48 0 ReplyI'm just happy they're finally acknowledging that domestic terrorism is a thing, even if its just to avoid looking hypocritical because of Luigi Mangione
45 0 ReplyFinally? Didn't Homeland Security or the FBI come out in the mid 2000s to warn that the most serious terror threat would be the domestic one?
23 0 ReplyAnd that they would be mostly right-wing folks, which has generally been true, in part because the bush administration deprioritized going after them.

18 0 ReplyNone of which happened in most people's local areas. Stop reading national news on a regular basis. Focus on your small little life, your family, your neighborhood, your little area.
Of course when you cast a wide net nationally or globally, there will always be negative things happening, and then if you mainly focus on those events, you'll act as if negative things are the only things.
16 0 ReplyIt didn't happen to me personally, so it's fine! Stop paying attention!!

39 0 ReplyHe's not wrong: if the topic isn't within your circle of control, then worrying over it is just mentally masturbating to disaster porn.
The key is that the advice to ignore such things isn't about advocating for blissful ignorance like you think it is. It's that shrinking your circle of concern frees up your focus to grow your circle of control.
26 0 ReplyStop getting scared by terrorism, a few dozen people is nothing compared to even mundane things like traffic deaths.
5 0 ReplyTherefore I must pay attention to everything? People were not designed to be globally concerned constantly.

6 0 ReplySee what has happened is that the right didn't have any faith in the government, and now the left doesn't either.
So, violent extremism is now the standard. Might Makes Right is the new system for these idiots. The Chinese propaganda is winning, we're killing our own.
6 0 ReplyThe reason we don't have any faith in government is because big corpo bought it because Reagan sold it and convinced both parties to keep it sold ever since.
Since the beginning of civilization, to know who's to blame, you need only look at the richest fucks profiting most from it. The well bribed, revolving door middle managers in DC ain't it.
Tolerance of greed, private shareholders demanding a firesale to goose the next quarter, growth/metastasis at all costs instead of equilibrium, the capital markets are what have destroyed us.

Every stance you extremists claim to care about is on the DNC platform.
