Both the Left’s and the Right’s “strategies” for dealing with Islamic terrorism and European mass immigration are as full of various piles of shit and loquacious lies as a cattle roundup in Texas circa 1888.

The Right is “bomb them into oblivion and arrest/harass anyone who looks vaguely brown and close all the borders forever (unless you are white).” Not to mention that they seem to believe that unlimited racial profiling helps, and that “sending them all back” is an actual answer, even families that have lived in Belgium or France or Denmark for 50 years.

And of course the Right believes that it’s not also terrorism if they harass, demonize and kill anyone who looks too brown.

The Left for its part claims that Islamic terrorism doesn’t exist, and that if it does exist it isn’t a threat, and if it is a threat, it is our fault (especially if you are white), and that those harmless little immigrants and their kids are just puppies, orphans, babies and perhaps even actual fairies with wings to make all your wishes come true.

Of course the Left gets to the BS conclusion of “there is way more than Islamic terrorism in Europe” by conflating the “terrorism” of some French farmer who accidentally set his tractor on fire while protesting low produce prices with bomb blasts by Islamic militants that kill 40+ people on the regular.

Fucking Christ. What a bunch of clownish dolts, fools and morons on each side.

Look, I don’t have the answers. I barely even have the questions. But a minimum start is not being so delusional as to allow the issue to be framed by people who are making bank or mining popularity by leading you into mental bad idea traps.
