Hi I'm Sean. I also have the twitter and the internet but right now I'm spending a lot of time Google Plussing. Questions?
Labeling the violent acts of those Muslim Others as “terrorism” - but never our own - is a key weapon used to propagate this worldview. The same is true of the tactic that depicts their violence against us as senseless, primitive, savage and without rational cause, while glorifying our own violence against them as noble, high-minded, benevolent and civilized (we slaughter them with shiny, high-tech drones, cluster bombs, jet fighters and cruise missiles, while they use meat cleavers and razor blades). These are the core propagandistic premises used to sustain the central narrative on which the War on Terror has depended from the start (and, by the way, have been the core premises of imperialism for centuries). That is why those most invested in defending and glorifying this War on Terror become so enraged when those premises are challenged, and it’s why they feel a need to use any smears and distortions (he’s justifying terrorism!) to discredit those who do.

WOW.
Here’s my theory on this, and I’m going to reference the slew of young kids pulling off insane skate tricks (like 720’s) that just a handful of years ago seemed impossible except to only the top .0001% of pros.
These kids don’t know they shouldn’t be able to do these things, so they just do them.
We set these limits up for ourselves. We tell ourselves “HFS that is hard, I could never do that” so then we never do it. But kids are too young to kneecap themselves like that. They see videos of people doing things and so they know they can be done and then they go ahead and do them too. They don’t have the self imposed limits we do.
A friend of mine who is one of the top people in his field once confided in me that when instructing new people, he often gives them what would have been considered unattainable goals when he was learning, and the students don’t know that, so they all strive to hit that mark and many of them pass it. Later he tells them the magic they just worked. Once, he told the class first how hard the goal was, and not a single one of them hit it.
We could all learn something from this attitude.

Two-factor authentication: What you need to know (FAQ)
