Why the lessons of 9/11 are wasted

‘No one seems aware any longer that there’s such a thing as a hostile external power that poses a graver threat to our existence than in-house systemic racism or micro-aggressions. In the Biden administration, our generals have been fixated not on international threats, or even on getting our troops safely out of Afghanistan, but on rooting out “white [hate] rage” in our own soldiers. Biden himself has encouraged our intelligence community to switch their focus from Islamist terrorism to domestic extremists on the right…..The lessons of 9/11 are wasted on us’ (Lionel Shriver - Telegraph U.K.)

Domestic terrorism is a bigger threat to us than Islamic terrorism at this point.

@QuixoticSoul Indeed. The three years of daily terrorism from BLM, antifa, garden variety criminals, and wannabe anarchists has been pretty serious.

@Oberon1 You can spaz out about blm if you like, but actual domestic terrorism experts know exactly where the real threats are coming from.

@QuixoticSoul Per capita Islamic extremism is not even a major threat even among religious groups. I mean in terms of percentage of their overall number Sikhism has a larger percentage of extremists. Not advocating harassing Sikhs just pointing out even among religious groups Islamic extremists are a pretty small percentage overall.

@QuixoticSoul Leftist propaganda nonsense unless referral is to blm and antifa.

@Strictgram When you call every recent assessment by LEOs under administrations from both parties leftist propaganda - Thats when you know you’ve memed yourself into plain stupid.

@QuixoticSoul The swamp is all encompassing. Will be very hard to drain.

@Strictgram Lol. Because random talking heads on NewsMax are more credible than literally every law enforcement agency in the country and some outside. The Canadian government declared the Proud Boys a terrorist organization. Then again it is the least we could do for creating that monstrosity.

But you are so far gone you want to give the likes of Tim McVeigh a medal.

@Strictgram It also says the quiet part out loud when a civil rights group is part of your definition of "terrorism."

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@Strictgram Imagine the level of delusion necessary to think that one of the most conservative professions in existence, absolutely stuffed to the gills with republicans, is pulling some sort of leftist propaganda narrative on you.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Who might that be rioting, looting, killing blm?

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@Strictgram Nope, that is your camp of insecure right wing males. Very small dick energy.

Speaks volumes that you consider a civil rights group terrorists. Explains alot.

Strictgram · 70-79, C

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow What civil rights group have I called terrorist? Try English.

Oberon1 · 61-69, M

@Strictgram The assertions of these self loathing copraphagics are so ridiculous, it is almost foolish to acknowledge and respond to them. I guess we still do because it is entertaining to some degree, to see how 'over the top' they go with their rhetoric, but when people are this far down the rabbit hole, it is unlikely they will ever listen to reason. So here we are in this endless 'back and forth' trying to teach pigs to sing Bohemian Rhapsody in perfect pitch!

@Oberon1 More projections.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@Oberon1 And your camp are the only ones who have nothing but rhetoric. It is all you have left when you left facts and objective reality behind.

You're killing me George!

@Oberon1 And speaking of copraphagics. I am not the one with his head so far up Trump's ass you are larping the human centipede.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow 😆 You are just too much fun!
