If Israel makes a justification - the libs will cling to that however flimsy or even nonsensical it is.
Libs are so cynical and sarcastic - but only if Trump is involved. And sometimes they don't trust the GOP. But if the source is something they consider to be an authority figure like Israel - it seems no lie can be too big.
It's always some strange place that makes no sense with the additionally weird ways the IDF presents their "evidence". They don't give a fuck how ridiculous they seem and how implausible everything looks.
The IDF says they found a gun next to an MRI machine. I'm not a guy gun or a physist but that seems like a great way to cause an gun accident. And there's the hinky video in that case. But I can't quite follow what The Guardian is saying about it. Did the spokesman show it to fake journos?
Yeah, libs are just completely divorced from reality at this point. I think about a conversation I had with a lib once, where I tried to explain that the DPRK is a poor, struggling nation, and not a cartoon fantasy land, and his response was to say it actually was a cartoon fantasy land and refused to believe anything other than the most absurd propaganda about it (I wasn't even trying to convince him it was a good place, I was just trying to convince him it was a "standard evil dictatorship" compared to the Saturday morning cartoon villain that their leadership usually is portrayed as.)
Once thing I've noticed a lot more since October is how so many libs apply this not just to NK, but to every "enemy" country. They are so fiction-brained that they cannot actually imagine other people living their lives. To them a "hamas agent" is an evil faceless mook, like one of those henchman for Cobra Commander or something who exist solely to kick puppies and be bad guys. They're just so far gone that I'm honestly not sure how to even approach it anymore. How can you convince someone living in a fantasy where they are the special noble hero saving the world with their facebook likes and reddit upvotes that they are not actually a special hero and just a regular person, living in the real world?
Why would they ever choose to accept an idea for which the ramifications are so awful?
If they're not a special hero, if they're not a main character, if the world isn't built on fairness and merit and justice, then why do they have all these luxuries and benefits they have "earned" and "deserve"?
That is a dark and terrible question to ponder.
Like most of the people here from the west, I used to be a "left-lib" type with this exact mentality, I'm still trying to figure out why I realised how awful it all is, and how I accepted that. It's a slow process I think. It doesn't happen in a day. I shouldn't be worried if I can't just convince someone to re-examine their entire worldview through a single conversation. That's some real lib shit right there.
