If these same terrorists that aren't a big threat to you right now might get their hands on a better technology of warfare suddenly you'd have a significantly increased fear of terrorism. Just goes to show you didn't think it through. This is why we're more afraid of terrorists than other societal dangers, apart from the fact that fucking savages shoot masses of people in the civilised world every month or so.
This board man, I've never before seen so many regressives in one place.
It doesn't even take very advanced technology as witnessed by the massacre in Nice. The way I see it, when Germany and Imperial Japan were totally humiliated by Allies their respective ideologies where also effectively discredited. Sure there are a few neo-Nazi, white supremacy losers smoking in their mom's basements, but despite their delusions of grandeur they are common criminals. They inspire no one. The same with Islamic terror. Until the jihadi rhetoric and the ideology of Islamic supremacy is thoroughly discredited we'll be playing wack-a-mole with pychos that the larger movement exploits.
I've heard it from intelligent sources before that the religious of the West have this issue right more often than anyone else. I've never seen it first-hand though, so it's definitely something to see.
I guess you guys just know they mean business and don't fuck around - you're the only ones equipped with the kind of knowledge to be able to understand this fact innately.
