This was an important lesson for them, obviously. "Just stick to brutally killing men. Noone cares about the men."

2018-01-22 22:54:58 UTC  

"They light them on fire."

Oh.

2018-01-22 22:55:43 UTC  

This got dark, didn't it? lol

2018-01-22 23:08:16 UTC  

I mean, hey, the darker parts of Islamist groups need to be showcased. Not enough light is being shed on it, because people are afraid of offending Muslims. If only they'd get on board with Muslim reformation, and see the current religion as it truly is. So many people are a prisoner of that faith, afraid to speak out, or run from their oppressors. That and pile onto that the fact many people have only known Islam. So when you have the atrocities on one hand, and basically all you've ever known on another, things tend to become muddled. Whereas, in other peoples' cases, they've been on the outside, looking in, seeing the problems rising from Islamic extremism.

The media is, in a sense, making peoples' chances of escape from actual maniacs that much harder by refusing to attribute the radical Islamist tag on pretty much any act of terrorism. And then there's the reality of them straight-up ignoring some attacks. A lot of attacks, actually. I have to actually look up the terrorist attacks in Europe. You'd think something like that would be top news. People are dying, and yet still, so many are willing to turn a blind eye. The literally only thing that they are accomplishing is further entrenching good people within their own prison. The prison that they, in the majority of cases, were born into.

And it's giving really shitty people free reign. It somewhat reminds me of the recruitment process of _actual_ white nationalists. Not this _blanket statement_ made up by many left-leaning individuals, who use it to discredit and defame their ideological and opinionated opponents. Basically, stories have been going around where (actual) white nationalists and skinheads have been recruiting kids and others at a young age who have been discarded by society. And what becomes of this is a sort of _"what if" situation. What _if_ these kids hadn't been manipulated and warped into someone else's twisted image at such a young age? Would they have been good people if they hadn't been thrown away so easily?

2018-01-22 23:08:21 UTC  

That's why I'm for Islamic reformation. _Technically,_ it makes little to no sense in one regard. Faith is about believing in something blindly, not changing what you have faith in. So it's kind of stupid on that front. Otherwise, why did you ever have faith to begin with if you were just going to change it? But on another more important side of things, Islam isn't going to go away. So the best chance the world has to step in the right direction is Islamic reformation, where the Qu'ran is revisted and revised to better fit a more peaceful and less barbaric way of life.

Oh. My bad.

2018-01-22 23:09:44 UTC  

Let’s just say if Islam is the religion of peace than I really don’t want to know what the religion of war is.

This is compounded by the fact that many, about half (probably more) of the incoming migrants and refugees are completely illiterate in their own language.

2018-01-22 23:10:28 UTC  

@CreativeRealms the argument is that they are peaceful when islam is supreme

2018-01-22 23:11:28 UTC  

I am Supreme.

2018-01-22 23:12:15 UTC  

I have to chuckle whenever I see a feminist supporting Islam as a whole while literally being willfully ignorant and blind to the many shortcomings it possesses. Like, you'd literally have to _actively_ avoid and purposefully forget, or not believe no matter what, details here and there that challenge your position.

2018-01-22 23:12:21 UTC  

Sounds like a full-time job imo

2018-01-22 23:12:54 UTC  

When people get obssesed with identity politics, it can lead to them having some pretty contradictory views.

2018-01-22 23:13:05 UTC  

It's why I don't really identify as anything politically wise.

2018-01-22 23:13:22 UTC  

Yeah, I never got around to figuring out what I even am

2018-01-22 23:13:37 UTC  

I guess I just saw it as a waste of time

2018-01-22 23:14:37 UTC  

I've only ever taken the political compass test, for the most part, and a couple of other online tests.

2018-01-22 23:14:54 UTC  

Taking the compass test two years in a row as put me in the exact same spot each time.

2018-01-22 23:15:06 UTC  

With a very minor shift.

2018-01-22 23:15:08 UTC  

ISideWith is the most accurate in my opinion.

2018-01-22 23:15:20 UTC  

I side with my ignorance

2018-01-22 23:15:25 UTC  

I don't like that one, actually.

2018-01-22 23:15:44 UTC  

It’s the only one that put me as republican.

2018-01-22 23:16:08 UTC  

Not only is it longer than I care for, but many of the questions either don't have an answer that I actually agree with, or are worded in such a way where I feel compelled to answer in one way or another without actually agreeing with that answer.

2018-01-22 23:16:16 UTC  

Political compass had me at extreme centrist.

2018-01-22 23:16:51 UTC  

In the end, whatever I am, I'd rather take a middle stance despite my beliefs, so as to create a platform upon which I can act as liason between the right and the left. To act as a voice of reason, and compromise. Fighting like this has really taken its toll, and anyone should be able to see what it's been doing to the current political sphere.

2018-01-22 23:17:00 UTC  

kek same. Almost dead center according to online political tests (because we all know those are super accurate)

2018-01-22 23:17:07 UTC  

I'd rather people in general just start working together

2018-01-22 23:17:07 UTC  

but

2018-01-22 23:17:11 UTC

2018-01-22 23:17:45 UTC  

Humans are pretty irrational beings a lot of the time

2018-01-22 23:18:11 UTC  

I have my right wing bias but I can understand why the left and extreme right think the way they do so it’s easy to debate them.

2018-01-22 23:18:21 UTC  

I wish people had more patience with eachother.

2018-01-22 23:18:25 UTC

2018-01-22 23:19:28 UTC  

Nowadays, it seems people are less willing to clash opinions towards the goal of _personal_ growth, and instead, go for a more _targeted_ approach. They'd much rather use people as sponges to absorb their ideologies, and dummies to yell at to feel superior.

2018-01-22 23:19:57 UTC  

When those sponges and dummies yell back, they don't know what to do except continue yelling

2018-01-22 23:20:02 UTC  

and it goes on and on and on and on

2018-01-22 23:20:40 UTC  

The cycle of ideological and moral idiocy.

2018-01-22 23:20:42 UTC  

Yeah I like debating anyone to improve my own views by either strengthening them or adapting them to encompass new facts.
