running away from fundamentalism, but they still believe in some crazy shit. It would be hard and take time if it were any alien culture migrating this many people but with the people coming in, some hold on to beliefs that will make it harder for some people in this particular group to assimilate to society. How many people now and in future generations will feel oppressed and radicalize . I dont think that many but we already have ISIS thanks to people never experiencing the "evil" side of Islam, and this was before we tried a mass migration.

I went to a very multicultural school downtown, and I knew a lot of young Muslims who were good people, who were cool for the most part but they were very mad when the Danish cartoon scandal happened. There was also a small amount of kids who aren't going to school, because a lot of the time you'd see new people you have no idea who they are until they would leave to pray. They usually did not last at the school long, and the two times there was a girl with a niqab they lasted a day,. I think if you increase the numbers of that community exponentially all at once it would be foolish to not calculate or acknowledge the dangers especially when they will feel somewhat stigmatized by society .

People can't even debate this without people saying ridiculous shit like its USA's/The West/ our fault or Christianity is just as evil, its bullshit. I mean you are coming from a position where you think a free thinker is worse than a suicide bomber because you disagree with him. That to me is very fucking stupid because our value of freedom is what our countries are supposed to be about and needs to be protected over anything else. Is it so terrible to have people critically debating this position in a intelligent way? There are problems within and fully ignoring it will just make things worse for everyone.

So the ones who don't have extreme views those are the ones blowing themselves up? I guess more reason to not let them in, lol.

People are voting for Trump because they are tired of being told if they dont agree with the media's narrative they are wrong and racist and people are fed up. He's taking the angriest position on this and its gotten him way farther then he probably imagined. Even if you had a better opportunity to educate yourself it doesn't mean most people aren't clueless on politics and the world, because if anyone actually listen to him being debated on the issues and his own history its scary. But he's obviously smart enough to be in the position he's in even though he himself seems really clueless. Maybe if people would actually talk about issues instead of all the distractions already Trump would be done which is why I hope Sanders wins the nomination because with Hillary its going to be a ridiculous few months and he could have somewhat of a chance.

Oh please universities are a joke these days. Unless you are in one of the top universities or in a stem field or something useful you are just being told what to think and getting charged for it. You tow the politically correct line and you will pass easily. The majority of people will get a degree that they can feel superior about. The layman has every book in the world to read and no one to tell him what is acceptable or crazy. I went to a fucking graphic design degree and got dragged into these leftist lectures.

I said its not worthless (your made up example of plumber > doctor is not factual, nor is it an argument)

But i never said anything about getting "a cushy" job.

All i said is statistically/historically speaking, universities have been "worth" , and even though they can be percived as "worthless" they arr still "worth", its matter of diminishing returns. (A matter of using your brain instead of listening to some retards opinions on youtube)

I'm having some fun relax. My point is only a small % of the population is useful in university. Today it is a requirement for most jobs. There are many worthless degrees that don't make the people holding them superior in any way to baals views of 'rednecks' or working class people. These rednecks are often far more pleasant and down to earth. There is obvious brainwashing going on and making people conform. A university degree in many cases is to show your future employer that you are a good little peon.

If we are talking about dimplomas in saturated fields, like arts&psychology for example, then mostly, its to tell your future employer, wether the degree is relevant or not, that you can achive a 3 year "project" successfully. Wether you call that being a "good little peon" or brainwashing is your choice.

First of all, there is fundamental problem with surveying in most Muslims countries. I give you a perfect example. I travel to Iran and middle-east regularly. If while I am there someone ask me if apostasy should be punished by death. I will always say yes. I know all my friends and families and their families friends would say exactly the same thing. Because everyone is paranoid about government and surveillance etc. (which actually is not even that paranoid, because it is something that happens regularly)
Second, the law you are referring to, is actually part of Islam same as fasting is part of Islam. Same as lent is part of Christianity. But blowing up Muslims and terrorist attacks is actually not. It is only a specific interpretation by the extreme right wing group mostly from Saudi-Arabia and Pakistan.

But all that aside, I am not sure what conclusion you are trying to get at? Let me give you an example involving US. There are many survey that also say about 20%-30% of Americans are against abortion in ANY and ALL circumstances. There are also crazy American who go bomb, burn or do mass shooting at abortion clinics. So based on that are you suggesting that 20% of Americans which is about 60million people are actively out there trying to murder people at abortion clinics?

How often do burnings or mass shootings happen at abortion clinics once every 5 years? If I told those 60 million people Jesus sucks like they probably come across on tv or whatever weekly, would they start protesting sometimes to the point of violence? All your family and friends are paranoid because you think they are worried about surveillance? Some of your friends believe in death for apostasy and if they don't in Iran they do in other countries, its a lot more than 60 million people, and their 60 million are at least 3x crazier. I dont see how fixing that outlook should be 100% on Europe.

At no point Ive said that 50% of muslims are terrorist at any point, in fact I made it very clear that under 1% actually are connected to a terrorist cell, but that a majority or close to it are Islamists and have absolutely barbaric beliefs incompatible with the west, like death for leaving Islam, death to homosexuals, death to blasphemers etc. And im only focusing on capital punishment and Im not mentioning the countless other violent and hateful beliefs about women, modesty, corporal punishment, speech etc.

The swedish media covers up crime committed by non-whites because it is racist. Sweden doesn't gather crime statistics based on race because it is racist. Leftists repeatedly ignore crime statistics anyway so I guess this is the next step. Sweden is around 10 years from rape victims being blamed and forced to marry their attacker.

You keep saying any none leftist sources aren't valid well fuck you the leftist sources don't report on these things and are not to be trusted. Case in point with cologne trying to cover it up doesn't come out until 5 days later and only because everyone knew about it from social media. Same thing has happened in Sweden and the media did not report it AT ALL. http://ww.rrojasdatabank.info/HDRP_2010_40.pdf

Im not going to debate ownership influence over its media departments, its evident that most media has some kind of bias in regards to their views, and almost impposible to have a non bias media company (which is why i stick to news reports that have least amount of "analys" , basically i want only data, i can formulate my own opinions that you very much)

But, there are diferences, and even fox news and cnn have SOME code of journalistic integrety (as in they usually wont tolerate made up news, i read /watch none of those, since they are basically entertainment a d not news)
Dailynews has no such thing, its classified as a tabloid, with clear agenda (feeding of the angry anti-european sentiments).

So correct approach is for YOU to give and opinion based on report data, not some piece of shit click bait sites

I gave you the UN report. Ever notice stories about crimes but no mention of the assailants race? They do it because they don't want to cause racial tensions except when they are white like zimmerman lol. The mainstream media is owned by very few individuals and not reliable at all.

