Tell that to nazi germany, who by and large were Social Darwinists who practiced Eugenics to purify a “race”, which in itself was just an idea conjured up by racist colonialism.

In biological terms, there’s only the human “race”, but ask typical folks about race, and they’ll describe skin color variations, as if to differentiate the human species into arbitrary subcategories.

Even though the idea of race hasn’t been clarified in (popular) culture, at least the idea of a single dominating ethnic group (not race) was “beaten” in the last world war.

Before you jump on me for saying it was “beaten”, it’s true that ideas can’t really be beaten, but at least it can be shuttered to controllable obscurity, which is presumably what the U.S. wants.

i.e. – Who are the Nazi’s now? – They are out of touch individuals who fall in line with hateful fringe groups, who’s ideas aren’t taken seriously in popular culture, and who’s members aren’t a serious threat to domestic stability.

i.e. – Who are the radical Islamists now, and how much influence do they have in their predominant regions? They aren’t exactly a fringe group if they can affect global politics, and so that’s what the U.S. is fighting to change, both, for its own domestic security, and for stability with business partners throughout the Middle East. It’s not wrong to make money, is it? I for one am satisfied that here in New York, there hasn’t been another terrorist attack, knock on wood.

The “war on terror” is really an attempt to minimize socio-political influence of radical Islam throughout the Middle East, and not for its eradication. There are still idiots out there who call themselves nazis but who takes them seriously nowadays? Imagine radical Islamists reduced to that kind of limited influence! The world would be a better place, call me naive.

I just wish our politicians had the sense to say it as it is. “Terrorism” is just too vague, because terrorists come from all walks of life, and are motivated in just as diverse a manner as those who practice it.

Unfortunately, as with any war, there are always rules to be bent to get the job done, and subsequently those who take the fall, are those who probably did the most to achieve the goal. I don’t know whether to call them outlaws or patriots who made sacrifices that didn’t include their own deaths. It’s not as black and white as the media wants us to believe.

Common misconception Native Americans refer to themselves as “Indians” almost without exception.

What?

Apple is one of the most publicly traded companies in the world. Additionally they are one of the largest and most sold brands in the world. Apple is the polar opposite of “hipster”.

In case one isn’t familiar, poverty went up.
