Every day they get bolder and more dangerous. If we keep tolerating these terrorist recruits and radicalized extremists then soon we're going to be awash in violence.

MAGA storms the capitol, MHGA storms the white house. Same nuts, same radicalism, just different sides of political extremism!

I can and do condemn terrorism, dip shit. I'm just not playing into your bait and you're so mad about it lol

Have fun jacking off to your ego

[Edit] Just to clarify, you think indiscriminately bombing civilians is the appropriate response to an act of terrorism, yes or no? Oh am I putting words in your mouth? Too bad I am asking you to clarify your stance! And you won't say that bombing civilians is bad! Checkmate!

Bombing civilians is bad!

Israel is not doing that. They're trying to destroy Hamas, who collocates to use civilians as human shields. For your enlightenment, this is a war-crime. Civilian deaths are one of Hama's most effective tactics. They've created many terrorist sympathizers and radicalized a lot of low information kids like yourself! Civilian deaths are on Hamas and their supporters who shelter and support them.

And yes, if this is the first war you've ever seen or studied, then you might not know that collateral damage happens. Definitely don't learn about either of the world wars (spoiler alert: massive collateral damage). Compounding that is the fact that Gaza is the densest urban fighting seen in our lifetime. In fantasy hatred land, maybe you don't understand that this actually significantly impacts any conflict there. However, if Israel were indiscriminately bombing civilians, then there'd be a LOT more than ~10,000 casualties (literally magnitudes more). This kind of stupid nonsense is exactly why a non-echo chamber environment is necessary, so you can't pretend that there is intentional bombing of civilians—regardless of what your Hamas allies tell you. And so getting called out on that nonsense can’t get muted or banned in order to shield the Hamas recruits from reading dissent.

Lmao I'm looking forward your next essay about the WMDs in civilian camps, how Israel needs to bomb them, and 20 civilian deaths are fine as long as 1 militant dies in the process. Enjoy your safe space

I think you probably need to go back to your safe space and echo chambers. I happily tolerate your nonsense and even insult. That's why your posts are here. That's why you're not banned. That's why you're not muted. You're even free to make posts, as is anyone else even if they duper disagree with me.

If it makes you feel good venting and attacking me, go for it. I'd probably mute you for doing it to other users if it was too uncivil, but say what you want to me.

An echo chamber or safe space wouldn't let you express a dissenting view or even let you be a member. I even tolerate your low-grade trolling.

If you're looking for a ban, only hate speech or advocating for violence and genocide is going to do that.
