  2. +Matin R I hope he doesn't turn into a passive aggressive doormat for right like Dave Rubin either. Never go full Rubin unless you're ordering a sandwich.

  3. +JennStiltskin You must be dreaming, talking about context culture and ideology are all deemed regressive, therefore thought crime.

  4. +Atheist99 So your response to "ISIS was created as a result of American and British imperialism in Iraq." is that Islamism is a 20th century product of imperialism and global capitalism. That is absolutely correct which means it is the thought crime of regressivism.

  5. Atheist99 A lot of "foreign aid" and intelligence operations used the Saudis as middle men for a long time.

  6. Atheist99 There is no such thing as a humanitarian coup d'etat. Violence, insecurity, uncertainty and violation of national sovereignty weaken democracy and human rights, they don't strengthen them.The fact you consider that "weak" and anything less than total war to be total surrender shows you are a thuggish authoritarian more than anything.

  7. Atheist99 If you have to go back 80 years, you're clearly reaching. Besides, bullets and bombs didn't make Germany and Japan into successful democracies, the Marshall plan did.

  8. Atheist99 There is no regressive side, because the "regressive side" is an invention of the right. It is propaganda designed to make you angry, and make you think like an authoritarian simpleton. And sure enough you want to bomb the hell out of the middle east as punishment for... something.  Simply put there is not easy instantaneous answer to terrorism. The best solution is law enforcement, limited intervention only in extreme circumstances like ISIS, ending the vast majority of intervention and support for regimes that fuel the problem like Saudi Arabia, and working to redress grievances through civil and diplomatic means.

  10. Atheist99 ISIS getting their hands on weapons of mass destruction is very unlikely, and being able to use them against a modern nation is even less likely. ISIS only exists because it can operate in failed states like Syria, Iraq and Libya.
