COMPARE THESE TWO ARGUMENTS
"Islam endorses war (jihad) to impose its law (Sharia) across the world. Therefore, Islam approves of killing people across the world. Muslims are dangerous - your Muslim neighbour literally wants to knife your little daughter and then blow up the local McDonalds."
"Liberalism endorses war (e.g., colonialism, humanitarian intervention, military occupation) to impose its law (international human rights law) across the world. Therefore liberalism approves of killing people across the world. Liberals are dangerous - your liberal neighbour literally wants to knife your little daughter and then blow up the local mosque."
Why do so many idiots find the first argument logical and compelling, while they find the second argument illogical and absurd? Are both arguments illogical and absurd?
Do you want to know why the US is broken and subject to an increasingly totalitarian surveillance regime? It is because the American people allowed themselves to be duped by absurd arguments into endorsing the "Global War on Terrorism" - spending 8 trillion dollars and agreeing to give the government unlimited surveillance/policing powers in the name of "fighting terrorism/extremism" as characterized by the first argument above.
Once you recognise that people are not playing the same rules as you are the second you become free of their programming.
Ww2 the allies were taught to be the good guys who fought for good morals and the axis evils who wanted to take our freedoms away. However when you read through history in an unbiased way you realise both sides were evil.
Every major successful political ideology/religion has used violence and manipulation to get the success it has had today.

Even the most liberal hippy types if they gained power they would use violence to keep the status quo.
Just take a look at what the Buddhists are doing to Muslims in Myanmar. The same people we were programmed from young to think were pacifist spiritual types.
Very rarely has words alone simply changed the world.
Feds if youβre reading this Iβm not condoning violence or anything of the sort. This is just a political analysis
