Yeah other than the fact that the point gets put across that someone really hates them to the degree that they'd seek out whatever they believe are the results of just leaving a bag of bacon on a mosque doorstep. It must be the most frustrating combination of "this dumbass" and fear.

Inferior Third Season posted:Whenever I hear about things like someone leaving bacon at a mosque, I always wonder about the mundane events that lead up to it. Did the guy have the bacon in his house already, or did he buy it just for the occasion? If he bought it just for that, did he buy it while already shopping for other things, or was he standing in line with just the bacon? And did he get an adrenaline rush and get all excited about what he was gearing up to do while in line with the bacon, or was he just patiently waiting a little bit bored? Was he playing Candy Crush on his phone while standing in line to buy the bacon that he intended to leave in front of a mosque in an attempt to offend Muslims? I wonder if the bacon was cooked or not because if I was baiting an eternal damnation trap with bacon I think it would be more effective if it was giving off the sweet aroma of cooked bacon.

Basically, the only reason to care about the whole bacon thing is that it means someone out there hates you in the dumbest possible way.

No, only the strictest interpretations say you can never handle pork ever period. Even in super fundamentalist countries it's considered perfectly acceptable for stores to stock pork and sell it to non-Muslims! And of course there's exceptions for being forced to consume pork, which isn't a sin. The way I've heard it explained is that these people who leave pork around because MUSLIMS CAN'T TOUCH IT OR THEY GO TO HELL think that Muslims are as fundamentalist as they are and that Allah works by the same rules as they believe God does.

That's what always gets me. As I understand it if you're put between "not eating pork" and "accepting the hospitality of another" Allah wants you to chow the gently caress down. It's like how the story of Sodom and Gomorrah straight-up says "Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy," but too many people are convinced it's God screaming gently caress THE HOMOS

Shageletic posted:A couple of things. One, Trump has always claimed to sleep four or five hours a night. Second, he seemed to suffer a chronic lack of attention as a child, with a father that would only value him for his success, with an obligatory imported strict German nanny raising him before being sent to boarding school. It seems like that pattern has continued. Of course he claims to only sleep for 4-5 hours a night, actually doing it while in the middle of running for president is a little bit different though. As far as why this fall of grace will be a little bit different, there are two major reasons. First off, narcissist survive public failures by putting it all behind them and never acknowledging it. That won't be an option with an entire team of over a thousand people who are organized around the task of exposing every thing about Donald Trump that is worthy of criticism to public attention. A narcissist cannot handle even very mild criticism, let alone having each and every one of their skeletons drug up into the public sphere. Remember how TrumpRemem tracings of his hands to the author who called him smile handed in a magazine article over a decade ago? Imagine how Trump is going to handle having a woman destroy him on National on National while there is absolutely nothing he can do about it except helplessly watch. Provoke a narcissist enough by destroying their false image and they will break the kayfabe they maintain and show you the real horror that lies underneath. This is sort of a response that can be triggered in any narcissist at any time if they are pressured enough, and Trump is going to be under a legendary amount of pressure from all angles for the next 5 months. He is going to fly apart in a way he never has before, because this is going to be a public spectacle of his failure in a way that he's never experienced before. If Trump were thinking at all rationally then he never would have put himself in a position where the illusion he projects about himself could be so easily destroyed. But Trump isn't thinking rationally, Trump is an addict on a binge and he's just following the drug wherever it leads him. There's no guiding principle at work here beyond that, Trump is a pleasure seeking machine working out the problem of how to attain more pleasure, and that is all that Trump is ever going to be capable of doing. He is an amoeba enveloping and devouring a source of food, there is no higher purpose to his actions than that. He is a lifelong addict who finally found a source of the perfect drug and has had an unbroken High that has lasted about a year, and that is all about to be taken away from him. While in a vacuum Trump The Narcissist could certainly survive this and emerge at a later date and some other ego glorifying form, that isn't going to happen here because of the aforementioned presidential campaign exposing and harassing him in a way that he simply will not be able to cope with. On top of that no matter what happens at this point some portion of trump supporters are going to be calling for violence, and Trump is going to be able to gain some measure of Supply Xlby inciting violence. When it comes down to it and Trump is forced to acknowledge that he is not going to be President, from Trumps perspective you're going to be taking away a heroin addicts entire stash and telling them that they're about to be locked in a room to sweat out the detox. Courtroom can avoid that hellish fate, grab himself some Supply by projecting the illusion to his followers that they can attain power through violence. Trump has already threatened the RNC with violent riots repeatedly at the mere Prospect of having the Republican nomination taken away from him, imagine how he's going to react once the whole presidency is taken away from him. He is going to use whatever tools are available in order to meet his need for Supply, and for the first time in his life he's going to have the threat of violence to hold over others as a tool at his disposal. Or, at the very least he will think he does. In either case with a narcissist as severe As Trump the only reason he has never incited mob violence before in his life is because he's never really had the opportunity to do so and gain something from it, there's no sort of guiding principle or strategic thinking in his life that would prevent him from considering or an acting such a strategy. It's just that he's never had the opportunity before, is all. A narcissist uses manipulative behavior to obtain Supply in the same way that a mechanic use his tools to assemble a car engine. It's a purely mechanical process that involves a bit of knowing how things are put together and which tools are proper for which specific situations. That is how a narcissist sees everything and everyone else in the world, just a tool to be utilized in the proper fashion to obtain Supply. With a case of severe is Trump, there is absolutely nothing to him beyond that. His entire existence is as a biological me to computer that uses every resource at hand to obtain Supply, he is more like a force of nature than a reasoned or self-aware human being. So I would say one reason why Trump is going ton incite violence when he fails this time where he hasn't in the past is because it's a new tool in his toy box and he wants to use it, Its a bright and shiny he's never gotten to play with before. If he had had the option before he wouldn't have hesitated to use it, look at how ruthless he is in every single aspect of his life. His children are so tuned into his subconscious posturing that he is able to control them using it, even when it's done in such an obvious fashion that a newspaper journalist observes it and writes about it. I've been that kid that was there to prop up the public image of the narcissist, I know what you have to do to a child to get them to behave like that. It's horrific. When this is all said and done I'm certain that it's going to probably come out that trumps not a billionaire, he's probably only got 200 million at best, and judging by his behavior I think he's starting to run a little bit low on the money he needs to keep the illusion of being a billionaire off. I'm certain it's also going to come out that he is extremely physically aggressive and abusive behind the scenes and has been his whole life. He has tried to cheat everyone who's ever done business with that he thought was too weak to stop him, and he's treated everything and his entire life like that. He only refuses to try and take from you if he thinks you're strong enough to stop him, otherwise he just takes what he wants and makes your life a living hell if you object. The end days of his campaign are probably going to resemble that movie scene where Hitler has an angry meltdown once he realizes that Germany is going to lose the war and there's nothing that can be done. The only difference is because of the nature of modern media, instead of Hitler screaming behind closed doors to a room full of his closest advisers we might get Trump streaming live on National Television at Hillary Clinton on the debate stage. It is going to be simply glorious.

It's the greatest terror that they can imagine, so they try to spread it to people they don't like. That, and like it's been said above, these asspharaohs want to make Muslims feel like they're not welcome and/or unsafe. Plus, people like the bacon shitlords probably believe that Muslims are already going to Literal Christian Hell for being part of the wrong religion.
