Could China’s approach be done better? Almost certainly. Is it the most humane response to extremism we’ve seen so far? That’s for you to decide.

The American South is a region filled with religious extremists, some of whom have already radicalized to the point of committing acts of terrorism. Should we make it its own country and fund their schools to boot? Is that likely to improve the situation or make it worse?

Occupying territories which do not want to be occupied is imperialism.

Is the U.S. occupying Mississippi and Alabama?

Of Christian extremists in Alabama??

So the plan is to slice up your country knowing that a civil war is likely in the breakaway state? This is getting better and better.

Real “I was researching this story for a year and he just…tweeted it out” energy

This might upset all you libs in here, but when bad things happen to bad people, some might call that justice.

Wishing bad things happen to bad people is OK

seeing you get all worked up about such a benign topic

This ain’t it

Why would you ever draw Muhammad? About the only reason anyone ever does is in an attempt to deeply insult an enormous number of people. That kind of “fuck you I do what I want” mentality doesn’t garner much sympathy from me. Having a reasonable amount of respect for your fellow human beings (i.e., not doing something you would never otherwise do specifically to piss them off) is something we need more of.

Yeah, you’re free to yell the N-word at the top of your lungs in public. Yeah, if a black person decides to beat you to death for it they’re in the wrong, too. But my sympathy for you in that situation is limited because maybe you shouldn’t be an absolute piece of shit just because you technically can.
