Being specific means the malcontents will simply adjust their language.

No longer will it be, “get out there with your battle rifles and let the blood of the infidel run free” but it will become, “let loose your holy Christmas candy and witness the tears of the spoilt children of the Left!”

There’s no death threat or incitement to violence there.

Ha! It means all the people that jumped at the chance to exercise their authoritarian fantasies and destroy peoples' lives get to escape any consequences for their actions.

That's gonna be a hard no from me.


> We shall kill those who affront our Prophet and we shall bind explosives with our bodies and the bodies of our children to blow away the ranks of those who dare to dishonor our Prophet...

That's right, you ignorant shitfountains. Keep the cycle of violence going. Stoke the flames of hatred ever higher. What could possibly go wrong?


They're going to take their discourse elsewhere. Best to just skip the whack a mole and put them in camps.

What happens? The real targets stop using normal language, and start communicating in code. Replace "guns" with (say) "flour". Replace "ammo" with "fruits". etc. etc.

And the innocent folks' dirty laundry will be archived for future retrieval.


Hah! I've never actually heard that joke but it's a good one.

And yes, that is definitely what they'll do - every time something major happens in our society I've observed the mass media following the playbook from Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" almost exactly.

That being said, every "big event" is an opportunity for mass radicalization of the working class and these "big events" are happening more and more often. It's like the quote from the IRA: "We only have to be lucky once. You will have to be lucky always".


I guess they're also putting out tenders to sharpen the guillotines.

We'll see a lot of sock and meat puppets from the central panopticon playing in this discussion. They'll say how normal this is, nothing to worry about and insult those who are worried. Watch them, it's quite amusing.


I'll be interested in whether the let ISIS-sympathizers and KKK-style white supremacists in, in the name of free speech and the right to offend. That should certainly make for an explosive combination.

Send all of the middle east into meltdown, as militants foment biblical anarchy, engage in AK-47 raids, snipe tanks with RPG attacks and indirect fire, and oh right, the beheadings, but woah, woah, woah.

Trumpy say pee pee and poo poo, and that's a no no.


Selling them weapons and giving them a pass on murdering journalists seems to be giving them the message that they can carry on.

Nah, they'll just say that an attack has to be carefully crafted, and that will lull everyone to sleep.

Go ahead and say that quiet part louder: You hope that US Army snipers are trained to shoot protestors.

Yeah, it's entirely likely the COs won't let it through (for "violence/war"), although they're more likely to let it through because it's somewhat patriotic/pro-US.

OTOH, I'm confident weev will find a way to troll with any means provided.

I also sent him a Holy Qur'an (with English translation/explanations), which I am sure will result in substantial lulz. (although if I were unjustly locked in prison, the Qur'an would probably be on my reading list anyway...)


I wonder how they’ll deal with the genocide of billions of people that followed in his trail. Since they’ve already changed the Jihad parts I’m guessing they’ll skip over that too.

Do you know what the best predictor of future behavior is? They're acting all nice and friendly right now, wasn't always like that and there's no reason to assume it always will be. Even the catholic church is pretty chill these days, but give them enough power and they'll have people burning at stakes in no time.

But those simpletons will then not assign blame to the new overlord or to themselves. The culprits will be immigrants, jews, muslims, environmental activists, journalists or whatever they don't like.

Thanks. Now Glenn Beck's gonna have "Call of Duty" up on his blackboard screaming "Islamic terrorists groups are now recruiting American children!"

Yes, and while others are theoretically claiming this is not bad, attackers will change their tactics. Like groups that fire rockets from schools, they will anticipate over-arching revenge tactics and use them to their advantage.

Wouldn't it make sense that they would 'covet' permission to destroy the object of their hatred year round?

This is sooo going to be weaponized.
