What... the... fuck.
Alright, you all know I hate America's current state, very very much. You all know I've been accused of being a terrorist, being an Asian British-Canadian in the midst of Upstate NY. Hey, and you all know I've studied terrorism since I was ten, know the subject matter well, study religious texts at school as my subject priority, and pretty much flip the fuck out when someone accuses anyone else based on their race of being a terrorist. And you all know, at least, those who lived in NY who asked me to my face what the fuck happened... that I had predicted 9/11 years in advance. And you all know I'm a left centrist (despite being a dedicated socialist, go figure) who really despises any sort of paranoia generated by any sort of extremism.
NOW, with that said... WHAT THE FUCK.
There was recently a post by Hawk of Applegeeks about how someone on the subway thought he was a terrorist. That's fucked. I'm sorry... what, every muslim automatically is a terrorist now? Why doesn't that apply to anyone else? What, there are no white terrorists? Why isn't... say... every Asian man a spy for China? Why isn't every Irish man part of the IRA? Why isn't every black person a Black Panther? Or everyone in the South a goddamned KKK member?
I mean, WHAT THE FUCK.
Futhermore, those who associate Jihad with terrorism are fools. But that's a totally different subject matter.
Now, with the huge paranoia that the States seems to have kicked in recently (THANK GOD I moved back to Canada... unlike that poor Canadian kid that got arrested on terrorism charges) no one seems to recognize that not everyone's a terrorist. Or that their history stems also from similar freedom fighters that killed pretty much every loyalist they came across, and in that they have their own history rooted in terror. Not that I'm justifying terrorism... but their paranoia is just fucking dumb.
Please, for god's sakes! Not every person with a darker skin colour than you is a terrorist! Surely, despite your history, YOU aren't a terrorist, are you? So for fucking chrissakes... CHILLAX!
This message brought to you by the empty Guinness' on my desk and bottled up anger at ignorance.
Now, I don't know who I'll really reach. I only get something like 200 unique visitors a month. But I hope those of you who act in the ways I'm ranting about forgive my rant, and really THINK about what you're doing. I don't want to hear any of that "if it fits the bill" bullcrap.
Seriously guys. What the fuck. I mean, London's my fucking capital, for my British citizen side, and I love the city, and I'll be damned if I'm not pissed about what happened. But this paranoia is STUPID.
