    Really? You love militants who would probably rather kill you than have a coffee with you?

        I suspect a lot of people are unhappy and are looking for solutions. They aren’t evaluating their solutions, just latching onto the first things that make them feel like change is possible.

          This is the best explanation of anything I’ve read in years. I think you are spot on. There would be a lot less polarisation online if people understood this.

          I think people are looking outside their persona atomization and realizing the world is much worse than the hegemonic narrative would have us believe. As more information becomes available, old ideology declines. The smug comfort of white bros is disturbed when their moral authority is questioned. If they can’t make lazy jokes about having coffee in a genocide, is anything safe anymore?

      I mean, they are picking militants who are opposing genocide. Choosing ‘would rather kill you’ over ‘are killing you’ is logical in a limited context.

        Oh, trust me, those militants are very much pro-genocide, they just haven’t quite figured out a way to be successful at it.

          Oh, trust me

          No thanks, guy who thinks the average person in Hezbollah wants to inexplicably kill a random British person rather than have coffee with them.

      What the hell are you even talking about? Where do you people get the idea that Hezbollah and every other Islamist entity is like ISIS? Do you know a single thing about Lebanon???
