Thunderf00t's notorious and violent overreaction to some (at that point, still alleged) threats. He warns of shock-n-awe being surpassed in its violence if the west ever feels a serious threat from "Islam".

The entire sordid mess is, as they say, history.

But Thunderf00t's chest-beating posturing has plenty of echo in the Islamic world, and threat and counter-threat generally lead to a pretty predictable outcome, especially if people are taken by surprise by the violence of the rhetoric and the potential for acting on them.

Threats are recklessness incarnate.

- Then with a mighty burst of anger spake to him swift-footed Achilles: "Thou hast foiled me, thou god that workest afar, most cruel of all gods in that thou hast now turned me hither from the wall; else had many a man yet bitten the ground or ever they came into Ilios. Now hast thou robbed me of great glory, aud them hast thou saved full easily, seeing thou hadst no fear of vengeance in the aftertime. Verily I would avenge me on thee, had I but the power."

It is clear to us that the war can only end with the destruction of the Germanic peoples or the disappearance of Jewry from Europe. On September 3, I already announced in the German Reichstag (and I am careful not to make rash prophecies) that this war would not develop as the Jews imagine, namely that the European-Aryan peoples will be destroyed. Instead, the result of this war will be the destruction of Jewry. For the first time others will not bleed alone.

Threats are what will probably finish us off as a species.
