Why should someone who is already breaking the law also enjoy the power of legal coercion to force you from a place you had the legal right to be, though?

“Well, we don’t want the situation to escalate. Someone could get hurt.” Why should the law protect only the welfare of criminals? Of the person actively breaking the law?

The issue with “Stand your Ground” laws is that the alternative is nonsensical if your view expands to include the rights and welfare of people who act consistent with the law.

I think it just takes a not particularly reflective cynicism. "Banks actually steal from us" is just an edgelord "good things are actually bad" take.

Every time I've put money in a bank, I've gotten out more than I put in. Where's the "robbery"?

I don't really follow this. If he actually doesn't want Twitter to be a thing, there's a button in the data center that turns off all the servers. He can just push that. There's no law against it and he's the majority shareholder - what's he going to do, sue himself?

Nothing's "wrong" with me. I'm telling you what is obviously true. Israel is fighting to preserve human life against enemies that completely disregard it.

No thinking person can look at what's going on in Gaza and disagree. I don't see how that's even possible.

But they don't have to drop flyers at all! Indeed they probably shouldn't, in the hopes of catching Hamas by surprise. But even after Oct 7th they're trying as hard as they practically can to keep civilian casualties to a minimum even though they could end the war against Hamas a lot faster, and with fewer Israeli casualties, if they didn't.

Israeli Jews are bleeding in the streets to keep Gazans safe, and their repayment is unabated, universal antisemitism among Gazans. Incredible. Is there a more ungrateful people in existence than the Palestinians?

Technically "burger" is short for "Hamburg-style ground beef sandwich"

Did you reply to the wrong comment? Or something?

Kind of like no independent journalists can investigate in Gaza about Israeli-built tunnels under a hospital under IDF control, right?

Kind of the opposite, in fact? The IDF brought in independent journalists to the tunnels, proving that they'd been right about them all along.

I've never understood how dropping a flyer on someone's house letting them know they're going to be bombed stops Hamas.

You can't move a tunnel entrance. Hamas can run away, but they're still going to get a building collapsed on top of the tunnel entrance.
