Again, what's your point? You think you're being clever but you're just sniping at strawmen with old ammunition.
No logical fallacy buzzwords to falsely throw around? Just a downvote because someone has shared a non-genocidal point of view?
Sad but not surprised.
What's the strawman I'm sniping at?
ETA: yes it's as old as human nature and organized religion, yes, and you're continuing it. Everyone with different beliefs is "the other" and "the enemy" and "must be removed from existence to ensure peace for our people." I'm trying to point out that you're being taken advantage of, and the truth seems to be evoking strong emotions.
If you say down and had an honest conversation without yelling and turns were allowed to be finished, you'd find you have much more in common with these individuals than "the enemy" as the group you see them as.
But ideological warfare prevents class warfare, so it continues being spoonfed to you, and you happily latch on to every bite so you continue to feel a sense of purpose.
