I totally get restricting Muslims coming into the US from the terror exporting countries Trump identified. No one has the right to come here and the first job of the Federal government is to protect the American people. We know and ISIS is saying they are putting plants in the emigres.
However, I don't get the logic of how trying to do things like register Muslims already here is going to lead to fewer terrorist attacks.
For example, the attack on the Brussels airport was on the airport because the terrorists were targeting France and they realized the government was closing in on them so they picked an alternative target.
The number of Muslims who would attack us are a tiny percent of the ones here. Obviously the ones who want to stay here and live here would comply even if they resent it. The ones who do want to attack us would move up their attack like Brussels or hide with family and friends or maybe they just register if they have nothing in their background. The San Bernardino shooters could have registered and it would have solved nothing.
Again the point of this question is just strategically, how does this help us? It is not a question of being "fair." I don't get how it works
It makes as much sense as WWII internment camps did, none at all.
This is all part of a larger effort of the power structure to target an outgroup for the masses to focus their frustration on. This power structure at this juncture knows full well it has lost all semblance of legitimacy. The economic system is predatory and no longer has any ties to production, goods/services, work, or a healthy society. The attention and focus of “the people” must be directed elsewhere less the masses turn their anxiety and gaze toward the system itself and question it. Ours is still an authoritarian colonial societal wealth extraction paradigm.
Blah blah, Marxist rhetoric, blah blah
Pretty lame way out, but it sure gets you away from dealing with concepts and ideas.
Actually I'm pointing out that's what you are doing. When you respond to a post with Marxist rhetoric, what sort of answer are you expecting?
Labels are so handy aren't they.
