    Fighting for the oppressed and rooting for the little guy is a jungian archetype. Whether it’s the Robin Hood or N’avi it’s always easier to romanticize the rebels.

    The best fiction though considers the dark side and complications of that. For example in the Expanse. The Belters are the oppressed people who are economically exploited and even massacred by Earth and Mars. When a Belter leader rises up one of his first acts is mass murder killing billions through asymmetric means.

    The reality of most rebellions is that they usually aren’t clean battles of plucky rebels battling massive imperial war machines but “terrorists” attacking “soft targets”. Those soft targets are almost inevitably going to be either civilian targets or targets with a lot of civilians.

    Also the founding of Israel was by groups who were considered terrorists by the British. Those groups also fought asymmetrically including killing civilians.

    Sometimes ignorance is bliss when you’re genuinely this dumb, and an extremely emotional and sensitive man ..lmao

    I have no idea who this is nor have a I seen anything in local news about it. Not saying it didn't happen but I don't think it is nearly as serious as being portrayed or if Zach Metzger is someone who has any political clout and not just some fringe candidate.

    It was three militias that eventually created the IDF. Ya they were recognized as terrorist organizations to the Brits and Arabs.

    Germany just announced they are going to start deporting people much more quickly that are society disrupters - the rest of Westen Europe and the USA should follow suite.

    If you come to a country seeking assylum and you don't assimilate or you disrupt that society, you should be sent back - IMHO, you have no right to protest anything in a new country until you have earned citizenship....and would like to see that implemented as a change to our constitution.

    If you want to come here and live peacefully, and become a citizen - great, if you want to come here and disrupt things, back you go.

    Why do people like you exist. As I've said @davidio840 @Invisible Fan before I put them on ignore if you don't like someone's post them put on ignore. Nobody gives a **** what you think of someone. Genuinely. You're a nobody to think your opinion matters.

    I don't get why people think people give a fk about what you personally think about them. Put the person you don't like on ignore and move on.

    It is good policy to stop the spread of ignorance that is religion. Particularly one as ****ed up as Islam.

    When is the last time you picked up something on the floor by squatting rather than bending down?

    Was it in the 80s?

    What does "standing up to" a religion I left when I was a teen look like?

    You want me to kill my parents or something? Kick them out of America?

    You didn't answer my question. When was the last time you squatted to pick something up rather than have to bend down?

    If they aren't citizens - and came to this country seeking assylum and are now PROTESTING then yes....

    I would be in favor of a constitutional amendment or a change in law that says you can stay here and integrate, but if you come into this country, seeking assylum - and disrupt society, you should not have that right until you are a citizen....yep..

    I don't know your situation, nor do I honestly care - if you are here in this country and getting the benefit it provides while trying to disrupt it, you shouldn't be here.

    You didn't answer my question, when is the last time you were not an asshat?

    Islam is the most dangerous movement to democracy since the Pope had an army.

    That's all you got? I mean? Really - you sure talk about my penis a lot, maybe you should seek help.

    Kick out anyone in this country that has not earned citizenship if they are protesting against it.
