    People need to realize that the CIA is legally not allowed to operate within US borders.

        Neoliberal, they use it as a symbol for "globalist" capitalism.

    The missing step here is the point that the CIA is evil and should be dismantled. If you accept that, you don't have an issue with "lol owned" responses to some imperialist toady getting got. But if you haven't accepted that yet, and you're holding onto some idea that the CIA is vaguely on the right side, of course cheering on the deaths of CIA drones seems callous.

    The point to focus on when news like this comes up is "the CIA is absolutely not the good guys." That's a more valuable message (it's systemic, not individual) that will reach more people.

      A lot of people were pointing out "The CIA shouldn't be in Somalia," but this is funny too.

        Even "we shouldn't be there" falls short of the mark. If someone thinks the CIA is vaguely good (and there are decades of propaganda selling this take), they'll just view a CIA stooge dying in a place he shouldn't be as some "good intentions/tragic mistake" nonsense. That's how a lot of people view Vietnam and Iraq, for instance.

        Making the case that the CIA itself is bad cuts through all of that. There's no "oh they were probably trying to do the right thing" excuse that way.

      The funniest part is the moral scolds going "DON"T YOU KNOW WE'RE FIGHTING [insert terrorist group the CIA likely armed, trained, and funded] OVER THERE!!???!!" They get it, we're just dopes.

          ESPECIALLY INTJ identifying types. Just say "I'm a Pordan Jeterson logic turd" and save us all the time.

          Edit: fucking hell, this article is basically just "how would incel logic dorks like to be viewed by everyone around them":

          Architects question everything. Many personality types trust the status quo, relying on conventional wisdom and other people’s expertise as they go about their lives. But ever-skeptical Architects prefer to make their own discoveries. In their quest to find better ways of doing things, they aren’t afraid to break the rules or risk disapproval – in fact, they rather enjoy it.

            When I was in high school and believed in that shit I was an intj/intp, and yeah I was pretty insufferable and thought I was smarter than everyone else around me and veered dangerously close to becoming an incel

      Lol "logical leftist" just means he's one of those irritating liberals that think they're fucking too smart and clever for Marxism and reading books, and were the ones saying dumb shit like "Warren is actually to the left of Bernie", just the most annoying fucking people in existence.

      "For all you know he was killing bad people. Did you think of that? What if he only killed like one or two local children out of hundreds of completely justifiable political murders? You gonna demand his resignation? I suppose you never make a mistake at work."

    So many people out there are working their asses off in some shitty job and they chose to pursue this career of killing people that they could have walked away from at any time. No fucking sympathy

    Poor guy, just minding his own business in combat in somalia and somehow gets killed for nonspecific reasons. What an unforeseeable and tragic loss of innocent life, could have happened to anyone.
