Better to die in silence than take other innocent people with you. — Echarmion
You want Israel, a genocidal state, to hold the exclusive means of violence. — StreetlightX
At least people like twoBit are clear minded in their shittyness - your liberal civility politics is the worst of both positions - one that plays enabler to genocide while pretending to call it an evil. An evil that you're so concerned about that your counsel is to 'just let it happen baby'. — StreetlightX
There's a reason that when they lined up the Nazis and the collaborators against the wall - the latter of whom always protested that they were just trying to make things bearable - they shot the collaborators first. — StreetlightX
I want violence to be useful. — Echarmion
Which, in the context of the open-air concentration camp that is Gaza, is indistinguishable from demanding that Israel alone has the exclusive rights to exercise violence. — StreetlightX
Your gatekeeping of violence does not take in some rarefied intellectual game-space where a genocided population gets the pleasure of picking when and how they enact resistance to a power that crushes them at every turn. — StreetlightX
Ah, the last bastion of the weasel - “I’m not actually talking about what’s going on in Palestine, I’m just war-gaming it for my intellectual edification, even as it has nothing to do with the realities of the situation”. “Also this doesn’t make a difference so who cares lol”. — StreetlightX
I don't see how you imagine that attributing to someone the "right" to commit useless violence helps them. — Echarmion
Except rhetoric like yours is routinely wheeled out precisely in order to uphold the conditions of atrocity, — StreetlightX
What exactly does 'helping' or not have to do with anything? — StreetlightX
You said a shit thing, and it remains shit no matter how hard you bloviate around it. No wonder that you've dropped it entirely in order to wonder in the weeds of irrelevance. — StreetlightX
You're the one who insists I'm "enabling genocide", that I'm sitting in some ivory tower, divorced from the actual situation. — Echarmion
Actually, you insisted on this after I pointed it out. Having you admit that you're literally talking about a fantasy is quite good enough in my book. It means you have nothing to say and, in the case that you do, it means nothing. — StreetlightX
What have I dropped? — Echarmion
Your shit take on Palestinian resistance - which, apparently, has nothing to do with actual Palestinians. — StreetlightX
Isreal will continue to genocide Palestinians regardless of rocket attacks. — StreetlightX
Whether they ‘help’ or not is - like the rest of your questions - is completely inconsequential. The focus on the rocket attacks is a sideshow, peddled by the propagandised and the enablers, — StreetlightX
who would demonstrably otherwise prefer they lay down and die in silence - which is literally something you said, you fucker, and not a ‘lie'. — StreetlightX
Which, again means: only Isreal can exercise violence. — StreetlightX
I'm sorry you're too stupid to reckon with the implications of your own words. — StreetlightX
hat you want is a literal oxymoron: a civilised violence. — StreetlightX
And even then, only on the part of the oppressed, considering your near silence - or at least disproportionate whining - when it comes to Isreali atrocities. — StreetlightX
No, what I want is practical measures — Echarmion
= what you want is for Palestinians to die in silence. — StreetlightX
I don’t need to want that. — StreetlightX
Because I would not presume to tell a genocided population how to exercise what little autonomy they have left, especially against a murderous state. I would not tell them to lay down and die, unlike some armchair shitstain. — StreetlightX
Why not? — Echarmion
Because I'm not an armchair shitstain. — StreetlightX
