What a shame what the modern-day "left" in America has become. Basically fascists that would love to see their own citizens oppressed constantly, and hate everyone around them.

Doesn't matter if you don't hate them. They hate you, and they want to see you suffer, to make themselves feel better about the fact that they're ignorant hypocritical dumbasses that lost their ability to see reality clearly long ago.

I didn't make a claim lol. I asked a question.

I don't think it's exceptional at all. We see these multiple times a year. ISIS did basically zero attacks within the United States. People like that do dozens a year. If we're measuring risk, the top one wins by a mile.

Man if you would have ventured that way and they had the chance to snatch you the world could have watched your beheading, done by a kid in some cases. Again, as we all know. Shitty comparison is shitty

Just proves my point. I have to "venture that way", i.e. travel thousands of miles and put myself in harms way.

Whereas the top is a risk every time a kid goes to school.

Still a shitty comparison. Just because ISIS didn't get the chance to strike the US the reality is that they killed tons of innocent people and still do btw. If there was a total casualty number on ISIS kills and compared to school shooting casualties everyone would see it's a shitty comparison. Nothing to bring against it.

Actually I just realized, it is a shitty comparison.

ISIS is actually a direct response to the people on the top picture because those are the kinds of people who keep the middle east in a constant state of disarray. In many ways the top is actually responsible for the bottom.

Goes way deeper. Religious fanatics is one thing and will never go away. People are nuts, plenty examples all around the world.

That is an absolutely fucking retarded take.

First of all, the democrats are just as subservient to the military industrial complex as republicans.

Secondly, saying that a random group of citizens are responsible for the middle east as their nation's politicians and military leaders, is false.

Thirdly, one of the reasons Trump won in 2016 was his anti-war stance (even if it wasn't 100% genuine). America's middle class, which include many conservatives, are tired of the war in the middle east and would support a pull-out. It's the entrenched establishment elites that want to keep the forever wars going. Trump could have pulled out from Iraq & Syria completely, and most of his base would have supported this action - while Democrats would have actually supported staying, because they automatically resist anything Trump tries to do, even if it's a good thing.

Fourth, ISIS is a joint CIA-Saudi creation, whom consider them to be useful proxy forces in various middle eastern wars.
