Your contributions to this thread seem to be very grievance-focused. In the context of this topic, that seems relevant.

Is it something you wish to discuss?

Honestly, I’m not sure it’s a matter of persuasion. It’s a personal growth impairment they will have to resolve for themselves.

All young men have a version of this. It’s a shame it’s being encouraged by grifters, but what can you do.

Jill Stein the useful idiot?

“Not strictly necessary”, please stop you’ll sweep me off my feet!

Welkom in Nederland, moederneuker!

Is there anything going on right now that would warrant people being critical of the state of Israel and its leaders? Anything at all?
