Lol and that's why it's bullshit, because nothing is "super simple", you bunch of terminally online twats. You wouldn't know nuance if it reached out of your Instagram post and slapped you in the face. Go ahead, tell me to eat glass like last time.
everything is complicated, it's true. drinking water is super complicated. if you try to just drink straight h20 you will strip your body of electrolytes and shit will become very unpleasant. don't get me started on colors. we don't even know what colors ARE.
but there are subjects where the simple understanding is EXTREMELY functional, and will rarely lead you TOO far astray. like 'drink water, preferably clean water'. if you dont do this you die.
similarly: genocide bad. rape bad. rapists bad. genocideers bad. if you don't do this, LOTS of people die, and its partially on you.
yes, there is a more complex nuanced understanding (which IMO makes the palestinians look better and the zionists look orders of magnitude worse than the nation of shiro ishi clones they appear to be from the surface), but the simple one effectively functions for nearly any intent or purpose, and if you're not doing therapy for a palestinian person, or trying to decide what treatment would be appropriate for a zionist if it was capable of just stopping/surrendering (which it is not, there's only one way to stop this after letting it get this far, and we should do it before more innocents die), you really don't need more than the simplest "genocide bad, rape bad, murdering children bad" that a literal child could understand.
eat glass pweeease owo
It's all nuance until you start criticizing a politician's stance on the matter. Then it's we don't have room for nuance because:
I'd like to focus my counterargument. Which of these statements do you disagree with?
I disagree that critiquing Kamala automatically makes me a 3rd party voter. I'm vote blue no matter who, but I can see that explaining the trolley problem isn't working at the moment.