Funny you call me brainwashed, when used "overpopulation" as main proponent of your "argument" earlier, without actually knowing the actual meaning of tge term, which probably picked up on some zeitgeist type of video. Now THAT is the definition of brainwashed.

I think there is a tiny little gap between being against abortion and wanting to murder anybody who renounces their fucking faith.

I actually don't think there is a much of a difference. Being against abortion pretty much means the doctor and the mom are committing a murder. Should be punished by death/life sentence. People who believe in Islam are just as stupid as people who believe in other stuff. They don't understand the complications of the stuff they say. They don't say they want to murder people who renounce their faith. They say they have committed a death-penalty-crime. Same as people who perform abortion and murder unborn children have committed a death-penalty-crime. Saying stuff is easy. Doing is where crazy fundamentalists come into play. They chop people head off and they bomb abortion clinics. Both equally crazy.

And I don't know what % of Muslims are crazy fundamentalists aka jihadists. I think it is higher than Christians right now but not because of Islam. It is because today's socioeconomics status of majority Muslim countries. When majority Christian countries where in shitty socioeconomics status during middle and dark ages then Christians were the crazy motherfuckers and Muslims where the ones inventing Medicine, Astronomy, and Algebra. These discoveries and inventions were done exactly the same period that Christians in Europe were doing shits that make today's ISIS and AlQaida look like child's play. So what has changed? Islam is the same, Christianity is the same as well. People's culture have changed. And if you know the history it is impossible to blame it on religion. It is because of something else whatever that is. But we know for a fact it is not the religion and it is not the race.

How many Christian Americans believe that abortion should be punished by a life/death sentence like 0.0001%? How many people in america are killing abortion doctors one in 40 million? Has anyone bombed an abortion clinic for like 20 years? The last guy I remember bombing an abortion clinic happened was from the same dude who bombed the Atlanta Olympics and was on the run in the 90s. Some dude who was living in the trees evading capture in between bombings. You can't really make the comparison its insulting. If fundamentalist Christianity is bombing abortion clinics and killing doctors then it doesn't exist in USA, but chopping off heads does exist in the middle east.

Americans care more about protecting the constitution and the founding fathers over Christianity even most of the Christian Americans because there are so many different types of Christianity. Is Christianity really the same as it was before the dark ages?. Abortion in America isn't really even an issue its more of a distraction. That and its the law of the land and there is little to no violence. You can't even go to Iran and say something critical without the prospect of being punished and it seems like thats the norm for a lot of these societies

. I realize America goes and fucks shit up and destabilizes but Its not 100% their fault. Denying that the religion doesnt play a role in whats wrong in the middle east with the mindset is burying your head in the sand. Why do we have to go through the dark ages again where its now the muslims that are the crazy fuckers? Can't we evolve past this already? Its impossible to blame religion in the way cultures change? What?

No, being against abortion isnt the same than claiming homosexuals and apostates should be killed not even close, is this kind of huge leap in logic that you use in your arguments that make your credibility suffer, like saying Sam Harris is even worse than people who beheads Kafirs, these are not rational positions, but weird rationalizations.

The source of these violent beliefs is another subject, I dont blame solely religion because well the Bible, Torah and Koran are equally stupid and barbaric so of course culture is responsible but so is religion, people commit the most heinous crimes when they believe god is on their side and wouldnt be able to be manipulated by religious leaders into commit suicide without it.

Its not important for the subject if the culprit is religion, culture or both, but the they have these beliefs and they are fleeing to much more idologically advanced countries and this will obviously lead to strife.

As I said before im an anarchist so ideally there would be no borders, but if there are, this is the exact situation where they should serve its purpose.

Not third world admittedly but 2nd world. According to the UN report you will become like Poland is today. Poland interestingly will get to your current level. It's a remarkable drop going from probably number 1 or thereabouts in the world.

Why not do racial statistics? I know why they don't do it in Sweden because of disproportionate numbers. If natives committed more crime per capita they would make sure to point it out at every opportunity.

Every country reports their crime in a different manner. But there are significant differences (indifference by authorities & by victims) between developed, developping and 3d world countries. For example, household abuse will rarley be reported in non-developped countries, or bicle theft for example or other less significant crimes.

I dont know why you think im trying to "make excuses" , personally these discussions have very little to do with my personal life, and only thing im interested in is building proper rational perspective on these issues. My.knowledge on these issues has increased tenfold ever since i started talking about it, mostly by applying my general knowledge, logic, economic knowledge with a very skeptic approach as to whoever offers "solutions", wether on left or right spectrum. Im apolitical and have no other intrests other then rational thought. So you really need to stop with these baseless assumptions and start disecting your belifs and certitude on issues you seem to have little knowledge on.

  Muslims where the ones inventing Medicine, Astronomy, and Algebra.



*made contributions to. I hear this claim all the time. First of all they conquered Mesopotamia.


  The first century of the Islamic Arab Empire saw almost no scientific or mathematical achievements since the Arabs, with their newly conquered empire, had not yet gained any intellectual drive and research in other parts of the world had faded. In the second half of the 8th century, Islam had a cultural awakening, and research in mathematics and the sciences increased.[45] The Muslim Abbasid caliph al-Mamun (809–833) is said to have had a dream where Aristotle appeared to him, and as a consequence al-Mamun ordered that Arabic translation be made of as many Greek works as possible, including Ptolemy's Almagest and Euclid's Elements. Greek works would be given to the Muslims by the Byzantine Empire in exchange for treaties, as the two empires held an uneasy peace.[45] Many of these Greek works were translated by Thabit ibn Qurra (826–901), who translated books written by Euclid, Archimedes, Apollonius, Ptolemy, and Eutocius.[46]
There are three theories about the origins of Arabic Algebra. The first emphasizes Hindu influence, the second emphasizes Mesopotamian or Persian-Syriac influence and the third emphasizes Greek influence. Many scholars believe that it is the result of a combination of all three sources.



Same goes for the others which are even more ridiculous to claim to have invented.

What is inherently wrong with tracking crime trends among different demographics? It can only be positive info from a law enforcement / crime prevention perspective.

Also, you should consider stopping that childish 'omg you're so dumb i don't even need to explain myself!' routine. If someone is really so stupid why even reply? Your posting style doesn't make you look intellectually superior to anyone and it certainly doesn't challenge anyones' opinion.

The problem reporting crime by races are predominantly in one social class (poor people steal more obv) and while even in the same social class it ignores many other factors and suggesting a race has a genetic predisposition to crime or violence isn't really helpful, even if true the % is minor and wont lead to any fruitful action and only help to justify racism

Well this girl gets it, she's got some balls unlike majority of her brethren. Now this i approve of. Some self policing and no more "we're so oppressed" bullshit in every host country they're in. Empower the moderates who actually have some balls to stand up for what is obviously a terrible interpretation of a religion. I hope more people like her don't get into trouble and actually get support from fellow muslims, and I'm talking about uneducated ones, not only people who go to school in the west.

