Social media believed to be tied to Austin shooter is full of antisemitic, anti-Christian, misogynistic posts The attacker who opened fire at a bar in Austin, Texas, over the weekend appears to have posted antisemitic, anti-Christian and misogynistic messages on social media.

So the average BlueSky user then.

Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) shoots Iranian civilians chanting anti-regime protests from their windows.

IRI have demonstrated no regard for Iranian life, murdering 30K+ last month alone.

It’s clear now that the IRI purposely bombed those schoolgirls to pin it on Israel/US to inspire outrage.

I condemn that evil shit wholeheartedly. But it’s really irrelevant to the conversation at hand. You moved the argument to Gaza once I revealed the hole in your logic. And then you started insulting me. Good day, sir.

I repeat: “When the debate is lost, slander become the tool of the loser.”

My Persian family and friends (mostly Jewish) lean into “Persian”.

I have several Armenian friends who are from Iran. They don’t really call themselves Persian.

Maz Jobrani says it best:

Iranian refers to nationality or anyone from Iran; Persian refers specifically to the Persian ethnic group, language, and culture rooted in Pars (Fars). Some in the diaspora prefer Persian for cultural or historical reasons, including distancing from the current Iranian islamofascist government.

“When the debate is lost, slander become the tool of the loser.”

You attempted to use logic to claim that Israel/US and not the IRI bombed the school. I’ve refuted your logic, and instead of addressing the refutation, you’ve shifted the argument to Gaza. I’m just trying to keep this discussion focused. The IRI has the most to gain by bombing the school.

They are not. And the country is rightfully angered. Which is why it makes no logical sense for the US/Israel to have targeted it. More logical: it was a failed IRGC missile or a false flag op by the fascist regime of Iran who has just zealously murdered tens of thousands of their own people.

The IRGC are child rapists / murderers. You pivoted your argument to Gaza because I pointed out a flaw in your logic which you have yet to address: US/Israel want to empower Iranian civilians to fight for regime change/freedom, so it makes no sense for US/Israel to target civilians.

You keep changing the argument so you don’t have to address your logical flaw.

Israel/US want the Iranians to rise up against their murderous islamofascist rulers.Targeting civilians is antithetical to this goal. Every confirmed US/Israeli target has been military/political. Make it make sense.

It’s a different war with different goals. So yes, you did change your argument. Israel/US want regime change in Iran. They want the Iranians to rise up against their oppressive, murderous islamofascist government. So it makes no sense for Israel/US to target civilians. Make it make sense, baba.

You changed your argument because a logical flaw surfaced. It makes no sense for Israel/US to target a school when their goal is regime change. Whereas the mullahs have demonstrated no problem with killing their own people. In two weeks, the IRGC killed more civilians than in a year of the Gaza War.

Texas gunman wore "Property of Allah" hoodie during attack, had photos of Iranian leaders at home, sources say The man who killed two and wounded 14 also had photos of Iranian leaders in his home, a source said.

Iranian regime flag, Property of Allah clothing, Quran in his car, and the attack coming hours after U.S./Israeli strikes that killed Iran’s leader. This is ideologically driven islamofascist terrorism. Why are the FBI and terrorism task forces even investigating?

Why would Israel/US hit it if their goal is regime change? They want the people on their side. Plus every other target confirmed to be hit by Israel/US has been military/political. No sense, right?

“Why would IRGC—who just killed 10k-30k of their own civilians—hit themselves?” you ask. I know why.

Iranians celebrating the death of Ayatollah Khamenei, their oppressive ruler since 1989.

“… it’s people nearly wiped out…” is quite a fascinating statement.

That makes them also anti-semantic.

“What truly evaporated is critical thinking, replaced instead by the reflexive acceptance of any allegation, no matter how absurd, so long as it accuses Israel.”

It’s not me—it’s you.

I have no opinion of you. All I know about you is that you’re unwilling to have this conversation honestly.

When you’re ready… when you can address what is plainly obvious about the headline… I’ll be here willing to engage with love and honesty to the best of my ability.

It’s not me—it’s you. You’re not open to having this conversation. You sense a crack in your bubble, but you are choosing to ignore it. That’s a real shame.

That you’re unwilling to agree to what we both know about the headline… yeah, that says it all. Think about that before you go and block me.

Don’t pull that rhetorical shit. I told you in my first reply thermobaric weapons are horrific. OP’s point is that Al Jazeera is unreliable when it comes to this war.

You don’t think that this AJ article meant “vaporization” literally. I’m asking if the headline makes the figurative intent clear.

Let’s start with the headline:

“Israel used weapons that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate in Gaza”

Do you agree that it is bullshit then?

Explosions And Implosions Generate Heat, But Could Either Vaporize A Human? Turns out there are a lot of misconceptions about the power and appearance of destructive events.

Physics explanations show human bodies aren’t literally turned into vapor by conventional explosions:

Scientific and forensic research say thermobaric blasts cause severe trauma and destruction, but no reports of vaporization:

Thermobaric blasts are horrific, but “vaporizing” thousands isn’t physically or forensically possible. Claiming literal evaporation by these weapons is unscientific nonsense. Such claims contradict cremation science, blast forensics, energy physics, et cetera.

I 100% accept that the GOP push for voter ID is largely racist, like a poll tax. Motivation aside, is it such a horrible idea? Let’s say we spent a decade issuing gov’t IDs to everyone. Would it make elections more reliable? More efficient? I really don’t know, but I’m leaning toward: yes it would.

Or maybe it’s vice versa.
