The only radical thing Hasan does is fart on planes

Remember when Hasan said the US deserved 9/11?
assistant
He was right
user
Thats not radical at all... if you guys truly think that acts of terrorism are excusable regardless of the context, you are just as bad as right-wingers to me.

If your so angry about the terrorist act that happen during 9/11 why don't you get angry at the US government for involving themselves in the middle east just to give Soviets their own Vietnam

You should be mad at the US government for fucking around and finding out, it all starts with them, and the deaths and blood of US citizens is on their hands
user
Weird idea here but, why not be against both? The US really fucked up. The terrorists really fucked up. But you guys, for whatever reason, think that its alright to kill innocent people.
assistant
You say context doesn't matter but it seems like for you it does matter but try to act like it doesnt

No one is alright with killing innocent people, Hasan wasn't even referring to the people dying he was talking about the government getting blowback for their actions

And that's the problem, when you hear America deserve 9/11 you instantly think they are talking about people, in your mind you instantly establish a connection between the country and its citizens instead of it being the government, majority of the time people aren't even in support for the atrocities that the US government does in other countries, for example the Vietnam War or even the genocide that is going on to Palestinians right now, when you go to another country and you tell them your american or live in the US people will instantly think you support that your government is purposely starving people in Afghan by strangling their economy, of course your not gonna support that shit but your making it seem like the people and the government align with each other

Now when your talking about post-9/11 war of course people are gonna be bloodthirsty for revenge, but its not because people are monsters its because people were angry and fearful which is understandable, the thing is though is the US government was feeding people into that fear to garner all that support and give themselves the okay to go into Afghan and try and dry up their resources and also dry up all the oil fields all while the government decided to feed people into that fear, resentment, anger, and vengeance they had because they knew how angry the people were back then but now people see it as a horrible event, just like people see Vietnam as a horrible event and eventually people will see the current genocide as a horrible event, at least the people who support Israel will

By saying a country deserved a terrorist attack, it absolutely means that they deserve the results of a terrorist attack. That result was innocent people dying. It's not something that can be cherry picked and to do so is completely disingenuous. Anyone who thinks that any country deserves a terrorist attack while saying they are anti hate is 100% a hypocrite.
