Why would either of us be worried? We both agree that we disagree with a statement I did not make:

I don't think the comparison is heinous though. I just don't agree with it.

I also didn't think the game theory was applicable either and stated why.

IDK, I didn't argue that nations like the US and Israel follow the rules for a little while and then "meet fire with fire" if their opponents don't follow the rules. In fact, not only did I not argue that - you agreed with that argument! Now I'll admit I don't know for sure if he's saying they're still currently trying to follow the rules, or if they've decided to "meet fire with fire". That's why I addressed both potentialities. I tend to think this rule here seems invented by Israel so I'm not sure that means they're currently attempting to follow rules:

If you're saying they're now playing by the terrorist rules since they tried to not play by terrorist rules once then I'm really glad I'm not here arguing relative morality of either

Is this an example of this "follow all of the rules once" thing that you seem to be arguing Israel is currently attempting to do? Seems like it's not.

Not a fan of hypotheticals but would having a consulate bombed normally lead to a declaration of war?

You specifically have come here to this specific thread and accused me of antisemitism multiple times, so you can miss me Javy Baez swinging at the plate style with your ridiculously hypocritical virtue signaling.

However, my understanding is they view Iran's attack as a response to Israel's attack on Iran's consulate in Syria.

Lucky for you we have three untrained psychoanalysts who have never met or talked to the people to answer that question definitively.

These videos get hundreds of thousands, millions of views. Posters here help proliferate them. Sides consolidate further. All of those are purposes for what they're doing that aren't armchair remote psychoanalysis by people who aren't psychoanalysts that also virtue signal while accusing others of virtue signaling

They're using the digital tools you earlier declared made being in the street obsolete 2 posts ago.

The videos also serve to increase intra-group cohesion on both sides. This thread is a clear example. While you guys would like to do psychoanalysis on these folks, the sociological analysis is much more obvious and much less speculative about people's motives

They're satisfying a market demand. There's a strong demand for viral videos.

I love how the thinks he gets special rights of a legal system that agrees with him politically, including families of people in the legal system who aren't actually involved at all. Interesting two tier justice system he keeps complaining about. No one else gets that.

Congrats on the legend of your much higher morality than everyone else.

One difference is that the Gaza protesters garner hundreds more posts here than the truckers.

I usually just ignore all of them I've spend many years in downtown Ann Arbor and there's always protesting going on there

maybe one day the Gaza War thread will be about the Gaza War again

I hope he is heavily involved in his defense.

broadcast you say? Pls share if you can!

I wish there was a way to listen to this. It sounds like it was a specific section of the E Jean deposition, where he talked about..... you guessed it, famous people grabbing p what a despicable person

imagine losing a pr battle to people doing that lol

sounds like they made him wait this morning for 30 mins. Beautiful.

a lot of republic party callers to cspan this morning blaming a jury that doesn't exist yet of being biased. not to sound cynical but it's almost like republic party accusations of bias aren't' super well founded
