    American police just used to be very worried about satanic cults killing babies. A lot of their training scenarios would revolve around it. Satanic panic type stuff.

    There's this fantastic training movie on surviving edged weapons where information about how quickly a person can close 15 feet of distance, is presented side by side with a scenario of a satanic cult doing ritual human sacrifice. It was everywhere.

    There's still lots of current day training scenarios that revolve around "satanic cult doing something", but you'd have to go search thru local news for the interviews that mention it, because it's just taken for granted.

    Y'allqaeda was the best piece of nomenclature cooked up on twitter and I'm sad it was just used for single militia instead of being descriptive of the religious right as a whole

    I absolutely get where you're coming from but I never liked the term because to me it smacks of [looking at extremely US-specific problem]: What are we, dirty muslims?

    I can see that, but to me it was more like "you guys are super racist and scaremongering about how Muslims will institute Sharia law, but you're just as violent and religiously dogmatic as the most famous muslim terror group"

    Though the other reading is just as valid