Your cynicism is irrational and highly misplaced.

If this was fabricated translation, A) that would quickly become a story in itself and B) what exactly would be the angle on that by whoever is taking the time to fabricate such a video?

Sounds like you are making really weird justifications to keep rationality and the 1st hand experience out of the discussion so as to reinforce your own ego which is tied in with your dumb arguments. Not at all uncommon, we all want to be right, but how insane are you willing to get, because this is just absurd. I presume even the people in this thread who agree with you on the broader issues would concede that you are being ridiculous.

it's skepticism, not cynicism

  MEMRI states that its goal is to "bridge the language gap between the Middle East and the West".[2] Critics charge that it aims to portray the Arab and Muslim world in a negative light, through the production and dissemination of inaccurate translations and by selectively translating views of extremists while deemphasizing or ignoring mainstream opinions.




  The institute was co-founded in 1998 by Yigal Carmon, a former Israeli military intelligence officer and Meyrav Wurmser, an Israeli-born American political scientist.



i don't think that can be overlook, if you want to have an object pov.

there are multiple examples that you can find where translations where more or less accurate.

Unless you speak the language, i have no idea how you can confirm the validity of this video at 100%.

 
Meyrav Wurmser is an Israeli-born, American neoconservative political executive. She is married to Swiss-American David Wurmser, former Middle East Adviser to US Vice President Dick Cheney.

I can't confirm it 100 %. Does that mean it's not valid? Can you confirm that President Obama isn't a closet Radical Muslim? Can you go inside his mind? Would it be healthy skepticism to keep that on the table? No, that would be cynical, not skeptical. Same shit, because you have no reason other than the protection of your own argument to think this is some kind of conspiratorial fake video, because it's an absurd claim with zero logic behind it other than the classic "How can you know FOR SURE". Why don't you plug this into google translator and confirm that you are a dumbass. I choose not to because it's a lot of work for nothing, but if I really thought there was a chance this was fake, I'd consider it. Muddying the waters with philosophy 101 is typical psuedo-intellectual bullshit that everyone can see through. It's not working, it's not persuasive, and it makes you seem far more paranoid than critical.... unless ofcourse your persuasive goal is to further my distrust in the sanity of my generation, in which case thumbs up, you are killing it.

Your use of Meyrav's political affiliation is a non-starter, exactly the same way it would be a non-starter for me to use Barack Obama's awful deal with Iran as evidence that he's a closet Radical Muslim... you can attempt to use Nihilistic circular logic to attempt to dismantle "certainty" for pointless filibuster but don't understand basic correlation vs causation.

No. Not really. Because as I said, if it's mis-translated, it's easily debunkable by simply translating it. Again, all you are doing is muddying the waters with unhealthy skepticism/cynicism (whatever). How about going after the substance of what she is saying instead of creating a ridiculous conspiracy? If you are so concerned that this MIGHT be fake, in the same way that the Earth might actually be flat after-all, would you like another speech from someone making the same points in the same situation? Wouldn't be hard to find. Or would you just claim that we can't be certain those are real either?

It's not simple fact checking. Simple fact-checking is checking the validity of things that would reasonably be exaggerated or lied about, usually claims by politicians. This is not one of those things. You can't see the difference, which is sad. Basically you are saying that I'd need to go and personally translate anything said in a foreign language in order to make sure it's not shadily translated, apparently especially by anyone who is conservative and pro-Israel (as if those are such radical things to be). That's called paranoia sir.

Accused by weirdos like you. Not shocking.

How does one "accuse" someone of mis-translating. It's not exactly subjective.

My Arabic isn't the greatest, but what I find interesting is that she is specifically talking about Salafis and madrasas. And how religious fundamentalism is not criticized. And she is 100% right. She is NOT actually talking about Islam, she is talking about how Muslims are not standing up to extremism.

So now that we've established that there is a scary amount of Muslim fundamentalists, radicals, extremists, whatever you want to label it, what is the solution?

Let's pretend for a second that we can eliminate or enlighten all of the bleeding heart leftists who think this problem will go away if the West "minds it own business". Because that's obviously step 1, the step we are currently fighting to achieve within our own ideological battle.

But what is step 2? Is there one?

I'd posit that step 2 is to become energy independent and take the financial power away from the theocracies that fund most of the terrorism (Iran, etc.), who make most of their money selling oil directly or indirectly to us. Yet again, this involves a battle against the Left who thinks its better to pay more for oil to terrorist governments so as to somehow save the planet, then to simply drill right beneath our feet.

I say this because toppling governments and Democracy building always fails so they will need to figure out for themselves that their systems are awful and have their own revolutions, which will never happen until we stop buying oil from them and there is massive civil unrest.

Iranian's elected a prime minister in 1953 called Mossadeq. He came on and basically started to protect the interest of Iranian people, American's company didn't like it and they over threw the government. This lead to massive take over of all the populist movements inside Iran by religious figures (which were also against Mossadeq) and that eventually lead to the revolution in 79. USA was one of the first countries who actually recognized the new government of Iran with Khomeini in charge. Now it is that same government (and literally some of the same people in 53) who are trying to protect themselves from Americans because they have seen first hand what the American government does and they know American don't give a shit about anything other than the business interest of American companies. The story in Iraq and Afghanistan is very very similar. If you don't understand or acknowledge that dynamic and just blame stuff on religion of Islam, you are a fucking ignorant idiot. There are Muslims in eastern China who don't give a shit about the jews or America one way or the other because they have never been affected by them. So that alone should tell you that "Islam" has nothing to do with the violence.


You mean the jihadi separatists in China that go on machete sprees at train stations?

"protect themselves from Americans" - Yes, yes, Iran's nuclear weapons program, which is nothing new, is just an attempt to protect against the evil Americans. What are you talking about? You sound like the Dear Leader.

The religion engenders violence almost everywhere it exists or goes.

So you're against the faction that says the problem is the "West" and they need to go away, but you basically want to cut ties and let people fight it out and hope that, when the smoke clears, Muslim countries will be more like Albania and Turkey than a caliphate? The oil point is clear and we've known about it since the 80s (unfortunately people in power prefer the status quo), but I wish you would elaborate what you mean when you want to create "civil unrest," like what specific countries.

I'm more asking than telling, I don't have the answers.

