Well, this should be used as evidence that you can't negotiate with fanatics
and man that quote is just the beginning, it gets worse
dude some of this is fucking insane, a story about a dream a guy had of detonating himself and his friend being like "yo pick up his head to see if he's smiling"
I remember Sargs used an issue of the mag in one of his videos
Looked pretty schmick
Yup
jihadology

is the website to go to to get analysis on ISIS

funnily enough
so this is a interesting concept
the best thought on it is the book starship troopers

service earns citizenship
Earning the right to vote seems fishy to me
when the state gets to decide who votes on totally obligatory criteria then it is no longer a democracy
plus the whole concept of representetive democracy goes down the toilet
If you cant vote you arent represented
Well nobody was saying the government would decide who gets to vote.
You're making a straw man, friend.
And franti, we already have certain restrictions on voting.
To say 'if you can't vote you aren't represented' misses the point of the representation. The vote doesn't represent you, politicians do.
At least, that's the hope.
So even if you can vote, that doesn't mean your personal interestes are represented. In fact no one's interests are represented 100% of the time.
To be clear Radeon, the US isn't a democracy. It's a constitutional republic.
Direct democracy is basically mob rule and it's a horrible way to do just about anything.
At least of a bureaucratic nature.
i'm against literally all voting restrictions for what its worth
so long as youre a citizen ofc
age limits?
well that too
naturally
what if someone is a terrorist? should there be systems in place to prevent them from voting?
are there enough terrorists to matter? who gets to decide what is terrorism and what isnt?
Terrorism is political violence
