@Palestin_Jew83@Skeletonghost00@MapoTofuAddict@cranachstan@crispypadthai@JamesSurowiecki I see why you’re a piker fan. I’m not saying the wall is the moral height of Rosa parks. I’m saying it has a lot of historical significance in the history of I/P negotiations and not knowing it after “studying” the conflict for ten years makes him a retard. Have a good one
@Palestin_Jew83@Skeletonghost00@MapoTofuAddict@cranachstan@crispypadthai@JamesSurowiecki Who cares if you care about it?The people negotiating peace care quite a lot. Covering Israel-Palestine for 10 years and not knowing the Western Wall is like covering US civil rights for 10 years and not knowing Rosa Parks. Not a universal standard, but it’s a telling gap.
@NeverMagat@BenMcCombe@mehdirhasan lol it’s kind of telling that for AQ you are looking at direct killing of civilians, and for the US you’re talking about foreign aid and medicine that they used to give and then stopped.
@laudandusest@demc961758@TheOmniLiberal Do you think he was genuinely telling a random who DMd him that he thinks nazi pedos or whatever this group is are cool? He’s talked about being worried about him in clips I’ve seen. He was sarcastically saying “fuck off” by giving a positive response
@laudandusest@demc961758@TheOmniLiberal why would you expect public comment on it? Clearly his son is on a bad path and he knows that. Should he be doing streamed interventions? What exactly do you want to see? Hes mentioned off-hand he has been trying to talk to him behind the scenes.
@Pakalak25@ThatGuyAbl3@TheOmniLiberal This is just orientalist. Palestinians have the most reasons to be antisemitic. They aren’t going to be the first state in the region in the last century treat their minority Jews well. Not to mention, neither group wants one state.
@Dialoguealways@TheOmniLiberal ...the thread you are on is about how debates aren't worth it bc they benefit the right more and aren't of substance. Presumably this means other forms are better to convince ppl. I guess you were just typing random facts, since none have substance
Jordan Peterson would be proud
@chumbwumba As if any party would say they don’t want people’s basic needs met lol
“I’m just a wittle healthcare boi
(let’s create a uni party system that jails political opposition while having no principles as long as we oppose the west)”
But sure, ppl hate you bc you want healthcare
@Dialoguealways@TheOmniLiberal You made it sound like online debates aren’t worth engaging in because of this flaw. If all forms of online popular online content suffer from this then what exactly was the point you were making? At least in debates the lack of substance can be pointed out live.
@Dialoguealways@TheOmniLiberal IMO it isn’t any worse than any other popular political content on the internet. It just gives the creators an excuse to say whatever they want in their hug boxes without needing the knowledge to defend it
@Dialoguealways@TheOmniLiberal You said “most of the time” as in it uniquely plagues debates. Do you think video essays or solo podcasts, for example, are making arguments on substance instead of mostly rhetoric?
@Dialoguealways@TheOmniLiberal I don't understand why people think this is unique to debates as if other forms of communication can't use bad faith arguments or pure rhetorical tricks. At least in a debate, they can be challenged in the moment. Debates are a tool and can be weilded well or poorly
@BeezerSmeezer@Neural_Ned Yes and that’s silly. You’re not following the thread. They only brought it up because people like you would say the credit card declining would be equivalent to VISA killing them. The negative can’t be killing them without the positive also being saving them.
