My point is that you gloss over the suffering of innocent people while excusing the actions of the respective murderers, just as people on the other side do. Namely, as a necessary and inevitable consequence of the other leaders’ actions. You argue structurally against the innocent victims using the same logic as the supporters of the IDF.

It is a reversal of perpetrator and victim to appease your own conscience. An exaggerated and thus dehumanising tribalism that draws legitimacy for crimes against innocent people from the crimes of another group of actors. It is a misanthropic and cynical logic with which any atrocity could be justified (which is, of course, done constantly around the world).

Hamas and IDF supporters are equally malicious and disgusting. The murder of innocent people is always and fundamentally wrong. Leftists must reject and fight it.

It is one thing when innocent people die in armed conflicts. That is bad enough. But it is much worse when innocent people are deliberately targeted. That is simply inexcusable and not the fault of the Netanyahu government. Hamas cannot claim to be resisting when its targets are not the groups or institutions that oppress the Palestinians. One can only come to such a conclusion if one adopts Hamas’ interpretation of who the oppressors are. Namely, all Jews or Israelis by virtue of their origin.

I do not think we can agree on this. My view of humanity is fundamentally different from yours. Discussing normative principles is pointless. However, I find your attitude so cynical and appalling that I no longer wish to engage in further debate. I very rarely do this, but I have now blocked you.

Ukraine has targeted and killed civilians in the Russia Ukraine war, so I guess you also believe that Ukraine can’t claim it’s resisting Russia? (Rhetorical question, of course, I know you apply a different standard to white people.)

As opposed to your whining about it in purple prose, which is very important and note worthy.

No, I understand the point just fine

I explained my position multiple times. You never countered these arguments, you just went “nuh uh!”

Lol. I countered them just fine, hence why you just want “nuh uh! You clearly don’t understand what I mean“

I asked you as a hypothetical. It was meant to verify the cause for your gross historical ignorance and genocidal tendencies.

“I wasn’t being ableist! I was just saying that mental disability causes ‘genocidal tendencies’”

*opponent

You want to eradicate a nation. That’s genocide. You’re a proponent of genocide.

You want to rape children. That’s paedophilia. You’re a paedophile.

The most stupid users I come across said are using Windows.

Understood :)

You can achieve essentially the same effect via blocking. Bypassing defederation instead requires using a different instance.

It isn’t, I have active accounts on a handful of instances atm.

There is no genocide in Ukraine. Ukranians are Russians.

They’re fighting because the US made them. They would be perfectly happy Russians if not for NATO.

And this is why normal users look at .ml with disdain haha
