    Absolutely. Remember everyone: some of the people wearing your colors are only pretending to be on your side.

    Don’t evaluate sources for loyalty; evaluate ideas for validity.

    Know your own values, and get good at thinking critically. Then double check everything that you think, and that others are saying, to find out if there are any bugs or malicious code, changing outcomes away from what it should be per your values.

      Yup.

      I fully support a cease fire, but I also put ZERO blame on Biden for what another democratic country does.

      People blaming Biden for Israel are either trolls or massive morons that do not understand geopolitics.

        People really put America in the center of everything and act like they must do everything while also being angry at them for being the international police.

        Russia has a hand in Israel and the middle eastern conflicts as does China and India and Saudi Arabia. Why is Joe Biden responsible for everything? Congress is more responsible if anything deserves scrutiny.

        Calling him Genocide Joe because of another country’s actions just exposes someone’s stupidity and inability to view situations as complexly as they actually are.

        That said fuck Israel and Bibi can suck my turds I’d toss a brick at that fascist fuck if given the chance.

        Exactly this. And they’re beyond reasoning with. Best to just ask them who has a better chance to win in November and watch them squirm out of the conversation.

        It’s a lot easier to call them out for what they are this way than it is to argue with them.
