Chris Hedges - This Way for the Genocide, Ladies and Gentlemen

[wnylib]

165. Bit of hyperbole there.

All the Palestinians are not being massacred.

Nobody is killing 2+ million Palestinians.

When you talk like that, you won't persuade people to anything other than 1) applause from those who already agree with you, or, 2) opposition from people who see the obvious inaccuracy in your statement.

If you object to Israel going after Hamas, then just say so. Just say that you don't believe that eliminating Hamas is worth the damage to Palestinian lives and property that is a result of the Israeli war against Hamas.

If you believe that it's better to leave Hamas in charge in Gaza, just say so.

You need to use persuasive facts, not hyperbole that is transparently false.

You already have a credibility problem with me because you are siding with Chris Hedges, who calls himself a socialist and an anarchist. I see no value in pure socialism, which does not work in reality. Some socialist programs are effective and good for a society, but not 100% pure socialism. As for anarchy, it is so opposite of socialism (and democracy and civilization) that I don't see how one person can reconcile both in his beliefs.

Take time to think about that, or ignore it if you want. I just wanted to pass it along to you. Your hyperbole tells me that you are not someone to hold an ongoing conversation with, so I am moving on.
