The 5 year plan. Take the Government back. Until then lets type meaninglessness.

Take whose government back?

America's government, it no longer serves the people.

When you remove an individuals self-worth through meaningful work and create a state of hopelessness among large segments of the population, there are bound to be consequences.

ISIS attracts disillusioned youth who have no job prospects and no hope for the future.

ISIS gives them a purpose and validates their worth - albeit to a cause that most people, including Moslems, reject.

Donald Trump can promise the American public a quick fix, but if he was 40 years younger with no job and no prospects for the future, he would join ISIS in a heat-beat.

Have I not already posted this? This is an article written by a man who is a consultant to the Department of Homeland Security. He's speaking to Americans for whom jihadi radicalization is so far removed from their own life experiences that they can't even imagine how it can happen. But that American generation is also one that has seen Star Wars, so he uses Luke Skywalker's tale as an analogy...which turns out to be quite accurate.

The Radicalization of Luke Skywalker: A Jedi's Path to Jihad

A more focused study, however, is needed to truly understand that the Star Wars films are actually the story of the radicalization of Luke Skywalker. From introducing him to us in A New Hope (as a simple farm boy gazing into the Tatooine sunset), to his eventual transformation into the radicalized insurgent of Return of the Jedi (as one who sets his own father’s corpse on fire and celebrates the successful bombing of the Death Star), each film in the original trilogy is another step in Luke’s descent into terrorism. By carefully looking for the same signs governments and scholars use to detect radicalization, we can witness Luke’s dark journey into religious fundamentalism and extremism happen before our very eyes.

Now, don't get bogged down in geeky details about the Star Wars canon. What is important is to note the characteristics of the boy's environment and roots and how men guide him toward a particular path.
