Fascinating. The person you replied to unleashed a barrage of toxic misinformation, including absurd claims about nobody being tortured on Oct7, and that Israel killed the music festival attendees, among other propaganda nuggets.
They also frame Oct7 as a strategic positive, based on the "killing" of normalized relations between Israel and Arab countries. You replied to a pro-Hamas supporter, basically. I don't want to debate it now, but you were doing well countering the misinformation about the rape allegations, and about "debunking" in general. Then you added an unnecessary evaluation of my post.

- exodust 3y agoIs "more right" even possible? I don't want to be "more right"! Static charge emerges from the process of disagreement on these and other crisis subjects. Calm diplomacy is main goal but occasionally something unexpectedly ferocious latches to your ankle, and calmly ushering the threat from your ankle becomes the lesser option of a more animated response.
