The Enlightened Centrist who absolutely MUST make sure others know that they are. For smugness.
I strongly believe that in this case, being on the side of the civilians in all cases is not enlightened centrism...it's just the correct side... Do you think the civilians of one side deserve retribution?
Siding with the Israeli government is to support Netanyahu and his fascistic genocide of the Palestinian people
Siding with Hamas (Hamas =/= Palestine) is to support violent extremists.
I never took a side. I called out smugness. Not everything in life boils down to two sides that people MUST be on.
I don't think I ever said or implied that there was only two sides to this conflict or anything else in life and if that can be inferred from my comment then I need to edit it for clarity.
But to be clear, you did take a side. It just happens to be against whatever smugness you're interpreting from those who are only for the civilians in this conflict.
A fan of genocide has entered the chat.
I commented about smugness and nothing else. Try gathering more brain cells.
Oh no! People want other people to work things out where everyone is accounted for and taken care of. How evil. Big ick.
Fuck off with your pompous ass.
There's an old proverb that goes 'Better to be an enlightened centrist than a miserable prick'.
Not sure what reminded me of that.
Can you comprehend this is about having to announce yourself? People have an incessant NEED to point out what enlightened centrists they are. Its up there with vegans always letting you know they are.
Hint: some of us also may hold similar views as you, but we don't go around announcing it at every opportunity.
The only one here running around announcing themselves here is you.
Don't worry Bud, we all know you're a moron. You can stop telling us.
I'M A MORON!
