CHILD RAPE IS FINE WHEN I LIKE THE RAPIST
Watching D&D do backflips for the last two days has been hilarious, especially viewed in comparison to their anti Israel rhetoric.

NAACP building "bombed"? OMG ATROCITY! Despite no damage or casualties. Rockets fired into Israel by the hundreds? "Psssshh it's just a firecracker pissrocket walk it off"

Terrorists kill 12 as a reprisal over a loving cartoon? "Hey maybe you shouldn't poke that bear, let's limit free speech." Terrorists suicide bomb Israeli pizza places, rocket & mortar & shoot & stab and hatchet attack civilians? APARTHEID GENOCIDE LITERALLY HITLER

oh goons.

Eh. Anyone who believes people become radicalized because of a cartoon doesn't know very much about terrorism. I've interviewed people who study it for a living, and everything I've learned says that the people who tend to get *really* freaked out about cartoons are people who already radicalized.

In a way, it's like joining a cult. Al Qaida and other cults are filled with some profoundly disturbed individuals, who have a great deal of difficulty understanding nuance, subtlety, moral grey areas, satire, or distinguishing symbolic things from actual things. It's like when the Church of Scientology loses its poo poo over satire, which has the effect of spreading the satire more widely.

They're in a closed mental universe that makes it hard for them to contextualize things, or predict the likely outcomes of their actions. And in a way, blaming cartoons for radicalization is terribly condescending to ordinary Muslims because it assumes they can't handle it without killing people.

After yesterday and the rampant victim blaming that went on D&D i can say without any trace of irony that D&D is the loving worse. GIP may be full of monsters, but at least we have emotions and can display some loving sympathy.

Edit: meant D&D

President Obama announced a proposal of making community college for free to those willing to 'work for it.'
Not many details are given outside of schools having to meet some sort of academic standard, students needing to meet a specific GPA, and states would fund some of the program.
