Oh, you mean a primary operative of the ANC that pushed hard to start their guerilla efforts? lmao
I haven't said that, actually. You have confused yourself again.
Complexity is real, but this topic is not. You are just incurious and, like other liberals, decide to whitewash that ignorance as a recognition of (unstated, unidentifiable) complexity. A cop-out, basically. Notice that you have basically nothing to say about the alleged complexity. Nothing that actually challenges anything I've said.
Okay bro just one more toke bro. You are so confused, I don't even know where to begin. When did we begin discussing materialism or philosophy? Buddy, we are stuck at the basics of things like not lying and remembering what we are talking about and how you should read before sharing opinions.
I don't know what you're referring to and I don't care to try to figure out out. Be clearer in your thoughts and words or use the quote feature.
I didn't say anything like that either lmao. You seem to have no idea what is happening most of the time, it's like you don't even read what I said.
I've already addressed this. I will wait for you to respond to what I said instead of endlessly repeating yourself.
Same as before, I don't know what you're referring to and don't care to go and figure it out. Use the quote feature or organize your thoughts.
I am having a very honest conversation, but it is in no way intellectual. We are, as I said, stuck at very basic things like, "is it okay to lie?" and, "do I need to actually go and try to learn things before having and sharing my half-baked opinions?" and, "maybe what will help is a series of confused generalizations about faith and god and philosophy of materialism with no relation to what anyone else is talking about". We could only ever have an intellectual conversation if you were in any way interested in an intellectual topic. To be perfectly frank, this topic does not require much in the way of an intellectual discussion, it is mostly about establishing basic facts of which you are entirely ignorant and obstinately refuse to engage with our educate yourself about, but you do seem to think that I am at fault for not accepting your nonsense fabrications you offer as substitute.
I'm not certain that I've even mentioned Hamas in this conversation. I certainly wouldn't reduce the Palestinian resistance to only Hamas. I think you are just projecting your own lightweight understanding of the topic onto me.
But you have no understanding of what is going on. Nearly everything is clearly a revelation to you. There is rarely anything concrete or specific in what you say and when there is it is usually wrong or misleading. When I provide concrete specifics you just make things up to be contrarian and rescue your prior fibbing. You are acting in the exact opposite way that you are currently claiming.
Agent? What? I of course stand with the Palestinian resistance, this is obvious and I in no way hide it. And propaganda is just an attempt to convince others of political positions through argument and presentation. We all engage in it. But mine is accurate, informed, and just.
Unfortunately you have decided that the important thing here is your ego and not, say, the Palestinians themselves. God forbid you learn anything about them.
