In a 2015 poll, 30% of Republicans and 19% of Democrats supported bombing a fictional city (Agrabah, a city in the story of Alladdin)
IMO this result reflects a violent, war-loving culture - cultivated on both sides of the political divide in the US.

FYI Public Policy Polling is a US Democrat polling firm.
That aside, it’s a poor reflection on US culture when 19-30% of those polled supported bombing - what they did not realise was a fictional city from a fairy tale
Only 13% of GOP and 36% of Dems supported not bombing it🙄😏

Wars cause death, destruction, misery, despair - and have created a global refugee crisis that is spreading Islam globally.
The war mongers who favoured war against a fictional city, likely don’t understand how these wars help global spread, of what IMO, is oppressive Sharia law

Sharia Law is IMO (and in the opinion of the European Court of Human Rights) incompatible with human rights.
Sharia law incidentally is something Islamic terrorists force on the places they conquer.
These wars should be ended, so natural naturalization of immigrants can occur

It would be interesting to know how US politicians (without access to their CIA mind controllers) would have voted, if polled about bombing a fairy tale city
Ignorance & intolerance coupled w a violence tolerating, war-mongering culture is the perfect setting for a 1984 dystopia

Privelege is when you think something is not a problem - because it’s not a problem to you personally
Imagine if war was imposed on your country (incl wars that use drones and other remotely controlled killing machines)
Imagine experiencing terror, deprivation, death & despair
