empire or whatever, sure, it fits.
perhaps that entity was right I cannot communicate? I'm asking ppl to view it in the lens of AVERAGE AMERICAN. Not you. Not me. If we are average, we are not in this forum nor capable of holding these concepts in context.
We MUST do the above. In that light, does avg person know or even want to know what is factions of Islam? They barely (if at all) know the difference between catholics or jerry fallwell. We are talking about demographics of regions avg american cannot locate on a map, do not care to, do not know any customs of world nations, and the hugeism of life is The Big City is - in the form of Atlanta or Denver when they went to Planet Hollywood. Those people didn't even make it to Las Vegas.
I must stop because the derogatory nature I make is only funny. I am not judging those people, I think the more we shove THOSE people out of the car, we lose our way, we can no longer relate to "reality" of every day life in America. If we think ourselves above average, that means there is a whole set of people on the other side of that "sphere" from us ----- as in, above equator, below it. Not "dumb and smart".
And think of that.... people like us are above avg in knowledge/understanding and we still disagree vastly and argue or have differing opinions. Now put yourself in their place and get upset when they see fire, hear the word of a country THEY associate with terror (not because they did some probe but because higher individuals have told them a story) and then line up behind an IDIOT to start a war because America Heart-Strings & Reasons and hands on hearts and flowing flags combined with familial military service going back sometimes generations.
It wasn't that hard to start War before...... 911 updated that ease into the digital age the same way I watched Infinity War in a theater and then went home to download it the same day. 911 made it possible for America (but not anyone else!) to attack almost any region of the globe or atmosphere (latter is better) simply because we said we have "evidence" of apocalyptic threat which needed to be stopped.
The only thing missing at that point is the tangible proof in the form of either wreckage, people and weapons, and/or INTENTION TO BE HOSTILE and to connect those elements - no matter how shabbily - to some national entity somewhere on the globe.
(((Can we be upset with ppl when they don't know these things? It would be better to BE them. To not know any of this. I'll have some of that bliss)))
So... to summarize. Would you like the red pill or the blue pill ?
I prefer to be red pilled. Methinks most of the USA likes the blue pill.
