David: war crimes are wrong no matter who commits them. Targeting hospitals is wrong; starving civilians is wrong; collective punishment is wrong. Framing this as "you know the rules" simply obscures the moral issues here.

Thank you. Masks are part of a costume, like desert-tone camouflage uniforms in cities. They're not practical, but they do amp up the people wearing them. They allow the cops to pretend they're doing important and dangerous things, rather than beating up on defenseless people.

Speeches are nice. Actions matter now. Do what little you can while you still can. Stop fucking around.
