you: "i believe that the sky is blue"
me: "yeah but it depends on how we define believe, and how we define blue, along with how we classify the concept of "seeing" color."
you: "well you're just a fucking retard who doesn't understand how perception works, you must be denying the concept of blue existing in its entirety"
i'm disagreeing with the shitty way you word your statements, and then reconstructing them to provide my answer to what that question realistically should be.
And to be clear here, you very subtly diverged from using the term "war crimes" and transitioned into using "crimes against humanity" Which are two VERY different things. We agree that there are war crimes taking place. You keep trying to semantically undermine my statements and arguments so that you can say "i agree with you" even though it makes me look hypocritical, specifically through the mechanism of silent semantic corrections. Arguably this is equivocation, because you're subtly stating that war crimes = crimes against humanity.
yet you've done it, again, and again, and again, and again. For some reason you keep fucking responding to me, even though you just keep digging yourself a deeper hole for me to classify your argumentative mechanisms into.
you also keep (amusingly) accusing me of being too frail to simply, make my own decision, even though literally all you do is (incorrectly) reiterate what other people have said. Have you been to gaza? Or israel? No? That's weird.
