I’m just seeing one image of some random soldier holding a necklace. Am I not seeing something?
I mean, fuck that dude, but name a military who hasn’t sacked a town.
Doesn't make it okay tho. The goal is 0 military who sacked a town.
Well, whose goal? Mine? Yes. Yours? Yes. Everyone in every government using people as pawns in their sick little feud? No.
Agree on being skeptical, not because it’s not plausible, but because we should be skeptical of the firehouse of misinformation going on right now. There’s no journalistic source attached to this, as far as I can see.
But strong disagree on the whataboutism of “name a military that hasn’t done x”, as a way to justify horrible behavior. That’s just depraved.
Saying I’m justifying something is putting your words in my mouth. Don’t gaslight, it’s beneath you.
Speaking of gaslighting! “Who hasn’t done x” is a construction whose only purpose is to minimize how horrible x is.
Nope. I’m saying they’re all trash. Equally. It’s very horrible, not to be minimized. But on that same note: I’m not as shocked as OP wants me to be. Are you?
To say “they’re all trash” is to minimize the horrible behavior as commonplace, and the party committing it as not especially worthy of scorn. For example: “Germany shouldn’t have committed genocide, but what country hasn’t committed genocide?” This is a statement that minimizes the seriousness of genocide. It is a shitty thing to say.
It’s a shitty way to misinterpret my comment. Maybe next time ask more before making a judgement call. Adios. 🚫
It's ok to be wrong, we all are sometimes. Just keep an open mind and stay positive, no worries mate.
Wrong about what
What the fuck is wrong with you?
I’m saying fuck the guy, if that text is the truth. But I’m just seeing one dude in the video holding a single piece of jewelry. Passing it around, and only the cameraman seems to be really into it.
Besides, this is basically a twitter video. And, I don’t trust anything I see on Twitter.
Be careful who you scream at, because I’m definitely not a fan of warfare.
We're talking about an army that's actively committing a genocide right now.
I’d argue that’s almost every army. War is wrong. Every army kills. Every army sacks. Pieces of shit for sure
I'd argue that's a false equivalence that downplays the scale of atrocities Israel is committing. For context, Israel killed more civilians in a month in Gaza than Russian army killed in Ukraine in over a year of fighting.
It’s not a competition.
Nobody said it was a competition. Nice going there missing the point entirely though.
Sorry, are you talking to yourself?
I'm missing the point of my own comment, is that what you came up with there? 😂
Pot, Kettle.
You're about as coherent as a Markov chain. Bye.
While Markov chains involve probabilistic transitions and may seem random at a glance, they do follow specific rules and probabilities. They're not inherently incoherent or illogical; they just operate under a different kind of logic that's based on probability rather than deterministic cause and effect.
Comparing human communication to a mathematical model like a Markov chain is a bit of a stretch. Human speech, even when it seems disorganized, usually has more context and underlying intent than the transitions in a Markov chain.
Bye
I'll upgrade that sentence to chatGPT level sophistry
It still beat you. Byyyeeeeee
As long as you feel good about yourself that's all that matters little buddy.
