What intrigues me are things that are placed in our society, which reek of psychotic hypocriticism. They are straightforward examples of how people are blind to so many things. One such word, which has come to dominate our very existence here in the US, is the word terrorism.
Terrorism. Most people associate the word with a bearded man, with a turban who is a part of or works in conjunction with Al-Qaeda. Most people also associate Islam to that generalization, along with other generic keywords: Middle Eastern, A-rab, Al-Jazeera. While information involving these keywords is available in every median of our lives from TV to casual conversations, no such definitions exist. Mostly because no one is quite sure of what they mean. We have Fox news, CNN, MSNBCS, and the likes to thank for that. Meaningless propaganda with glittery candy-like words and "meanings," just to gain attention. Mind you, they sound like informative stories that great, but they fail to realize the reprucussions of the divestment.
Other types of Terrorism is glorified though. I see it all the time. Infact in most cases it is promoted by the responsible entities as being cool and the "in" thing. Hollywood and the Gaming industry are great example, in this, then. Movies about the glorification of Triads, Italian Mafia (by far the most popular one. An example being Sopranos), Japense crime lords, Street racing law evading deviants (fast and the furious), Colombian/South American drug traffikers, Carribean Cannibus smoking culture, Rappers promoting constant violence (50 cent in Get Rich or Die Trying), Russian Mafia, 1920’s thugs and gangsters (idolized in virtually every movie or advertisement they are in) and the increasingly Violent street gangs (Grand Theft Auto, all parts!).
Ask any random American individual about the above mentioned terrorist organizations and more likely then not, you will get an answer that revolves around the words AWSOME, COOL, AMAZING and even INSPIRING unless ofcourse, the question is regarding Terrorism (what we define it as nowdays atleast) and the answer would be filled with hate (along with a frownie face), along with other generic words (but is not limited to) like freedom, nuculear, eye-ran, a-rab, middleastern, etc.
In essence it is in fashion for us to denounce terrorism (and rightfully so) but only a certain kind of it. Ethnic mobs, Black rascists, drug traffickers, and illiterate celebreties are great in the sheeples’ minds. Sure al-qaeda killed, what, 3 thousand people on the 11th of september, but what about these other terrorist organizations that are considered noble now. They too are involved in constant destruction of our society, and probably 100 times worse then al-qaeda. These orgnizations and people are contributing to constant drug trafficking, rapes, murder, theft, robbery, arson, and in turn the moral fabric of society is detriorating because of them. Sure 3 thousand people were lost in one strike that day, but atleast 5 times that die EVERYDAY due to mob violence, gang activity and the likes.
Why is religeous terrorism the only evil thing while other types of larger (yes, believe it or not) evil existence is cherished, loved, and gloated about? Why not hate that too? Atleast have some consistency.
