      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.

              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.

                    The “sides” originally compared are trump and Harris and their general approaches to governance - international diplomacy being a part of that overall equation and not the whole. Again, YOU FUNDAMENTALLY MISUNDERSTAND the original point with an inherent bias in your processing of information it seems.

                    First “liberal” is a general descriptor of personal philosophy and not a party, liberal transcends party affiliation as it’s a point on a spectrum within a party - you’re failing in trying to speak to “leftists” versus “democrats” or more accurately, establishment democrats specifically.

                    Next, you claim to be a leftist, but leftists have more reason than you in my experience (source: am walking, talking, protesting, voting leftist AND a rational adult who understands emergency triage enough to know you need to assess a situation and survive the small battles to win the larger conflict). Your position isn’t “leftist” it’s maybe ignorant, misinformed anarchy - you want to burn shit down because it hurts your brain to make a plan.

                    And you also seem to be fixated on America while not living here or being a citizen abroad, which is another layer to this whole exchange? Where is your passionate attack of Israel focused on specifics of their inflicted and ongoing genocide - nowhere. That’s because its similar for you to attack this middle layer and feel like you’re “helping” - you aren’t helping shit with your shallow, misdirected vitriol.
