Ships to Gaza incident

[notyoueither]

I care a lot less about the sensibilities of some overprivileged little toff than I do about 9 people dead for no good reason I can ascertain.

You pick a fine time to get paternalistic.

[KrazyHorse]

Do you even know what that word means?

[notyoueither]

Better than you, it seems.

[KrazyHorse]

No, apparently not.

[Kuciwalker]

Better than you, it seems.

Uh, no.

Paternalism = meddling in the affairs of others because you think you know better than they.
Paternalism != calling someone names because of a genuine moral deficiency on his part.

[Kuciwalker]

The idea (expressed by HC and others here) that the 9 people "deserved" to die is particularly disgusting.

[Hauldren Collider]

I don't think I actually said that ANYWHERE. Thanks for stuffing words into my mouth.

That said it is pretty much their own fault.

[Kuciwalker]

I don't think I actually said that ANYWHERE. Thanks for stuffing words into my mouth.

[19:56] HC: the point is that they are, in fact, anti semites
[19:56] HC: and
[19:56] HC: frankly
[19:57] HC: i think they're dead for quite a good reason
[19:57] HC: they tried to break the blockade

Key point: all human life has intrinsic moral value, even the lives of people who do or believe things you don't like.

[BlackCat]

I'll bet that they don't share bathrooms.

[Kuciwalker]

The idea that Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank, both recently and historically, somehow minimize suffering is completely absurd when you look at the actual casualty numbers. Israel places a far greater value on Israeli suffering than Palestinian suffering.

[Hauldren Collider]

I didn't actually say any of that, wtf?

[Al B. Sure!]

Kuci:

I seem to remember a poster a few years ago who used to post under the name skywalker who was not much different from HC
