Line #7 PlayingWith/WesternTerrorists


1	'''Basic Trope''': A terrorist group with predominately Western members is depicted.
2	* '''Straight''': TheSquad has to stop the Werwolves, a Neo-Nazi terrorist group from detonating a nuclear bomb in Manhattan.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** In addition to the Werwolves, every terrorist group in the world, ranging from PrivateMilitaryContractors to {{Apocalypse Cult}}s, consist of [[AngryWhiteMan white people]] sponsored by an EvilColonialist.
5	** The Squad has to fight the EvilStatesOfAmerica from [[OmnicidalManiac destroying the world]].
6	* '''Downplayed''': While the Werwolves are a terrorist group with Western members, they do not subscribe to white supremacist ideas, and [[EqualOpportunityEvil employ many minorities and foreigners]].
7	* '''Justified''':
8	** The Werwolves ideology of Nazi ideals and white supremacy attract primarily Western members.
9	** The Werwolves is based in {{Ruritania}} or some other Western land.
10	* '''Inverted''':
11	** The [[MalcolmXerox Black Lions]] are a black supremacist group bent on slaughtering white people.
12	** The Falcon Unit is an [[EliteArmy elite]] Middle-Eastern [[SWATTeam counterterrorist force]], with their cutting-edge equipment funded by oil exports.
13	* '''Implied''': A Werwolves cell is shown to have all white members but it's not explicitly stated that a Werwolves member ''must'' be white.
14	* '''Subverted''': Despite having fearsome rhetoric, the Werwolves are little more than a bunch of [[ThoseWackyNazis dumber-than-rocks bigots with little organizational capabilities]]...
15	* '''Double Subverted''': …Until we find out that they're [[TheManBehindTheMan backed by]] UsefulNotes/TheBritishEmpire.
16	* '''Parodied''': The Werewolves keep a random ([[OnlySaneMan thoroughly confused]]) Muslim man on staff to tell them if they are "doing it right."
17	* '''Zig-Zagged''': The Werewolves, working on [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Order_(Nazism)#Hitler.27s_plans_for_North_America obscure Nazi racial theories]], are made up primarily of Sioux Indians.
18	* '''Averted''': Some of the terrorists are radical Muslims.
19	* '''Enforced''':
20	** "We can't risk pissing off [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_on_American-Islamic_Relations CAIR]] and [[MoneyDearBoy our partners from the Gulf]], so let's make all the bad guys Westerners."
21	** The writer has MajoredInWesternHypocrisy enough to make the Westerners as terrorists.
22	* '''Lampshaded''': "Today's big news is a crackdown on a Neo-Nazi terrorist group. The SWAT commander in charge was quoted as saying: 'You wouldn't expect a few Neo-Nazi thugs to be a huge threat, but trust us; this time around, the real face of terrorism is Western.' The law enforcement agencies are currently continuing the investigation."
23	* '''Invoked''': "The Werwolves are a heavily-armed Neo-Nazi terrorist group established by SS officers who [[ArgentinaIsNaziland fled to South America]]. Your mission is to take them down".
24	* '''Exploited''': ???
25	* '''Defied''': The FBI goes to great lengths to crack down on all kinds of terrorists and monitor white supremacist organizations, so the Werwolves and like-minded groups are never able to organize.
26	* '''Discussed''': "You know, not all terrorists are from the Middle East. Ever heard of the Oklahoma City Bombings or even the British colonial atrocities?"
27	* '''Conversed''': ???
28	* '''Deconstructed''': Without foreign backing, the Werwolves aren't much of a threat...
29	* '''Reconstructed''': ...Except, the police are normally used to profiling Muslims, so they don't expect this kind of attack.
30	* '''Played For Laughs''': The cast's resident conspiracy theorist spends all his time looking nervously at his Muslim neighbors while the Werwolves are literally goosestepping down the street with bags of fertilizer.
31	* '''Played For Drama''': The Werwolves commit [[MoralEventHorizon hideous atrocities]] against Jews, African-Americans, Catholics, Muslims and anyone who stands in their way, and since barely anyone believes that not every terrorist is a Muslim, the heroes' squad (or [[TheCavalryArrivesLate their backup]]) [[YouAreTooLate is late to stop them]] [[KarmaHoudini over and over again]].
32	* '''Played for Horror''': Our story begins with a reenactment of [[RippedFromTheHeadlines one of the most destructive terrorist attacks in recent history]] that spares nothing in terms of gory imagery and characters (not to mention audience members) being traumatized, continues with a couple more to paint the terrorist faction as "seemingly unstoppable" (in every sense of the term) and then climaxes with TheReveal that this unrelenting massacring was orchestrated by a bunch of well-off upper-middle-class middle-aged EvilColonialist white dudes who just woke up one morning deciding that everything needed to burn. And worse yet, [[WeAreEverywhere they are not alone]].
