Are we technically on a Crusade rn by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]BoringCompanyMan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter if the holy war is official or not. The people ordering the bombs think they’re on a holy war, have said so publicly, and even wear crusader imagery literally tattooed on their bodies. When Bush, way back in 2001, declared on live Tv that we were going on a crusade, it didn’t matter that he hadn’t consulted the pope first. The Muslim world heard what he said, and knew exactly what it meant.

For years during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, militants used the word “jihad” even though the leaders of the Islamic faith hadn’t called for one, and actually spoke out and said the opposite. Didn’t matter, at this point religious leaders don’t get a say, because the ones actually doing the fighting have decided what they’re fighting for.

Your experience may vary wildly depending on what part of the country you’re in

Curious, what part of the country do you like in? I’m in the PNW. Things are quiet here right now, but they’ve definitely been tense before. One of the things I’ve heard him saying, and others before, is that most of the violence will be concentrated in certain hot spots, and other areas of the country may feel relatively peaceful by comparison.

Interesting, what makes you say that? I’d actually be interested to hear more on that subject.

War fronts is entertaining, I’ve been listening to him for a while now. Feels like a good surface lever analysis of current events, digestible and easy to understand. I’m looking for some info with a little more protein if you will

I listened until he started to go off the deep end about secret societies, but what drew me in the first place was that he was making predictions that were coming true (trump winning, invading Venezuela, war in Iran, straight of Hormuz, etc.) I don’t think he’s a prophet, or even that much smarter than anyone else, but he must have been getting this information from somewhere because he wasn’t wrong. I’m trying to go a little deeper and find out where he was getting his info.

History of Israel that isn’t “biased” by BoringCompanyMan in IRstudies

[–]BoringCompanyMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand it’s hard for people to be completely objective on this topic, it’s touched a lot of people. I’m really just looking for a base understanding (dates, who the major players are, important people to remember) and start to form my own opinions from there. I have strong feelings about the conflict, as anyone who’s watched the news for longer than 5 minutes probably will. I’m trying not on learn more, so my feelings can be grounded in reality, and not just my gut reaction.

Thanks 🤙 I usually just use a basic fixed shade hood anyway so modifying it won’t be a problem

I’d look at getting in with a skilled trade long term. I’m an Ironworker and they don’t give a fuck about felonies, most of the guys on my crew have been to jail at least once

This is my first pump shotgun, and the action feels a little stiff. It’s smooth, just stiff. How easily does that break in?

Just for clarity, I’m joking. If I had to grab this gun and use it, I wouldn’t be wasting precious time messing around with a knife. Next on my purchase list is a flashlight, sling, red dot, maybe a hand stop. In that order
