My politics are actually very simple: "I don't like it when people get blown up, and if an entity is blowing people up, they should be expected to stop doing that"

"But my religion says I should get to blow people up" I don't believe you. Get right with God
"But they're terrorists/communists/etc and therefore I should get to blow them up" blowing people up is what creates more terrorists, bub
"But I want what they have and I have to blow them up to get to it" at least you're honest, but also, fuck you
Re: "I should get to blow them up because they're terrorists," I am genuinely mystified by how, in 2026, there are still politicians and political scientists and political commentators who STILL think that "blow them up" is an effective way to get rid of terrorists
The harder you blow terrorists up, the harder they will terror. This is like, a law of physics
"They're terrorists, therefore we're going to blow them up" is kind of like "I caught a buggie, so I'm going to obliterate it with antibiotics."
You're going to feel SO good and SO powerful RIGHT AWAY. FUCK YEAH, AMERICA/PENICILLIN! The problem is that you're breeding a stew of antibiotic-resistant superbugs that are going to absolutely wreck your shit down the road.
You have a cold? Rest, drink soup, maybe take some ibuprofen. Put down the abx
