because wanting to do something and having the capacity to do something are different.

Last time I checked, ISIS has killed a lot of people. You do those slain a disservice by not even acknowledging this.

What the hell? I haven't acknowledged the number of people that ISIS has killed because it doesn't matter. If the measure of the threat that ISIS poses is measured in deaths per year, then ISIS does a little less damage per year than commercial airplane crashes. Airplane crashes are not existential threat, so clearly, if ISIS is an existential threat, it is not because they are currently on track to kill everyone.

It was an existential threat to them... wasn't it? Your post came off as as long as the deaths didn't happen here, or wherever it is that you live, they don't matter. If not, explain how ISIS isn't an existential threat, and yet the Daily Stormer is? Because the latter's ideology is associated with that special buzzword, "fascism", is it?
