Lets hope it works out as well for Trump and the USA as it did for the last guy to make the claim.

I don't think that photo is the creepy thing, the creepy thing is the justification for violence.

Yeesh, civil religion and organized religion are plenty sinister and cultish alone, there's no need to combine the two. Can the american empire just fucking collapse already?

Trump knows for a fact that the Evangelical voterbase support is what he needs.

I think it's important that we don't confuse the Iranian general for some kind of comrade. He was an evil man.

Evil men killing evil men and dragging everyone else along with them. No one is calling any of these statist tools comrades.

It should still be said because a lot of folk confuse the left's anti-imperialism with support for terrorism.

Agreed. But I think is bizarre how very few people use the term religious fanatic terroists in relation to the US.

Well a terrorist typically means some one who isn't affiliated with a state. Someone acting outside the state apparatus. There aren't really any US citizens committing acts of terror on foreign soil without the support of the US military.

You used the word terrorist and then said typically not state affiliated. An Iranian General is totally state affiliated, so I'm just curious as to why the term terrorist gets thrown at one but not the other despite contradictory information.

But I didn't call him a terrorist, I called him an evil man.

I was speaking of the way we condemn the military for its activity in the Middle East (to defeat ISIS.)

Fuck the military. Just WILLINGpawns to help line the pockets of oligarchs. It's thanks to military action that extremism has grown.
