@0dCaiman @I_Artorius @CantEverDie It is infinitely less embarrassing to behave like I’m behaving than to believe the shit you believe so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@0dCaiman @I_Artorius @CantEverDie > [briefly taking a break from violently intubating yourself on Sam Huntington’s cock] “some people’s world view is too constrained by an American perspective”

@0dCaiman @I_Artorius @CantEverDie People can just not say two of the three words they said if you’re just willing to decide they didn’t say them.

[Walt Benjameme @cthuchoo]

@0dCaiman @I_Artorius @CantEverDie No, because you seem to be really invested in treating the obvious truth that some Shias and some Sunnis want to kill eachother in some contexts as some unique, non-contingent, irreducible, supersedingly singular historical force.

[Walt Benjameme @cthuchoo]

@0dCaiman @I_Artorius @CantEverDie Sure they do, about as much as Catholics and Protestants. It’s almost like the intensity of sectarian violence is largely downstream of material/historical/political conditions and conflicts. And anything can be a non-idpol argument if you just decide you dont want it to be

[Walt Benjameme @cthuchoo]

@0dCaiman @I_Artorius @CantEverDie Once again, your opponents can feel and think anything you want if you’re just willing to make it the fuck up.

[Walt Benjameme @cthuchoo]

@0dCaiman @I_Artorius @CantEverDie I think it’s a transparently dumb as fuck gambit to reposition goalposts into your preferred rhetorical territory, and I’m rigourously rejecting your incessant attempts at said transparently dumb as fuck gambit. So now you’re calling me sensitive I guess.

[Walt Benjameme @cthuchoo]

@0dCaiman @I_Artorius @CantEverDie because arguing fractally incoherent idpol positions in bad faith is the comfort zone for smug sophists.

[Walt Benjameme @cthuchoo]

@0dCaiman @I_Artorius @CantEverDie factional violence sorting out over existing cultural and religious fault lines, especially when those fault lines have been actively encouraged and cultivated, is, y’know, the historical norm, dipshit.

[Walt Benjameme @cthuchoo]

@0dCaiman @I_Artorius @CantEverDie My point is the fucking onion was making jokes about how destabilizing it would be. Anyone with half a brain knew what happened could happen, and anyone with a quarter of a brain would have made none of the myriad idiotic choices the US made after the invasion that guaranteed it

[Walt Benjameme @cthuchoo]

@0dCaiman @I_Artorius @CantEverDie And specifically, in a legal sense, the “but-for” test is the most relevant concept here.

@0dCaiman @I_Artorius @CantEverDie And that only an idiot, or someone (and here we come full circle) being world historically willfully obtuse in the service of a transparently bad faith reading, would ever be confused by this common and simple linguistic construction?

[Walt Benjameme @cthuchoo]

@0dCaiman @I_Artorius @CantEverDie Leftists can think anything if you just fucking make it up that they think that.

[Walt Benjameme @cthuchoo]

@0dCaiman @I_Artorius @CantEverDie Wait, are you not aware that, in a coloquial setting, “[Noun] [is so singularly responsible for the circumstances that produced X that they can effectively be said to have have directly [verb]ed X]” is often shortened to “[Noun] [verb]ed X” for brevity and conversational clarity?

[Walt Benjameme @cthuchoo]

@0dCaiman @I_Artorius @CantEverDie 2. My dude, you are *literally* arguing the identity of those involved in acts of political violence supercedes the relevance of the proximate political causes of that political violence 3.

[Walt Benjameme @cthuchoo]

@0dCaiman @I_Artorius @CantEverDie 1. Lmao yes they fucking did. I personally knew like 3 christians and a “pagan” who signed up to go to Iraq to “kill Arabs” for “doing 911”. A globalized conflict in the birthplace of civilization sucked in ppl with cultural allegiances to parties in that conflict?! wowtrvthnuke
