  • “Originally, blowback was CIA internal coinage denoting the unintended, harmful consequences—to friendly populations and military forces”

    Seems the CIA would agree with him but I think people just get hung up when Hasan used the word “deserve”.

    America as a nation had it coming 100%

    I don’t think Hasan believes the men, women, and children that died “deserved it” but that’s what his detractors want you to hear. It doesn’t help that’s how he phrased it, and definitely doesn’t help how easily it can be removed from its context.

    Many people like to lazily think everything happens in a vacuum and will not spend any additional energy thinking why something happened through. And for those that do wonder, the first answers offered to them are propaganda and lies.

    Having two opinions of a situation like “9/11 was a horrible tragedy” and “America caused this to happen via its foreign policy” is simply too complex or world shattering for many people to accept. Especially when the pre-packaged pills are much easier to swallow.












  • Switching has been really interesting for me. Before I moved I’d think “Man I don’t want to do all the troubleshooting and learning that is going to come with it”

    But what happened is it reminded me that I enjoy learning and troubleshooting. I think the difference is the troubleshooting I have to do in Windows is typically trying to unfuck some bullshit Microsoft is doing that I don’t like. I’m usually mad on principle, and when I do unfuck whatever it is I resent that I had to do it in the first place.

    In Linux it’s “I wonder if I can do this? I can! But does that mean? It does!” It has completely reinvigorated my love for computers.

    Also, for whatever reason when I thought about switching I only ever thought about the troubleshooting. In my head it was like I would be switching to an OS that only exists to be worked on. I forgot that like once you set it up the first time you’re kinda done and it’s just like any other computer. You can futz and customize endlessly if you want to, or you can just stop.

    I’m never going back
