Everything is a political maneuver you idiot. What is the point you're trying to make? You're just engaging in a misdirection yourself.
I don't care what "political maneuver" is being done when that maneuver involves calling a fucking genocide a genocide.
What a useless and vague comment with absolutely no substance.
Also, fucking "manover" lol. That's not a typo or autocorrect. That's just stupidity.
English is not my first language, so excuse the mistake - on a high horse we're seated aren't we?
SA is the country that doesn't want to imprison Putin because of reasons. And don't get me wrong, if our chancellor wouldn't I am the first to report a crime and try my level best to get a result.
I am also not at all trying to defend the fascist leader of Israel, he needs to stand trial. However I am weary that SA would not pursue this matter any further if they achieve what they want. My point is that they pursue this not because it's true - it is - but because they're opposed to the USA. While I cheer for every jab TACO takes, this might very well just lead to disinterest.
But yeah I get that it could be seen as a whatabout and gaslighting take - that was not my intention however.
Also chill the fuck out, is it necessary to insult from the get-go?
Yes. It's necessary to belittle and insult these liberal Zionist "both sides" or "this is complex" talking points. Full stop.
I would say the same thing of people saying "America isn't fighting the Nazis for the right reasons. It's a political maneuver for their own interests". If they said thatin the 1940s I'd call them an idiot. I would tell them to shut the fuck up and stop embarrassing themselves.
You can say something that is true while still being a fucking moron. Grow up. Someone's gonna insult you; and definitely on the internet. My emotional language doesn't make me wrong. It makes me upset that we still have idiots like you trying to distract in every stupid thread.
I'm not trying to change your mind. You don't have to agree. I'm showing people how you deal with these absolutely useless distractions. And sometimes that's being insulting to someone that wants to be the "well actually" guy 648 days into a genocide.
Both can be true at the same time.
Yes. It can be true that it's raining outside; and at the same time my house is burning down.
When someone suggests my priority should be to "find my rain coat before leaving the house" I tell them they're a fucking idiot.
I love this analogy. May I steal it?
Thanks. Absolutely.
No one is telling you to forget one over the other.
I am! I'm saying it's fucking irrelevant and idiotic to talk about grabbing a raincoat when your house is burning down.
"Solely" implies that it's the only thing. So it literaly can not be true as long as one other thing is true.