And I don't want to create civil unrest, I just think it's probably necessary for change, as is historically the case, and it would be a byproduct of the theocracies going broke (I'd think) and people rising up. But maybe the answer is more interventionism like in Iraq. I firmly believe we could have and would been successful had Barack Obama been willing to leave residual forces in place. I guess that was the strategy and it was working relatively well until we lost our nerve and Leftists took over, pulled out (while still toppling other governments like in Libya with no long term strategy in mind), and started doing favors for Iran.

I don't know. I just know the common denominator undermining progress is the confused, Anti-Western Left who apologizes for Terror-Funding Dictatorships/Theocracies and still doesn't understand that Capitalism is the only economic system on that planet that works for large, culture-diverse nations. So I'm pretty much just committed to fighting Leftism the best I can, but I am curious if you or anyone else in this thread who has been shown to be intelligent have a specific philosophy or plan as to how we should attack the problem of Islamism.

Edit: I guess maybe one general answer to my question is to let Non-Partisan experienced Military personnel start making foreign policy decisions instead of self-interested politicians in general.... the irony is it would take a politician to make that call.

Pulling out, as usual, has not been shown to be reliably effective for achieving what you want.




And I posted a brief summary of all the shit the United States has been doing in the region for the past decades.

My argument is that the recipe to brew terrorist is to stir up hatred through religion and ignorance and let it simmer, but this basic ingredient, hatred comes from your foreign policy, these people were affected by the US intervention one way or another, families destroyed in wars, relatives being blown up by drones etc, it is this suffering and need for retribution that powers terrorism (and again, helped by religion, poverty etc).

Why is this so difficult for you to see? if you were living an ok life its hard for you to throw it away in a crazy pursuit, but if someone kills your mom before your eyes while you are young and turns out somebody tells you that God himself is telling you to avenge her and that after you do it you will go to heaven then no wonder they actually do it.

There are two ways to stop this, you either withdraw from the region totally and stop this cycle or a total genocide so there is no one left to pick up the rifle... I obviously think the first option is far more reasonable.

So are you saying the US is peaceful? and if I dont believe so I have a dogmatic interpretation of pacifism? are you fucking serious?

Who on earth would consider the US a peaceful nation? You have by far the biggest army in the world, you have been literally in constant war with dozens of different countries for the past 200 fucking years.

I think its pretty safe to say that the US does not have a remotely peaceful foreign policy.

Baalim, you clearly do believe in pacifism = peace, you just repeated it again, saying we have a huge, violent military that we deploy for selfish rather than self-defense purposes and that if we were "passive" and just left, the "cycle" would end.

The dogma he is referring to is the myth that the only reason people hate the West is that the West somehow creates the hatred instead of internalizing the incredibly basic truth that Terror groups and governments will use Islamic dogma to stir up hatred and unite people against non-Muslims regardless of what we do.

Saying that the US has a big army and is in a lot of wars means absolutely nothing and proves no point whatsoever when the people you are fighting are Nazis and Islamic Fascists, unless you think they were somehow just fine before we stepped in.

But you are right, sure would be nice if the US didn't have the do the heavy lifting, and we are pretty damn sick of it over here. Maybe some day Mexico will join the good fight instead of flooding our country with welfare-dependent mothers, violent criminals, and drug dealers.


Liquid`Drone   Norway. Apr 11 2016 11:15. Posts 3093

As long as the Israeli occupation of Palestine continues (with western support) there will always be fuel for the terrorist agenda. I think the idea that muslims in the middle east hate me because Norway allows women to vote and attend school and homosexuals to marry is far dumber than the idea that they hate the west for their continued involvement (with support of dictators whenever strategically viable) in the middle east. Sure, you can argue that what originated as fight against western imperialism has to some degree transformed into generic western hate and hate of western values, but there is no doubt which comes first of these two.

The problem is that people's perspectives aren't long enough. 'People', as a generalization, are not that willing to change their minds, and for perceptions to be altered, we largely need to wait for the previous generation to die. Even with american withdrawal from the region, we'd be likely to face another couple decades of occasional terror, which would consequently pull you back into the region. I'm not very optimistic here and I don't really see a future outcome better than 'a couple thousand people die from terror attacks every decade', but honestly, those numbers are still fairly small.. As long as no terror nukes / attacks on nuclear power plants, the potential damage to western society comes more from the response to terror than from actual terror attacks.

Also, while it is true that world war 2 is what initially bloated the size of the US military, the global fight against communism is what kept it bloated, not the fight against 'islamic fascism'. In latin america, this fight had pretty disastrous and undemocratic effects, which has stirred anti-american sentiments in the continent for the past 60 years. Granted, not much terrorism from that region, which can probably partially be attributed to religious influence, and partially to violent revolutions overthrowing american-friendly regimes actually succeeding. (Which, in several cases, resulted in american-sponsored terrorism - of which the death tolls in latin america alone are at least equal to all terrorist attacks against western targets for the past 20 years. )

No.
That's the main problem. Interventionism will only cause more trouble that's for sure. That's why the problem is so hard to resolve. Not a single person in his right mind approves of USA's invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq and they are right, look what it brought.

No.
That's the main problem. Interventionism will only cause more trouble that's for sure. That's why the problem is so hard to resolve. Not a single person in his right mind approves of USA's invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq and they are right, look what it brought.

Well Hamas's charter states that their mission will not be complete until Israel is destroyed and replaced with an Islamic caliphate. So you are correct, one solution to the problem would be to destroy Israel, you have that in common with the Muslim Extremists.

However, just to correct your history, it was created by the United Nations, not the United States. Big difference, considering it was the worlds solution to a complex problem following a genocide of the Jewish people and giving them a state in a land owned by the Ottomans (not the 'Palestinians, 'Palestine' has never been a country... ever, Palestine doesn't even mean anything aside from a biblical term which is very much post the Israelites)

Also, incase its relevant to you, it's ALWAYS the other side that attacks first, never Israel. As recently as 2000, Israel gave back Gaza and the West Bank in exchange for peace. What happened? Palestinians bombed Israel from those areas, so Israel rightly went back in, took that shit back. Shocker.

Is my history wrong? Or is your premise? Because neither are compatible. Maybe you need to do a little research, I know you think you know what's going on, but when you say things like "the USA created Israel" and "Israel is constantly invading"... you admit complete ignorance.

And I posted a brief summary of all the shit the United States has been doing in the region for the past decades.

My argument is that the recipe to brew terrorist is to stir up hatred through religion and ignorance and let it simmer, but this basic ingredient, hatred comes from your foreign policy, these people were affected by the US intervention one way or another, families destroyed in wars, relatives being blown up by drones etc, it is this suffering and need for retribution that powers terrorism (and again, helped by religion, poverty etc).

