What are we describing as ISIS? The little boy who’s parents got blown up by US drones that noms the propaganda probably thinks they’re making the world a better place. The people who foster this environment know exactly what they’re doing. For this reason I can not in good faith say ISIS believes they’re making the world a better place.

This is how your line of argumentation plays in my head “people believe their ideas will make the world a better place even though they empirically won’t and they have reasons to believe they won’t”.

With the amount of grifters and conservatives I’ve experienced irl I promise you that outside of platitudes, they will admit they don’t give a fuck about anyone but themselves.
