It's the "No True Scotsman" fallacy. Behind the Aegis Jan 2024 #20

I'm beginning to think the only way to fight the brain rot is to reframe everything as a conspiracy theory. chowder66 Jan 2024 #11

Not surprising at all. sheshe2 Jan 2024 #12

Nothing in your post disputes that Hamas raped and tortured TexasDem69 Jan 2024 #57

Keep what facts straight? What are you saying? yardwork Jan 2024 #62

WHAT "FACTS STRAIGHT"? Cha Jan 2024 #72

Thanks for keeping the facts straight mcar Jan 2024 #79

Hold on a second, just noticed something about your post TexasDem69 Jan 2024 #84

Plenty seem intent on doing that here as well. tritsofme Jan 2024 #16

It seems remotely possible that 25,000 deaths in Gaza might have something to do with it. NNadir Jan 2024 #17

Did you read the article? Probably not, I'm guessing. yardwork Jan 2024 #19

Remember, whenever you post something not completely/mostly critical of Israel... Behind the Aegis Jan 2024 #22

"This bad thing happened so that other bad thing didn't really happen." yardwork Jan 2024 #23

I did not, and neither do I have any intention of doing so. NNadir Jan 2024 #24

Is it hard to breathe the air way up there? yardwork Jan 2024 #25

Not at all. How's breathing in the trenches? NNadir Jan 2024 #27

Journalistic spin? The article is reporting on Conspiracy Theorists claiming Oct 7th didn't happen or emulatorloo Jan 2024 #52

...and...the point is what? NNadir Jan 2024 #54

The point is you attempted to discredit an article by claiming it is about something that it isn't about. emulatorloo Jan 2024 #59

The article is only immune from being discredited if knowledge of Hamas's crimes has been erased. NNadir Jan 2024 #61

Thanks for Pointing that out about Cha Jan 2024 #74

If people want Trump to be defeated, they need to pay attention. yardwork Jan 2024 #56

And then get outraged! when it is pointed out their assumptions have ZERO to do with the article's content. emulatorloo Jan 2024 #60

Performative outrage is one reaction to being embarrassed. yardwork Jan 2024 #63

I agree with you, on all points. yardwork Jan 2024 #66

"Journalistic spin"?!? There is no rationalization in the article. What are you reaching for here? SoFlaBro Jan 2024 #58

The original title (which the WP has now changed) didn't encourage reading - it was hyperbole muriel_volestrangler Jan 2024 #49
