Why do terrorists mostly attack civilian places? Sure it causes a lot of panic, but nothing is truly gained. May be better off attacking industrial complexes like coal mines, power plants, dams? Wouldn't not cause more damage and hysteria?

They are terrorists. They want to make people feel terrified, like they could be Jihaded at any moment for no legitimate reason.

I have wondered this too

In all seriousness why do they not kill politicians?

breivik atleast had some sort of objective with his shit.

If your goal is to take human life and lots of it, the best way to do it is to target places where crowds of people gather and have lots of security.

If you target something big like a dam you're probably not going to kill anybody immediately and you're going to need some pretty powerful shit to cause any destruction, assuming you're not caught in the act.

In retrospect, it's harder to disrupt peoples lives this way without someone becoming suspicious of you and phoning the police vs entering a nightclub and blasting away.

hint: they're not very smart people

wouldn't attacking industrial complexes be more terrifying? Things that affect your every day life on a massive scale?

Ensure randomly getting jihaded by some random fucking Muslim out of nowhere could be terrifying but you have to go outside usually for that to happen.

>Why not kill politicians

They tend to have better security systems in place and they will probably just be replaced with people who will enact the exact same kind of policies.

> nothing is truly gained.

The Jew government enacted massive, sweeping control over all citizens, restricted their rights massively, wiretapped the entire country, and gropes children at airports if they refuse to be photographed naked.

And the citizens still allow it. Because they're scared of a few roving sandniggers.

They never attack the (((banks))) to fund further attacks because they don't need additional funding. They're getting paid very well. They never attack the (((media))) because the (((media))) is doing their job spreading terror and lies.

(((They))) have gained plenty, and all it took was a few dead faggots, a few strategically placed bombs, and some heavily insured real-estate.

That's why they're called "terrorists", douchebag

More protected. Usually you need an inside man.

Killing a bunch of random people is the best force magnifier they have. The news media spent weeks calling Abdelhamid Abaaoud a "mastermind," plastering his picture all over the place and honestly making him sound cool as fuck, because he was able to get a bunch of his delinquent friends together to murder strangers and die

Terrorists are supported by the invisible arm of the CIA.

Theire goal is not to disrupt the power structure, but to enforce it

Attacking people is better, because it causes the largest effect.

If you blow up a bus, then a huge amount of people are going to be scared of using busses. The government will spend millions on 'anti-terror' stuff as a response to people not feeling safe when they are in public.

If you blow up a power station or a mine or something, they'll reallocate resources from another site and have the damaged one back up and running in a week. Obviously the government will still spend money on 'anti-terror', but it doesn't have the same psychological effect as attacking civilians en mass does.

Anything of more industrial importance (dams, nuclear power stations) are protected by police / MOD police

>Oy vey no no, bad goyim
>Don't blow up my power plant, allah love power plant

Because they're fucking dumb.

Because those things are hard. Every once in a while they get organized enough to pull it off, but lone wolf gunmen don't stand a great chance of crippling any infrastructure or successfully pulling off high profile assassinations. Killing random people is easy, and it gets big ass headlines so has the desired effect of shaking a peoples confidence and feeling of safety.

Are you entirely unaware of the IRA or something?

Fuckin' Iraqi Rapist Association brought Ireland to it's knees.

the IRA did this in a way. They destroyed northern Irelands economy with constant bombings and also had high profile attacks in the UK which killed nobody but did billions in damage

because the terrorists attack are false flags created to enhance survaillance and guncontroll with the people cheering, while also engaging divide and conquer since people start hating all muslims, and hating people defending muslims and vice versa making them fight among themselves instead of joining together to fight (((them)))

psychological warfare

why doesnt attack isis israel, even though reclaiming the holy land should be the number one priority? maybe because they arent real terrorist but just a bunch of private military companies fighting under the banner of the highest bidder which is israel/usa/saudiarabia to destabilize the rest and have an easier time to controll the whole area.

these

Thank you.... I thought this would be obvious. The fact that they aren't targeting infrastructure and simply terrorizing people proves the point. They're a pawn to make people give up their rights willingly.

how could ISIS feasibly attack Israel? They have walls surrounding the country and the military patrols all around it

The IRA learned that when you kill members of the Royal family or bomb politicians, government will eventually start negotiating
ISIS doesn't want negotiation, they want dominance and revenge

A Palestinian already living in Israel with a car bomb maybe.

