    How is the idea that two evils can fight each other so hard to understand? Not all fights are between a good and a evil.

      Yeah and they also forget that something evil can have elements or components that arent evil. You wont kill every employee of a company because the ceo is evil. You wont kill every palestanian or israeli because the IDF and hamas are terrorist organizations.

      I think it is difficult for children to understand nuance like that. Aren’t cartoons always very obvious about who is in the right?

      Seriously. There are also people on Lemmy that think anyone who has sympathy for civilians also support terrorists.

      How absolutely fucking brain-dead do you have to be to not understand that killing civilians is wrong? You can hate the rulers of Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah while simultaneously hoping that Israeli, Palestinian, and Lebanese civilians don’t get hurt.

      This isn’t rocket science.

      Reality is a team sport, to some people. The conservative worldview is defined by interpersonal loyalty. There is some rightful order to things, and it’s your job to justify and promote that, by stringing together argument-shaped sentences. They think that’s all anyone’s doing.

      And yes, I would call tankies conservatives. The word doesn’t refer to right-wing policies. It means “well somebody’s gotta be king.” They use leftist language, and absorb some leftist motivation, but any of it and all of it will go out the window for the social game of maintaining loyalty.

      It is fights between arbitrary stance with no factual evidence and arbitrary stance with no factual evidence.

      Actually it sounds a lot like a holly war
