Yes - though they are interested in much more than "conservative" White people. They have legitimate international targets, even if recently they had to go after the gravy seals who wanted to kill and harm people in the Capitol Buiding. These aren't Isenhower Conservatives. They're Radical Republicans, some of whom believe that terrorism is OK for their their specific causes.

"They have legitimate international targets...." Who told you that? The government commits crimes every day. Is that OK? Why should people follow corrupted power structures, Socks?

Yes - I should not use the word 'legitimate' in this context, for the reasons you mention. Since the 16th century, the US has caused numerous international conflicts - I recall something like 150 of CIA-led, or unofficial, and official. The official list is here:

Thank you, sir. Edit: although, you never answered my question about corrupted power structures and the reason we should follow them?

I see - indeed I did not answer that. The answer is an emphatic, 'no'. Like some on Saidit, I think we should challenge the corrupt power structures, eg. D.C. lobbyists &c. My view is that this is part of late stage capitalism, and that the main culptrits since Reagan have been the 1% (esp. boomers, closing the door on the next generation), who have been especially supported by the radical republicans. I appreciate that many on Saidit will see much of this differently, hence I argue with users regularly. But there is a general concern about the corrupt power structures.

A general concern does nothing to protect anything. If you have a general concern for a rabid dog in your house, you still have a rabid dog in your house. People like you are going to watch an Empire unveil itself, and you'll either be disgusted with yourselves for taking part in it, or you'll wisen up.
