This is how you describe the mass slaughter of innocents.
May you be gently poked in the ribs.
You're purposefully missing the point. Read and think.
I don't give a shit what "point" you think you're making while minimizing the mass slaughter of innocents.
Minimizing is you've perception through misinterpretation. You're a child and I'm not minimizing the genocide that Israel is actively perpetrating.
Right, only a child misinterpreting would think that comparing a genocide to "getting poked gently in the ribs" is minimizing it.
Most reasonable liberal.
Showing your ass, buddy
How so? I'm not the one comparing mass slaughter to getting poked in the ribs.
Well, your "liberal" comment to start, but more importantly, your repeated, performative missing of the point of the original statement. That wasn't the comparison made. All of your "counterpoints" center back to your same core misunderstanding of the original statement. Doesn't slow you down a tick though, does it?
Why would calling you a liberal be "showing my ass?" Liberals are supporters of the capitalist status quo. I'm not a liberal because I'm a leftist.
I have not "misinterpreted" anything, willfully or otherwise. You compared the current situation, where both sides support genocide, to a hypothetical where one side is "gently poking you in the ribs." That is a minimization of genocide. It's possible that you misunderstood my criticism - that comparison is inherently minimizing genocide regardless of your point.
