      Not related to the Israel–Palestine conflict, but I’m curious about your perspective here:

      I do not support any group that uses weapons against any other group, no matter what.

      Is this an absolute? For example, let’s say a group starts attacking another group, are they allowed to defend themselves with proportional force?

      Again, I’m not trying to get your views on any conflict in particular. I just like talking about these things and broadening my beliefs :)

          Yeah that’s how we beat the Nazis in ww2. We invested in their education infrastructure.

          You can prevent facism from taking root with a good education sure, but once colonialism or imperialism or facism are present, violence is exceptionally good at getting rid of it.

              we went in like America always does and blasted their brains out.

              I know, I was being sarcastic. What is your proposed solution to facists? Because if you’re pretending that you can just get rid of them, or colonial forces, or imperial forces without violence you’re delusional. Historically that hasn’t been the case. You can’t just shut your eyes and ignore the world you live in.

                  Ok but you’re still being kinda delusional. You want to vote hitler out? You want Vietnam and algeria and Haiti to vote the French out? Sometimes you have to use violence to stop the violence that someone else is doing.