Why is this so difficult for you to see? if you were living an ok life its hard for you to throw it away in a crazy pursuit, but if someone kills your mom before your eyes while you are young and turns out somebody tells you that God himself is telling you to avenge her and that after you do it you will go to heaven then no wonder they actually do it.

There are two ways to stop this, you either withdraw from the region totally and stop this cycle or a total genocide so there is no one left to pick up the rifle... I obviously think the first option is far more reasonable.


Over half the boys out there are regularly raped as children so that populace is going to be intrinsically fucked up before any foreign policy factors even come into effect.

Africa has as bad if not worse atrocities going on all the time and we dont get involved there. No oil, no Nukes, no threat to israel (real reasons we out there). Close borders. Give aid rather than sanctions where possible. Send in CA operatives to bring about internal change as we did with South America and the more recently eastern Europe via the color revolutions.

Who on earth would consider the US a peaceful nation? You have by far the biggest army in the world, you have been literally in constant war with dozens of different countries for the past 200 fucking years.

I think its pretty safe to say that the US does not have a remotely peaceful foreign policy.

No I am not from the "sand", I speak a little Chinese too, try to get over that one as well. And I said people blowing themselves up vs Sam Harris. Actually, that is a great example about beheading. The people who make the beheading videos are alot more dangerous and fucked up than people blowing themselves up. They are too much of a pussy to do it themselves but they want to see the world burn. That is pretty much Sam Harris, a big pussy who is trying to burn down the world but is too much of a coward to do anything about it.

The fact that Mexico is more corrupt somehow makes the US foreign policy peaceful or somehow refutes a single sentence I typed?

Where did you come up with me making any of those points about that timeline? I'm the dumbass tho.

There is no doubt about Russia's role in WWII. But part of it was because Hitler was literally in their country. And second was because the Nazi regime hated the communists more than the Jews. America's role is very significant because they didn't have to engage in the war at all.

Forgive me for correcting your factually incorrect statements, how dare I.

So what you are saying here is that the UN is just USA proxy organization that exists for the purposes of fooling idiots like me. Mmmmk.

But I'll play along.

Since you seem to have a firm grasp on this grand conspiracy, what exactly is the purely self-interested, corrupt purpose that the USA had for "creating Israel"? Please, enlighten me.

Also for like the 50th time, since you seem to have a hard-on for Donald Trump and pretending I've said anything to indicate I like him, I don't although I'd much prefer him to Hillary Clinton because unlike her, I think he actually gets some things right and genuinely wants to do a good job for his insanely large ego and I actually do buy the overplayed line that he isn't bought and paid for. So no need to create strawmen because I'm not a Trump supporter. The emergence of Donald Trump only serves to illustrate the utter failure of both party establishments who both have essentially advocated for not enforcing our immigration laws.

The US got in way too late, it's true, and Russia definitely took a huge tole. But as previously stated, it was geography and Germany's invasion that necessitated Russia's involvement.

Hitler's single biggest mistake was declaring war on the US, we were initially only going to war with Japan and probably wouldn't have invaded Germany and saved everyone else's asses soon enough had that not happened. It was completely unnecessary and stupid by Hitler, but he had really gone off the deep end high on that amphetamine and believed he was divine and couldn't lose.

There s nothing conspirative about this. Also, if you can't answer to that question by yourself it just proves that you lack basic knowledge about politics. Controlling regions means controlling resources means greater power which is a basic human need and everything leads to basic human needs in the end.
But then again you believe USA did something good by forcing themselves in Iraq and Afghanistan so... there s that.

All of this only confirms my claims about your knowledge on those topics

Anyways, yes USA didn't do much comparing to others in WW2. They just tested the deadliest weapon ever created on hundreds of thousands of people for no real reason. Yet its Germany that is forbidden to have a nuclear weapon. The USA however did everything in a smart way and secured every inch of strong positions they could take and did it in a brilliant way if we ignore basic human morals that is, but as I've mentioned, basic human morals and politics have nothing in common so its not like they are the big bad evil, certainly not worse than Stalin's policy who is probably way worse than Hitler himself, its just that everyone cared about jews and not russians in the end due to obvious propaganda which can make two reasonably similiar things look like they have nothing in common, anyways the USA just outsmarted everyone and they deserve the position they put themselves in.

There are plenty of great scholars and philosophical arguments on both sides of the Nuke issue but for "no real reason?" Damn.... that's a pretty absurd statement.

As for the "controlling regions means controlling resources" stuff... I get the concept, was just wondering if that's where you were going with it.

A) Ofcourse we don't get any resources from Israel directly so this is already a retarded theory. We get oil from all the shitty dictatorships. Israel is rich because it actually makes stuff and has a free economy that produces things. If you think it's some sort of proxy country for us to control the middle east from, I don't know what to tell you, it's just ridiculous.

B) If that's what we wanted to do we would have simply bought off the people living there, like we do (wrongly) with plenty of dictatorships and theocracies around the world, not helped establish a free government. And yes, that would be conspiratorial - to somehow have the UN do our bidding to create a nation that we secretly control. That would be conspiratorial on the part of the US, the UN (consisting of many countries), Israel, etc. And I'm not saying corruption doesn't occur, I just think you have the ever-so-common State-fed liberal worldview that isn't concerned with facts and history, just broad theories about the evil intentions of Western Nations, particularly the US.

As we've established, you aren't good with the history stuff, like how you can't explain why Israel gave so much land to the Palestinians in 2000 in exchange for peace only to be attacked from that very land, and how this has happened 10+ times in the last 50 years, so that takes apart the whole if "Israel was just nice" stuff ..... along with Hamas's charter that says an Islamic caliphate needs to be established in that land.

This isn't a personal attack, but I'm guessing you went to a public university, that's usually where all the indoctrination occurs. Very little learning about actual objective material and a lot instilling of left-leaning wacky worldviews that have become mainstream.

Anyway, it's more than clear that both of us think the other person is completely naive and wrong so there really is no common ground to share here and work from. I'll quit making counter-points, it's pointless, feel free to have the last word.

PS - The one thing that is obviously great about Donald Trump IS the wall idea. Clearly Mexican illegals just wrecking our shit - and I don't blame them at all, I'd do the same thing if I was stuck in that hell-hole. And before you play the race card, this isn't about race at all, just your system of government, awful and corrupt, and I feel bad for the people who come here, but they ain't our responsibility and are voting for big-government, welfare-state Democrats and making us broke so I gotta say the wall idea is simple and amazing.

Facepalm, these people leave their families, give all their savings to a coyote, cross the country and walk through deserts risking death and you think that a stupid wall would stop anyone?, all a wall does is create a nice market for ladders.

