In this bit10 moments
  • Tim opens on a Houthi fighter going viral on TikTok for being attractive, banned after the video spread.
  • People will masturbate to him regardless of his "death to America" messaging—his attractiveness overrides the ideology.
  • Turning Yemeni fighters into gay sex symbols is an effective counterinsurgency strategy, making them too embarrassed to fight.
  • Is this what terrorism is now—just being hot on a boat instead of actually killing people?
  • This video makes Tim want to masturbate rather than feel terrified, the opposite of how terrorism used to work.
  • Tim laments that nothing is like it used to be; terrorism has lost its values and standards.
  • Terrorists used to commit to cutting people's heads off and lighting them on fire, not doing thirst traps on TikTok.
  • America respected its created and funded terrorists when they kept doing increasingly crazy things; now they're just hot.
  • Maybe the new terrorist plan is just to be hot and sexy because they've gotten as lazy as America.
  • The system: America gives enemies money and weapons, they do heinous stuff, America kills them, then the cycle repeats.
