@fleur_de_irk@Koz112096@ryangrim We only have about 400 followers between us. No one is going to read this. I’m not going to change your mind as you are committed to a narrative- like we all are. Now that I’m paying attention, mine is: it’s apparent 10/7 is being used as an opportunity to decimate, not respond.
@nickgillespie This is a great notion. And I don’t disagree. But ‘help the needy’ is a nose-in-the-tent. Do you believe the needy can only be helped though Gov programs?
@fleur_de_irk@Koz112096@ryangrim 1) Israel has killed more people in Gaza, including women & children, during the cease fire period than the 1200 killed by Hamas. I will not defend or excuse Hamas, but Israel’s response has been grossly disproportionate.
@jschnike@NSFW_Data_Guy@ComicDaveSmith Well thanks for nothing. Those of us that don’t believe in nation building, aggressive interventionist policies, or regime change operations could very well end up as fodder in a blowback campaign you endorsed with your ‘reap what you sow mentality.’
@fleur_de_irk@Koz112096@ryangrim Parsing words does not change the outcome. One could argue that the mass civilian casualties as well as the catastrophic destruction in Gaza from the concerted, strategic military objective is more devious and evil than if it were ‘indiscriminate’.
@Koz112096@ryangrim I think it’s a matter of duration and optics. Selectively and ‘surgically’ bombing for optics sake, but make it over the course of 3 years and you’ve got your indiscriminate part.
@BlakeSNeff Like most religions, the folks w/ the most to lose from the presumptive narrative get the most ‘exercised’ at the questioning. And while taking a premise to the point of paranoia does happen, it’s usually when one has been betrayed (often repeatedly) that desconstruction begins.
@PonderingAnon@foeduspactum@IvanRaiklin@elonmusk@realDonaldTrump I understand how difficult it is to see things clearly in this complex world. But objectively, Trump is compromised. His actions are completely inconsistent with his campaign promises, which were hopeful. That’s not taking any bait, it’s just using my faculties. MSM is trash.
