I had the idea that narrative in crisis goes through 3 phases:
denial, overconfident half measures to restore normalcy and when that fails, panic.What follows the panic is probably a paradigm shift. It’s time for one. The current PC paradigm has been failing for some time. The rise in terrorism and Ebola have highlighted its shortcomings, although the old players are still trying to force the new situation into the same old tired talking points with ever more absurd results.Belmont Club

From the same Belmont Club article, two ultimate STFU's to all the guilty bystanders [me included]:
'Or news that a Kurdish mother of 2 carried out a suicide attack on ISIS rather than surrender.
Then there's its almost companion piece about Jordan Matson, an American who "worked as a delivery driver for a food service company for six months to save enough money" to join the Kurds to fight ISIS. Matson says:
"I couldn't just sit and watch Christians being slaughtered anymore," he said in an interview with USA TODAY. "I got sick of giving online sympathy. Five minutes of lip service does nothing. These people are fighting for their homes, for everything they have."
