re: #5 BishopX

It’s usually someone who has had repeated contact with some identified as an extremist…so if your brother runs a business with someone who has a sideline of selling fertilizer out of the back of his truck you would be considered an extremist.

But that does serve a useful function even then in a tribal society: “Stand with the Taliban and it won’t just be you who suffers. We’ll bomb your brother’s business, too.” The price of siding with our enemies must be made high in order for deterrence to work.
