A Radical Idea

"For Republicans, the moral of the San Bernardino shootings is clear: an excuse to ramp up state violence against Muslims and immigrants.

For Democrats, the moral of the San Bernardino shootings is equally clear: an excuse to ramp up state violence against gun owners and would-be gun owners.

Here’s a radical idea: when you see an act of mass aggression against the innocent, maybe don’t decide that the moral is to imitate it."

  1. I'd hardly call slightly stricter immigration controls 'ramping up violence'.

    Lew Rockwell has an excellent analysis of the immigration issue from a libertarian perspective here:

    1. Maybe, maybe not but you don't think such a ramp up can be used against immigrants who don't tow the government line in regards to US foreign policy?

  2. Islam is a political ideology. What do they believe? Google- Pew Research Muslims and Islam.

  3. When tragedy happens, expect the statists to support state violence against their respective outgroups. Really looking how the Istanbul's bombings are going to be played out here.
