Jalapeno 533 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Wonder if that guy who blew himself up in his RV in Nashville was radicalized by Q’Anon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glduck 2,405 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I’m assuming the silence from the right on this is because they’re waiting to see if it’s one of theirs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orange 1,937 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Fox News spent the entire morning on the bombing, including bringing in some country music douche to rant on about how "they won't keep us in our houses with their terror", and frame it as a war on xmas and freedom (the official right-wing reaction of "I don't want to think hard about this"). lol, uno reverse card, bitch.

This ain't hard to understand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The remarks in there about how "special operations" forces are highly intelligent, and therefore we shouldn't conflate education and intelligence with a bulwark against fantasy, is a little specious to me. You can be "highly intelligent" within your trade, but that doesn't make you less vulnerable to bullshit. This is my problem with people who shit all over liberal arts education. That form of critical thinking is the best inoculation against horseshit, because it focuses on history, and philosophy, and human nature. Being physically fit, able to blow shit up, plan a raid, etc., just isn't the same kind of inoculation. If anything, it fans the flames of ignorance and makes these guys seek out glory after the war (like the author said). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
