That's because they literally are.
Imagine not knowing anything about something, talking out of your ass about it and then when given the opportunity to learn, choosing to be willfully ignorant. This kind of behavior disgusts me.
Well, we’re all that way about most everything. There are literally an unlimited number of things to know about. I’d much rather recognize I’ ignorant in it and consciously decide which ones I’m going to continue to be ignorant on; when I can.
If there was a clear answer here, I’d have gotten similar stories/perspectives from my queries. Maybe one with better trustworthy references. Instead I got two versions of history which each neglect certain parts, both of which appear to be factually correct, and both of which try to make the other side look like monsters. Since I am going to die one day, without ever being able to impact this situation, it is reasonable to bow out.
(As an example of where this has worked before, similar prior questions on things UBI, Georgian tax, and Taiwan have changed my mind.)
Yeah, no. Speak for yourself. It's just an excuse to be ignorant.
There are actually pretty clear answers to "what caused the Israeli-Palestinian conflict", but you've already demonstrated that you're unwilling to learn about it, despite efforts from other comrades who have more patience than I.
Another bullshit cop out excuse to be ignorant. Must be nice to be that privileged to live like this.