That depends on what kind of terrorists they are.

PKK in Turkey mostly attack police stations, military vehicles and such.

Rote Armee Fraktion went after politicians.

Mudslimes target civilians, probably because they're mudslimes.

when you listen to the stuff isis says they shouldnt care about that. they talk about how allah is protecting them, and how they can fight off any army no matter how strong or many they are. why would they then not go the same strategy with israel? just attack and believe in allah. surely some walls arent and obstacle for the allmighty one. but they dont even try to regain the should be number one priority

There have been Hamas members who went on stabbing sprees but its not that effective

you attack regular people because ultimately its their opinion that matters and shapes our government.

if you have the common people mad about israel and what they did to the middle east then you can actually get things done and kick them out.

There are lots of things groups say but which they know aren't true. ISIS aren't stupid enough to walk towards the border of a heavily militarised country when they can't even defeat other rebel groups in Iraq and Syria.

I don't know a lot about Hamas but it seems to me they always do some little stupid thing to Israel that the jews can use as an excuse for more settlements and phosphorous attacks.

If they were serious you think they'd blow up a settlement or something huge.

Terrorism implies the use of terror tactics to achieve political goals.
Killing random civilians is pretty scary to civilians.

It´s easy, and they can say that they did something

The author implies that a kabob will know how to tell a piece of important industrial infrastructure from some crap building occupied by an arts collective.

>est bidder which is
>wrong (in trump)

people have been against immigration for 50 years but politicians love it.

mexican cartels kill politicians and win. if you are gona be a terrorist then atleast be of some use. seems to me isis would be better off killing some anti isis people rather than turning populations against them?

but I don't know, just using some common sense

Take a look at what's happening everywhere. All terrorists have to do is kill civilians in random places and they can jump start a religious/civilizational war. The recent truck killings are even more effective than guns (in terms of creating paranoia). Now any brown person with a driver's license is potentially a mass murderer.

It's all about killing people in unexpected places. Industrial and military locations are way too expected.

How else will Intelligence agencies get public support for more power?

the only reason I know a bit about them is the """nationalist""" groups over here are far left and side with Palestinians
Hamas were democratically elected and then made a one party state, banned elections and then declared they will never have a peace with Israel and that the only solution is to push every Jew out of Israel.
Pretty fucking stupid when you're going against a country backed by the richest and most powerful in the world

> defeat other rebel groups in Iraq and Syria.

what coincidence to pic related of you would at least expect an isis cell operating on its own trying to start something. but nothing.

They literally can't do much more than fire off roman candle-esque rockets that damage streets or have random arabs go on stabbing sprees.

This is insanely ideal for the right wingers of Israel as it opens up the way to 'mow the lawn' in Gaza every few years.

I mean, you can believe what you want but Israel is actually smart about its border control and theres no way some sandnigger with a is gonna waltz into the country with weapons, bombs

t. created a nationalist movement that aimed to push every member of the world's most powerful empire out

yeah, non at all. totally impossible. weirdly i dont find anything about isis claiming responsibillity for an attack

It's why they are called terrorists dude. The main aim is terror amongst the civilian population. Militants who attack industrial/strategic locations are called soldiers.

The koran explicitly tells muslims that they gotta slaughter infidels like pigs if they want to get to the highest levels of the islamic orgy heaven.

Muslims wanna slaughter humans, snuff out infidel life. It is sexually arousing to them. industrial sabotage just isn't as exciting.

never. It was to a free Ireland.
There was never an Irish movement to remove anglo irish people or Irish protestants from the country

If ISIS were funded completely by Israel and they were all undercover members then surely the israeli government wouldn't mind if some innocent israelis had to die, it would make it all the more believable

Because terrorists would need multiple gunmen and heavy explosives to actually attack things like powerplants. the more planning and preparing terrorists do the more likely they are to be discovered by the fbi.

>Anglo-Irish
About as real as the "Northern Irish".

There were plenty of people in Dublin who referred to themselves as this
mainly the upper classes

And there are plenty of people in Belfast who refer to themselves as "Northern Irish". Doesn't mean it's a real thing.

yeah well genetically its certainly not

Stop talking like it's a real thing. It's about as real as a "transwoman". You don't get to just claim that you're something that doesn't exist.