It would probably take less than 5 minutes to pass the wall and all of that after you have spend dozens of billions hiring immigrants building this endless monstrosity and spend more billions every year to maintain it, total good use of your taxes.


The fact that this isn't painfully obvious to you speaks volumes of how deep you think things.

I don't take anything as a personal attack here, still you shouldn't make guesses based on your educational system when it comes to other countries as no rational country would take your model

I did write a huge post, however you are right, we both think the other person is clueless about this topic so its kind of a pointless argument.

I'm more asking than telling, I don't have the answers.

And I don't want to create civil unrest, I just think it's probably necessary for change, as is historically the case, and it would be a byproduct of the theocracies going broke (I'd think) and people rising up. But maybe the answer is more interventionism like in Iraq. I firmly believe we could have and would been successful had Barack Obama been willing to leave residual forces in place. I guess that was the strategy and it was working relatively well until we lost our nerve and Leftists took over, pulled out (while still toppling other governments like in Libya with no long term strategy in mind), and started doing favors for Iran.

I don't know. I just know the common denominator undermining progress is the confused, Anti-Western Left who apologizes for Terror-Funding Dictatorships/Theocracies and still doesn't understand that Capitalism is the only economic system on that planet that works for large, culture-diverse nations. So I'm pretty much just committed to fighting Leftism the best I can, but I am curious if you or anyone else in this thread who has been shown to be intelligent have a specific philosophy or plan as to how we should attack the problem of Islamism.

Edit: I guess maybe one general answer to my question is to let Non-Partisan experienced Military personnel start making foreign policy decisions instead of self-interested politicians in general.... the irony is it would take a politician to make that call.


One aside on Iraq is we left at their government's request.

I think stopping the gravy train of oil money to fundamentalism is a given, of course.

What you have to do is start with what you think (geo)politics is. It's very dependent on the people involved, rather than merely the institutions. This is one of the reasons why DPRK relations have gone from bad to better to shit again. Administrations on both (all) sides change. Whenever you get a new asshole in charge of something, like most humans, they have no idea what the fuck they're doing so they wipe the slate clean and install their own shitty policy that they made up. My favorite example of that is NASA. With mild concerted effort and a consistent political will, we would have been on Mars decades ago (this isn't hyperbole, by the way - it's an argument not for here but the obstacles aren't technological, they're political, bureaucratic, or whatever you want to call it).

The force of conservatism in the world, which is so valuable in mostly preserving the status quo so we don't fuck up our civilization too much all at once, is also an obstacle when it comes to solving problems. The reason is it's blind. It keeps the good things good and the bad things bad, and it's difficult to solve things on short timescales because of the magnitude of the challenge, and then it's difficult to solve things on long timescales because as I said before, the people get recycled and there's not so much consistency.

People who are wont to criticize Trump for isolationism, insinuating he wants to start trade wars and so forth, and that he doesn't understand a globalized world, they then turn around and basically advocate for building a fence around the Middle East and hoping the world fixes itself. But it's apparently a one-way fence. Their problems can spill over into the rest of the world, but anything the West could possibly do to modernize the Muslim world isn't allowed because of "colonialism" or "imperialism" or some other buzzword. Give me a break. We're at a point in history where we pretty well know there's only one type of system that can create a working, peaceful nation in the long run. With respect to large, diverse nations. There may be other ways to do civilization but they're as yet unproven (not sure about China). Or they're things that it's disadvantageous for part of the world to return to (e.g., forms of feudalism). The market, first of all, has to be free, but socially (i.e., democratically) regulated. There's a continuum you can fall on and have a workable economy. The government has to be mixed, but liberal. There is a continuum here as well: constitutional monarchies are not unworkable.

What's a non-starter is the notion that some people aren't "ready" for a normal society. The guy getting thrown off a building for being gay is probably ready, even if the guy who threw him might need some convincing. Savvy? It's too late in history. We're talking about countries that move hundreds of billions of dollars, they produce doctors, they have politicians representing democracy, any asshole can get an AK47 for $100, but they're not ready for a woman's testimony to be equal to that of a man. Fuck off. You can't just sit in Europe and the USA and the rest of the developed world with the wishful thinking that the first world could never lose what it has achieved and assume you can somehow quarantine the problems in the world and expect them to sort themselves out in hundreds of years. If you took that attitude towards poverty or HIV or anything else, where would it get you. I don't know what it fucking means when people say "they" are not "ready" for "democracy." It's something you only hear applied to Muslim countries because of suicidal cultural relativists (for example, Baal) posting from the luxury of the developed world. If you said South Africa wasn't ready for the end of apartheid, you'd look quite the fool.

I admit I don't personally do thing 1 to help the third world. But I don't fucking delude myself into thinking doing nothing is the answer just to make myself feel righteous. That's insane.

The thing about moving away from oil is you create an economic question when oil is a big part of the economy. The intended effect is you're taking power away from fundamentalism to make the society or government more liberal. But a result is they can also grip tighter on the little shit they have left (for example, the DPRK).

Iraq to me seems to show that cutting a country off for 12 years and expecting it to fix itself is bullshit.

If you look at reality, the USA is the only country that has the political and practical power to do military intervention (basically) unilaterally. Other countries could do it practically (esp. Russia and Iran in the region), but politically it never seem to be on the table. Why is that? Why doesn't the Arab world form coalitions and fix their own shit? They're pretty quick to band together if it's about a war with Israel. Why have the Saudi and Egyptian armies never intervened in Syria their own damn selves? Worth thinking about.

The UN is not a tool of the USA. The UN was designed to be as impotent as possible.

One thing the USA is really good at is special operations. I'm sure we don't hear about everything they do, but I bet they could do more against paramilitary/terrorist groups. The thing with drone strikes is you get people saying oh no you can never kill someone remotely. The fact is that these nations, like Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen, they already fight militant groups. The USA, by virtue of its enormous defense sector, happens to be the best at it. That's should be a useful tool for our allies in the region, and we shouldn't live in a world where we have to kill bin Laden in Pakistan secretly.

The thing is in any contest, whether diplomatic/political or military, most people are just working towards their own interests. Not as many parties want to work towards a real solution to whatever specific problem might come up in the region. That's the one thing the US or a "coalition" or the international community can contribute.

In a pinch, I think military intervention is preferable to sitting on our thumbs. Think of it as an overcorrection. We can't fund thousands of Westhabi secular mosques of enlightenment in Saudi Arabia, but when a country goes off the deep end, we can step in and create a foundation for the future. I think that's what's happened in Iraq. I really sincerely believe the reason nobody has intervened in Syria is because the US was approaching an election cycle and Obama didn't want to deploy troops in the second term of a Democratic administration.

