Boko Haram and the Demon Consensus

[politicus]

For such a serious subject it's generally best not to use titles that sound like 'edgy' thrash rap band names.

What the **** are you talking about? I'm sorry that the author's condemnation of perceived hypocrisy sound like "'edgy' thrash rap band names" to you.

'Boko Haram and the Demon Consensus' sounds like an 'edgy' thrash rap band name, and 'demon consensus' is an unbelievably nonsensical and stupid term in general.

The War Nerds also sounds like a band name.

"Gary Brecher and The War Nerds featuring Boko Haram and the Demon Consensus."

The subject in the article is interesting, but Brecher seems to be nursing some personal grudges against enemies in the Western/US press. The "predatory Sahel Muslims prey on peaceful Black Christian/Animist peasants" has a core of truth, but is also a very simplistic way of viewing a string of rather complex conflicts.
