User proposes that Jihadists are Western creations made to prop up Western banks and fiat currency, /r/badeconomics disagrees.

Conspiracy and bitcoin drama all in one? This is good for SRD.

Atomic mass of gold: 197

Molecular mass of tetradecane, a component of jet fuel: 198

Coincidence?

Gold fuel can't melt steel beams.

"Bitcoin is controlled by the Jews. I only use dogecoin.

The owner was being sarcastic when he made it so it wasn't for profit therefore it's safe."

So... and let me get this straight, the Arab Spring was a legitimate populist uprising in 16 out of the 18 countries in which it occurred, but there couldn't have been a populist uprising in Libya or Syria.

I'm pretty sure they're actually western creations made to stick it to the Soviets.

In a way, the modern jihadist movement came out of both the West and the Soviets shitting on (and thinking they could manipulate) the Middle East and South/Central Asia.

Afghanistan's wars come to mind, but there was also the U.S alliance with Pakistan and the Soviets/Russia's influence over the Caucasus and Syria.

All that was missing was a radical idea to "shove them up the ass", which the rulers of the Middle East were only too happy to find and fund.
