  2. I'm sorry I just don't think this is a useful way to understand this iteration of HTS. First of all the reason Julani was in prison at all in Iraq was because he was already fighting with Al Qaeda. Already plenty radicalized. But also, a lot of evidence points towards Julani primary being an adventurist and not an idealogue. I've seen a lot of mentions of his Nasserite father and the idea that he essentially became a jihadist to rebel against his parents. And (per one of the tweets below that I had previously posted) this iteration of HTS is very much Talibanized. Legitimate ideological movement away from AQ/ISIS universal caliphate toward nationalist islamism. They've been ruling Idlib for years, we know how they govern. It also (see below) mystifies the Turkish connection.





     
  3. And I think you have to be careful about the intricacies of these groups if you are going to defend Hamas. I would avoid Salafi as a slur for example

    very unsurprising…if you go outside the big cities in Canada it’s so damn rural/conservative.

    Mass immigration from Eastern countries has created a very us vs them mentality in some parts of Canada.

    Current timeline of the shooter before the assassination

    11/24: arrives in New York from a Greyhound Bus that came from Atlanta. Checks into the youth hostel.
    11/29: checks out of youth hostel
    11/30: checks back into youth hostel
    12/4 5AM: seen at a housing project on the upper west side
    12/4 6:15AM: Seen leaving the F Train
    12/4 6:17AM: Shooter goes to Starbucks
    12/4 6:30AM: Seen talking to someone on the phone
    12/4 6:39AM: Shooter arrives infront of the hotel and waits

    Based on this I now 100% think this wasn't a lone gunman thing. He was working with people.

    A spotter most likely. He was on the phone right before he got into position, and he knew exactly where the guy was going to be.

    It’s not that Julani is sincere in his current views, it’s that he has never been sincere in any of his views and has finally found his path to real power via Turkey.

    TBF GWB and Trump were also polled as "the worst POTUS in modern American history" when they got out too. It is kind of a loaded polling question because of course most people are going to be biased by current conditions.

    Fox News posted an article on facebook headlined as the "far left" is mocking and celebrating the CEOs death and all the comments are people saying "no actually both sides are doing it"

    the murder of a health insurance CEO really is uniting people
