yeah, i would say the muslim terrorists arent the major concern.
i would think the extreme left are more of a concern.
anti-fa look to be the military force of the radical left and the radical left seem to be taking over the universities and the democratic party.
people like hilary and barak were pretty moderate and sought to bring about socialist change slowly.
but the radicals and the activists seem to believe that the capitalist system is rotten to the core and needs to be destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up.
and when i look into the eyes of the anti fa protestors, i see ideological possession.
the left and the right are no longer able to talk to each other and social media is rewarding outrage and extremism.
you can see this in a microcosm on this board.
gweg and the mechanic , for instance , get a lot of feedback for becoming more and more extreme .
and social media rewards outrage and extremeism, thats how you get a hit.
trump cottoned onto this but i think the donald is not possessed. he just uses the medium to his advantage.
but a lot of dumb lefties and a lot of dumb righties are going to become more and more extreme.
we are going to see some acts of terrorism in the west played out by the ultra left and the ultra right will come and play ball.
all in all its a bad scenario.
but if the democrats dont kick the radicals out of their party, they will become possessed.
that will lead to very very dark places.
i think trump will be delighted.
he loves a fight.
he is stirring the hornets nest of leftie lunacy and the moderate liberals are to weak to bring the activists into line
I don't think the IRA qualify as the extreme left, Aquascoot. Greek anarchists maybe,
but are anarchists even of the left?Some say they're cut from the same cloth as libertarians. Friedrich Hayek, for example, was a
conservative anarchist, and he was one of Margaret Thatcher's biggest influences.
I'd say your Muselman is about as reactionary as they come.
You?
i think in western democracies, the anarchists are mainly from the left.
people with antisocial tendencies and with personality disorders dont do well in a western democracy.
and they become bitter and resentful .
they could try to struggle up the "narrow road to success" but its just a lot easier to tear things down then to build slowly and carefully.
the pandering to them by left wing politicians merely fuels their ideology.
and identity politics ensures that there is an ever increasing supply of angry disaffected victims.
its very dangerous.
ask this 70 yo guy who gets detroyed whilst portlands police sit back and watch.
a surreal scenario for 2018 america.
