Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.
i like to think that somewhere out there a member of ISIS is having a spirited debate over the relative merits of Linux with a Norwegian sperg

engineers are disproportionately likely to be terrorists, so it probably happens all the time. after trying to get sound working on Linux, wanting to murder everyone is not surprising.

i acnt remember where i read the article or what it was even about but there was a mention of islamic extremists are mostly young males who are underemployed, underachieving, have a poor cultural background and who have a chip on their shoulder

basically the same type of people that become lone gunmen

is that really surprising? young dudes who are angry at their socioeconomic status trend towards violence. if a terrorist group, gang or the police offers them stability and the power to strike back against their perceived economic inferiority they'll take it

the reason a suicide bomber blows himself up is never the same as the reason his handlers want him to do it

theories vary on how people become islamic extremists but one thing all they seem to agree on is that it has nothing to do with islam.
