They were talking about terrorism. Put that in the headline.
He’s correct if you actually listen to the full quote

i mean you’re not a total fucking idiot are you
are you?
r/Destiny?
What’s it called when someone does something so embarrassing that YOU feel the embarrassment for them? Is that douche chills or something else?
Imagine using destiny subreddit to prove anything
so you’re a violent racist liar like piker
i see
Seems like a strong reaction
Sadly tame compared to their normal reactions and comments
hes correct even if you dont listen to the full quote and have bare minimum knowledge of history
Tbh, he’s just correct.
I mean I agree, but I don’t think streamers’ fit this community?
insert joke about fat americans
Maybe he should just join al quaeda then.
I don’t get it, what did you mean by this comment?
I think his point was that neither was good, wtf?
But America is worse tho innit
If we’re going by sheer body count, yes, by orders of magnitude.
If we’re using material harm to a person or region as the metric for measurement: objectively yes.
Both are terrible, but the US is pretty clearly worse.
As I say: go join 'em
“I didn’t disagree that America is worse for the world than one of the largest terror organizations, but I refuse to do anything about it!” Magnue yells as he guns the throttle on his Harley Davidson
America sucks m8
but the US is pretty clearly worse
To deconstruct this a (tiny) bit - and forgive the Clintonism of “it depends on the what the definition of ‘is’ is”…
I wouldn’t say “the US is pretty clearly worse”, but, rather, “the US - in the context of its actions in parallel consideration with that of al-Qaeda’s actions - has been (and continues to be) objectively worse, considering overall lives lost, material damage done, and the widespread and colossal impact to global geopolitical instability.” That’s not an equivocation, but a clarification which, IMO, if far more damning and more accurate to what Piker was trying to communicate.
and all of this? possibly the most masterful - almost artful - military intelligence operation ever devised and pulled off by one Vladimir Putin, such that would make Rasputin proud. he has taken the post-WWII western global hegemony and successfully, over just under 3 decades (especially in the last 10 years) led the dumbest and most arrogant American (Trump and MAGA) to smash it to bits on their own, with little effort on his part.

As a progressive American, do you think he’s wrong?
Al-Qaeda has killed around 3000 people from '93 to 2010 with the majority of those from 9/11.
In the subsequent “war on terror” alone the US killed 2 orders of magnitude more people.
Kinda seems he’s 100% right in saying “Pound for pound as far as the number of deaths, yes. … We have caused tremendous terror all around the world.”
henry kissinger alone was worse than whole al qaeda
I don’t think you’re as progressive as you think you are.
Lmfao ok
He’s right though. AQ hasn’t caused millions of deaths. Is still leading to millions of deaths.
AQ are monsters. Absolutely vile monsters. But do not pretend for a second the US is any better.
See how you’ve been provoked? Surely you’ve heard of a provocateur?
you are an imperialist dude, chill out.
A tankie says what?
as always, the truth.
