- non-entity 6y agoYeah because those "legions of people" surely haven't done more to erode our freedoms over the past decades than some militants in the thord world.
- formercoder 6y agoThis is similar to the prevention paradox with COVID. We will never know what inaction would have brought.
- x86_64Ubuntu 6y agoNot really. I'm a black person in the US. Historically, the people "threatening" our freedom have always been in the US. It's never been the Soviets, never been the VietCong, never been the Sandinistas, never been Al-Qaeda or anyone the US has chosen to go to war with. As Jay-Z said: "Bin Laden been happening in Manhattan Crack was anthrax back then, back when Police was Al'Qaeda to black men"
