    LOL

    I tried not to laugh. I normally try to feel sorry for people like this being so naïve and shielded from the real world due to overdose levels of progressivism, but why bother?

    This is similar to a story a few years ago where a radical immigration activist and feminist went on a hitchhiking tour of the Middle East to promote marriage between all people, and they found her raped and murdered body in a ditch.

    Or the middle aged childless woman who was blogging her rafting adventures through the South American jungle, where she was warned not to go, and got killed by the natives.

    Progresssivism kills.

    Thank you for posting this.

    This has so many implications.
    It's one thing if they want to risk their own lives with their naivity and well-intentioned optimistic outlook, but to risk the lives and future wellbeing of everyone else in the boat is something else.

    They quit so they could go riding. Well, they saw enough and quit riding.

    I understand the part about quitting the job and bloody hell going on a long-range outdoor adventure. Just the thought makes the heart leap out of the chest.

    But the rose colored stuff -- total bravo sierra.

    You can die cycling any road, but in the USA it probably won't be cold blooded murder -- just a drunk, a high weeder, or somebody with their nose in a screen.

    btw, best stay out of Mexico, too.

    At least in Mexico they'd just hold you for ransom.

    I like how the article says that conservatives believe liberals want open borders and socialism because of “an overly generous understanding of human nature” and “naïveté”.

    No, we know why you want open borders and socialism. In the West, at least.

    Problem is, the experts are right: Tajikistan is generally pretty safe. It’s not where you would expect to encounter ISIS militants. It’s not like they were biking through Syria.

    Pretty much their entire journey up until their death proves their point: that most people, anywhere in the world, are fundamentally decent. There are a few bad apples, but nowhere near the majority.

    So I’m not clear on why the OP is making fun of these two. If they were naive enough to bike through ISIS territory, sure. But that’s not what happened.

    I think this qualifies for a double Darwin award! Not often we get one of them.

    A Darwin award? This is an ideology. These people want to move all those people over there here.

    They were biking near Afghanistan.

    Wolves have cars, and in fact they killed them with one.

    Evil has never been static. Nor has good.

    Lol at people who live in "good" neighborhoods.

    Your delusions wont protect you.

    Here's what I find funny... It's pointed out that they didn't really enter any dangerous areas. That's right, they knew better, despite their virtue signalling. They flew as close to the sun as they could, to demonstrate that things don't catch fire. Unfortunately for them, they were made of the wrong material, flew a little too close, and not surprisingly were incinerated.

    These liberal flakes and religious do-gooders make the serious mistake of believing everyone else is like they are? They're effing not, stupidos!

    An AR15 would probably have been a better choice at that moment.

    They probably irritated the terrorists so much they said 'screw the ransom'.

    Liberals sure like to joke about the "kool aid" until you inform them that Jimmy Jones was a prominent Mexifornia Democrat and so were most of his victims.
