Exactly. I'm not calling for violence; but it doesn't take psychic to see the path we're on will lead to more violence. What grinds my gears is it seems in the west some heinous act happens and all these groups come out and march and make noise denouncing the perpetrators, Look at New Zealand... that was for 50 people. 300 people lie dead, no calls for sweeping change, no big marches, no Muslim organised rallies denouncing this cowardly attack done in the prophet's name- Just a few tweets, really. This tragedy has a totally different feel.

Until there is some substantive action taken to diffuse the situation this will be the norm. Really these are still the aftershocks of 9/11.

9/11 was the aftershocks of something else, which was the aftershock of yet another thing. It keeps going round and round till some people start lining up at gas chambers and other people wake up to what they have been doing.

For a couple decades, then lather, rinse, repeat. It's what we do.

At its root, its the byproduct of Colonialism and Religion. But the turning point really was the 70's (Munich and Black September) when groups realized they'll get far more through violence than protests. Since then we've seen the up-tick in violence.

Violence takes many forms. Ghandi defined violence as 'forcing your will on another'.

It could be argued that online 'trolling' in that context, is violence. Baiting people into acts of rage, is violence. And as you state, violence produces results.

And around it goes, till people start blowing up churches full of people who did absolutely nothing to anyone.

That's every debate. I wouldn't use the word violent.

For the record, I'm far too lazy to be a violent man. Too much effort.

I'm noticing a lot less posturing finger pointing and chest pounding after this terrorist attack than the one in Christchurch. Why is that?

The "free press" seems kind of stifled too.

Well this does make it difficult to play up the White supremacist/White guilt angle.

That aligns with the chatter I'm hearing that Sri Lanka officially asserts a Pakistani connection at an official level.

Unlikely to lead to a war but very likely to lead to severed diplomatic relations and a civil war against the local Muslim population who were not very popular to begin with what with desecrating everyone else's temples, churches, and etc.

Oh god, please don't let that happen with Groper still in charge here.

I read in the news that this now looks like retaliation for the New Zealand massacre.


Let's watch social media, and even places like here, continue to post their messages of hate and pretend like there aren't real world consequences.

Retaliation? Fuck off. I guess the leftist world didn't hear about or chose to ignore the 100+ people killed in their church by muslim extremists in the Philippines in January of this year. And of course it makes sense to go after Sri Lanka over something that happened in New Zealand.

Let's watch social media, and even places like here, continue to get all self-righteous whenever some islamic shit stain does their shit. "Oh look, it's Whitey's fault".

[PublicAnimalNo9]

Let's see, including Ethiopia, there have been (that I've heard about) well over 400 christians murdered in their churches by muslims this year so far. Compare that to 50 muslims murdered in their mosques by Whitey this year. But THAT's the story the ALT-left and their media lapdogs run with.

It was posted without the quote from a Christian who has first hand seen the disgust Leftists have for Christians in the Middle East. There are many more voices like her who’s points of view are ignored by the Mainstream Media.

You mean the mean old Muslims are operating a backlash against the Christians?

So the Muslims are doing what the feckless fucking media always accuses Christians of doing after every single Muslim attack?

You don't say?

Myself, I just see this as the same old media spin trying to find a way to blame everything on white people, Western Civilization, industrialization/global warming, and Christianity.

And let's be clear, the attack in New Zealand was run by one guy...crazy or not.

This attack in Sri Lanka is a highly orchestrated, well financed, and military style operation.

This is nation-state level operations and, frankly, I doubt that the local ad-hoc Muslim extremist group had much to do with it besides getting blamed for it. They may even be completely innocent and another group or nation is actually behind the whole thing.

I say that because they have utterly no history of running such sophisticated operations.

Lots of bullshit involved in this attack and I doubt that we'll ever hear the real truth now that the media propaganda machine has swung into action to blame whitey.
