I wish this was a joke or parody, but it's not.

The US State Department appealed to Twitter earlier this week for help in solving the somewhat complex issue of countering violent extremism.

Writing on the social media site, the government department told users: “We want your input. Share solutions you think are critical to countering violent extremism,” and then invited them to post feedback.

Shockingly, the general reaction was not all that helpful.

I bet their solution is:

Re-education so that people will not have the idea of violence in the first place.

John Lennon wrote a song imagining what it would be like.

Fucking hippie trash running this country.

Why not get them jobs? it's what the white house says is the root problem, lack or employment.


Last time i was unemployed, driving a car full of explosives to the flea market wasn't even on radar.
