These people are disconnected from actually existing reality. Imagine defending the bombing of area that contain innocents in such a manner as this…entity chose to.
this person is so unhinged, they keep claiming that they didn't mean that you should blow up the entire house but im so lost on what else they're trying to say
Evergreen Jean-Paul Sartre quote. Works on any group justifying genocide.
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
If my mum and dad chose to visit an occupied land and be the guests of the occupiers, especially right next to a city that's been made into a prison for its own people, I'd have renounced them and wouldn't support action to save or avenge them. And if I weren't strong enough to not be overtaken by bloodlust somehow and I started saying no number of dead kids is too many, I wouldn't be worth listening to.
"What if you were as bloodthirsty as us and hated the arabs as we do" isn't the killer argument zionists think it is.
Well, she's technically correct because by her worldview my reaction of "Please don't hurt the children or my mother" would qualify as a bad reaction, so I would not be taking it well.
Yeah, clearly this person isn't concerned that her mother is still alive and probably at the same location by her own scenarios outline... Just bomb the hideout :D
How can you not see that this just furthers the conflict???
No wonder America was losing the Vietnam war from the moment it started.
And the war on terror
And the war on drugs
And the war on guns (lol I wish)
She claims not to understand why asking this question while standing next to the smoking ruin of a house with 6 dead kids in it might make people leap to conclusions about her motivations for asking it
I try to remind myself that there are entire people behind these bad takes, with their personality flaws and lack of info and their struggling to make sense of things, because otherwise I get too mad
This is the baseline the ruling class has created. If you've lived all your life taking that info for granted, as a default, these are the shit takes you'll make.
