This post is wrong for obvious reasons, but it's a good point that it goes both ways: drone strikes create anti-western sentiment, and Muslim terrorist attacks create anti-Muslim sentiment.
- smhost 7y agoyes, they're mutually reinforcing. in a perverse way, u.s. drone strikes are good for terrorist organizations, and terrorist attacks are good for major stakeholders of military capital. that's why you will see some perverts who will openly reminisce about the days after 9/11 and how we were all united, etc. at some point, cooler heads should intervene, but fear is just too easy to engineer, apparently.
- Smithalicious 7y agoReminds me of how two rappers (or youtubers or what will you) who have "beef" both benefit in the end (assuming they don't get shot)