Europe's (much moreso than the US) assimilation problem is also part of this. They're the conduit for cross-cultural exchange because there aren't so many Westerners moving to the Middle East. The more secular and normal they become, the more of that seeps back into Muslim societies.

What's a non-starter is raising your hand and going "How about we do nothing?" It's like that John Cleese movie. Moriarty says he'll "stop at nothing" and the one guy says "I suggest we do nothing... perhaps he will stop at it."

Anyways, yes USA didn't do much comparing to others in WW2. They just tested the deadliest weapon ever created on hundreds of thousands of people for no real reason.

I'm sorry, maybe you'd like the Japanese Empire back?

Most of the war in Europe was the Eastern front, yes, because Hitler thought the USSR should be part of Germany.

And I posted a brief summary of all the shit the United States has been doing in the region for the past decades.

My argument is that the recipe to brew terrorist is to stir up hatred through religion and ignorance and let it simmer, but this basic ingredient, hatred comes from your foreign policy, these people were affected by the US intervention one way or another, families destroyed in wars, relatives being blown up by drones etc, it is this suffering and need for retribution that powers terrorism (and again, helped by religion, poverty etc).

Why is this so difficult for you to see? if you were living an ok life its hard for you to throw it away in a crazy pursuit, but if someone kills your mom before your eyes while you are young and turns out somebody tells you that God himself is telling you to avenge her and that after you do it you will go to heaven then no wonder they actually do it.

There are two ways to stop this, you either withdraw from the region totally and stop this cycle or a total genocide so there is no one left to pick up the rifle... I obviously think the first option is far more reasonable.

What you posted was peanuts. You're just not living in reality if you still don't get that. The argument you're making isn't reasonable. It's like telling someone to swim across a river of piranhas, but make sure they don't have anything on your body that triggers piranhas, like raw meat (I don't know how piranhas actually work, this is just an example). Then the person gets eaten and you say it's his fault because he had spilled ketchup on his shirt. In the meantime hundreds of piranhas are eating each other and you also blame the guy for that. That if he had just been 100% clean of any food or food-smelling stuff, rather than 98% clean of it, there would be peace in the piranha river, but it's all his fault.

You are correct that religion is a huge part of militant Islam. Big surprise. That's why you get psychos leaving Europe to join ISIS. That applies elsewhere. It's not like the only psychos in the world live in Europe and everyone who joined ISIS from the Middle East was an innocent and nice young boy who wouldn't hurt a fly except that his mother got blown up by a US drone strike so he had no choice but to rape a Yazidi child to death.

Your nonsensical false dichotomy of either 1) build a wall around the Muslim world and quarantine it or 2) genocide all Muslims - doesn't deserve to be entertained. This is what I meant earlier when I said it's a non-starter. You need to be able to look at a country and say, what should be our goals here, what's good for everybody? Should we support these factions or those factions, should we help this influence or that influence, what kind of aid should we give, to whom, for what, what kind of sanctions should we have, against what, and why. If there's conflict in the country, what if any military action should we take? That's not to say someone always needs to act. There may be cases where doing nothing would be the best option. But you can't know that's the answer to everything. You cannot answer a specific question like "What kind of constitution should Syria be based on?" with "Leave American Dogs." Your attitude precludes thinking.

So are you saying the US is peaceful? and if I dont believe so I have a dogmatic interpretation of pacifism? are you fucking serious?

Who on earth would consider the US a peaceful nation? You have by far the biggest army in the world, you have been literally in constant war with dozens of different countries for the past 200 fucking years.

I think its pretty safe to say that the US does not have a remotely peaceful foreign policy.

I'm saying you think like a 3rd grader. Or Gandhi. Like in order to be value peace you have to eschew any form of conflict. This is why you specifically told me you weren't talking about whether specific things that US governments have done were just actions or not. You specifically said you weren't interested in talking about that. As though the only way to be able to claim you value peace is to personally never fight. That's what I mean by dogmatic pacifism. Whether in your personal life, you see someone beating someone else up and don't interfere, or in the world a regime genocides an ethnic minority and you blame the imperialists for enforcing a no-fly zone. This is not a virtue.

"Who on Earth would consider Rome a peaceful nation? You have by far the biggest army in the world, you have been literally in constant war with dozens of different countries for the past 500 fucking years." - Trollus Baalimus, 50 AD

The only real wars of aggression the US was involved in were everything to do with the Indians, Vietnam (we've been over this before), and probably something to do with the Mexican border, but I'm guessing you're glad Texas isn't part of Mexico.

Remember the first war the US was involved in, the Barbary wars? When coincidentally Muslims were enslaving sailors? I wonder if they were just defending themselves because someone killed their mothers, because we didn't withdraw from the region. What presence did the US have in North Africa in 1800? I forget. There was the War of Secession, but maybe you think letting the Confederacy have slavery was a better idea? There was WW1 - is this where you say America created Hitler? I am so waiting for you to say that America created Hitler while trying to hold up the facade that you don't have an irrational anti-American sentiment. And let's not forget WW2, when the US conducted a surprise attack on Japanese torpedoes with its battleships and then declared war on Germany, and then used blitzkrieg to invade those peaceful countries while committing genocide along the way. It's such a warmongering country, right? I'm being facetious of course. The real demonstration of US imperialism came in Korea, when the armies of imperialist white pigs interfered with the peaceful attempt of the communist armies of the North to invade and take over the South as is their natural right to self-determination.

First of all that piranha analogy is one of the worsts Ive read in my life... what in the actual fuck was that.

Im saying that the US intervention in the zone, by direct conflict and the CIA toppling regimes etc creates a sentiment that greatly helps terrorism, unlike dumb liberals I dont say its the ONLY reason and Islam is great, and unlike dumb conservatives I dont think military action is great and Islam is the root of all evil.

Also at no point I endorsed building any wall, you are probably confusing me with Traxamillions lol, I said to withdraw troops from the region and stop the CIA from fucking around with their governments.


My position on peace isnt dogmatic I never said to never fight, I am absolutely ok with self defense and the defense of allies which isnt what is going on, the US military presence in the middle east has nothing to do with defense but political and economical reasons, you are smart enough to know that the reasons these military actions are conducted arent humanitarian so stop arguing from that point.

And before you mention that Saudi Arabia is an ally (ironically the most radical muslims state) and that you were defending it in the Gulf war I am aware of this, you specifically asked of what where the US doing prior to 9/11 and I listed all the conflicts in the region that generated hatred enough to create that attack, and as you can see its a loooooooooooooooooooong list with most things having absolutely nothing to do with self defense.

  We're at a point in history where we pretty well know there's only one type of system that can create a working, peaceful nation in the long run.


