E.g., let’s not forget the elephant in the room:

Hamas’ slaughter of approximately 1200 civilians.

Yeah 1200 looks pretty small next to the 40000 Palestinians murdered by isreal, the 80% of housing destroyed by Israeli bombs along with every single hospital in Gaza, while Israel also literally shoots fleeing children in the head. Sometimes actions have consequences.

“Sometimes actions have consequences” perfectly describes what you’re seeing in Gaza. You’re on the right track, but you just need to reflect on what you said more deeply.

And let’s not forget the reality on the ground:

That Hamas hide from retribution by intermingling with the general population.

What is Israel supposed to do? Die off 1200 people at a time, as a result of terrorist attacks they can’t respond to?

So very clearly you are pro genocide, we don't need to continue anymore

iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social•94 days ago

It’s very clear that I never said or implied that.

And it’s also clear that you’re trying to bait me into arguing over something I made perfectly clear I didn’t come here to comment on.

Listen, dumbass, you can't speak isreali "human shields" propaganda, pretend 1200 Israelis justify the eradication of the Palestinians, and then back off like "I'm against both sides and I don't want to comment on it". Don't start conversations you can't think yourself out of.

If your emotions weren’t overriding your reasoning right now, it would be totally clear to you that I didn’t start any conversation about Israel.

Go back and read. Scroll up. It’s all there as evidence that can’t be edited.

So yes, I’m perfectly fine with you ending the tangent you started right here.

Return to my original post: “Upvoting someone more doesn’t make them right.”

iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social•94 days ago

The belief that “more upvotes makes someone more correct” is emblematic of leftist politics.

It’s interesting (and amusing) to me that leftists apply this reasoning even when their ideas compete in the unfair venue of an echo chamber favoring their talking points.