Are we?
Did we find and were able to apply a utopia ?
Damn, we humans are the best.
Lol @ Japanese Empire statement, the war was over, Japan would've maybe succeeded surviving for another year or two tops before giving up, much fewer lives would've been sacrificed and a whole region would be able to use. All of your military personnel that matters and scientist agree that Japan had NO way of escaping defeat nor inflicting damage on anyone else, but themselves

Anyways I get your points of view, however you simply ignore so many factors to put your views in a rational shape it hurts my brain. Let's say you are correct on everything, how do you expect arabs to take democracy and our way of thought in an instant after seeing how their families were bombed and so on and so on. Intervention is a problem because it creates hatred, hatred is easily passed on to next generations. In order to succeed you'd have to stay there for decades and create a really strong propaganda, which lets say is for the benefit of the world, would you think even a country like the USA would do? Invest so many resources for a longshot? You don't change a whole culture in a day, it takes decades at the very best, so whats the alternative ? Kill them all? You could simply NOT intervene and create a set of solid rules, ignoring liberal wings, that's something that could work in my opinion. Don't bomb the shit out of them, but do respond appropriately to given actions.
As the politics ran so far werent a response, but an initiation, which is the problem.

The only thing I trust less than the government is when people are left alone to rule themselves
Governments suck sure, but people forget why civilizations eventually gravitated towards government rule, life sucked so bad before when nobody was in charge, shit was just too unstable. We complain about a lot of bullshit now but it's really just the distribution of resources which nobody will ever get perfect, most especially when people go in smaller separate groups and start fucking each other's shit up

errrmmm no.

Early forms of governments happened through violence, the strongest caveman rose to power bashing the skulls of his peers, then later on peaceful societies like a town of fishermen were easily conquered through history by empires, the US isnt a state because the native americans thought "fuck this nomad life following Bisons around", it was because an anglo-saxon empire with better technology massacred them.


Its illogical to believe, we as flawed humans are so selfish that cant live in small grups because we fuck with each others shit, yet believe that if we give all the power to one group of flawed humans, that they wont fuck everybodys shit up.

That's just not what I said at all so I don't need to rebut this. I specifically said "working" instead of using idealistic language like "utopia" because there's no such thing and I live in the real world.

This is possibly the single most contentious and interesting question in history, and going "Lol @" for 2 lines doesn't inform the argument. We probably aren't going to agree.

Like I alluded to, it's vital we educate and secularize people who actually emigrate to the West, both for the sake of Western civilization (so there isn't a 2-5-10% segment of the population that's making isolated microcosms of the Muslim world in liberal countries. That means things like banning faith schools [right now liberals don't want to ban faith schools because durr multiculturalism and conservatives don't want to ban faith schools because they don't want to give up their own], strong programs for education, including adult education. Real social programs, not just handing out welfare. And for that to work you first of all need to curb and undo the recent wave of mass economic migration which nobody was prepared to handle.) and for the sake of countries in the Muslim world where reason can seep into. I would want to consider banning freestanding private mosques also. Niqab bans on the lines of France/Turkey are worth thinking about.

We don't bomb the shit out of "them" anyway. Muslims regularly and largely get killed by other Muslims. If we followed your logic, then with or without "us," the civility (or whatever word you want to substitute) of whatever society would be nonincreasing. Obviously you can't build Rome in a day. And obviously "kill them all" is not an alternative.

What are you talking about when you say create a "set of solid rules" and not intervene? Can you flesh that out with a specific country (if not today, at some point in recent decades) as an example? That would be good to take a look at.

Let me guess, you can't even begin to explain what's wrong with it?

I'm glad everyone appreciated it, but the point is piranhas aren't the point of the analogy. I'm sure Baal read it and thought nothing more than "piranhas must be a slur for Arabs because Santafairy obviously thinks brown people are savages." Let me explain with another analogy, because you need to understand the logical point I'm making even if you disagree on interpreting different amounts of intervention or "meddling" as lots or not a lot.

Imagine you had cancer. Imagine also you're also a huge fan of alternative medicine. So you visit a homeopath. He says garlic homeopathy is the cure to nasopharyngeal cancer, which you have. Your significant other suggests getting advanced imaging at a real doctor also. You drink the homeopathic garlic water and go back to the doctor also and there's no improvement. So you go to the quack and tell him there was no improvement. Then he tells you the problem was the water you drank wasn't diluted enough. That it must have still had 1% as much garlic in it. And that's why it didn't work. Because you have to dilute it to 0% garlic exactly. And unless you do that perfectly, it won't work. And he will also tell you that chemotherapy makes cancer worse.

Do you understand the point? You're asking me to believe that militant Islam would be totally nonviolent except that the US fired some cruise missiles at peaceful terrorist camps in 1998. The evidence is historical. Would you not agree we've done more lately than we did in the 90s? But we haven't had another 9/11.

Nobody in this thread endorsed genocide either, asshole. That's why your false dichotomy got thrown out. There is no way, even as a thought experiment, to cut off the Muslim world from the Western.

Yes, you literally just said you had no problem with the defense of allies. And now you're saying it doesn't matter what we do, because even if it's justified, it's too triggering to fanatics so we should try to appease them.

Anyway - *raises hand* - it doesn't really matter whether Saudi Arabia or Kuwait is someone's ally or not. The point is it's bad to let fascist countries invade their neighbors.

Why don't you give us a hypothetical situation in which you support some form of military intervention? It doesn't have to be the occupation of a country. I just want to know under what circumstances, no talking in circles, you think firing at least one bullet is allowed.

Yoiu think everybody laughed about the piranha analogy for no reason? we laughed at it because its absolutely stupid.

Also your analogy of medicine is wrong because you are assuming "peace" is the hoax, what if you reverse it and peace was chemo, and you are simply advocating for different concentrations and forms of homeopathy as intervention policies?

Also that graph makes no sense, you make a line graph when X value has a constant increment and Y is a variable, when both are variables and you input them you should use a dispersion graph but I kind of understand what that graph is supposed to mean, and of course direct terrorism does not correspond directly to the intervention "amount" in that second, its a social process, if you obliterate a muslim country today you dont get instant counterattacks, it takes times for terrorist cells to be formed, grow, train people, conduct a plan etc and since 9/11 intervention has been really high and we can say that terrorism hasnt gone down and most terrorist cells like Al Quaeda are bigger than they were in 9/11.


 
"You are smart enough to know I'm right so stop disagreeing."



So are you saying that you honestly believe the the US foreign policy, afghanistan and Iraq war, the CIA coups, drone strikes etc are done for humanitarian reasons and not economical and political reasons?


And you already asked and I answered before, a good reason to "fire a bullet" is for self defense
