Antisemitic incidents in the United States rose by about 400% in slightly over two weeks since war broke out in the Middle East after Palestinian Islamist group Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, advocacy group Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said Wednesday. Read more at straitstimes.com.

      I see you’ve given up even trying to respond, so you’re resorted to vague pseudo-intellectualism devoid of any concrete substance.

      What assumptions? And, indeed, what ideology? You have no idea what ideology I identify with, if any at all, and thus, you have no idea what “assumptions” I may have made, if any. I have only provided you with reasoning, and you have failed to engage with any of it. I gave you a challenge - give me absolutely any reason to take you seriously on this topic. You have failed to do so.

      Let’s say I’m actually an anarchist - I’d hesitate to pin myself down so concretely, as I’m more of a socialist, but I have my problems with the notion of a state. But let’s say I am. What assumptions are questionable? You haven’t stated any, or why they are questionable.

      How are we to move forward from that statement? Am I to say, “Oh, indeed, those assumptions you didn’t mention are, as you said, questionable, in quite the way you haven’t described. How fascinating.”

      Absolute psuedo-intellectual trash. You have, instead of making a point, cowardly disguised your lack of one as a rebuttal of mine.

      But, I’m feeling charitable. Once again:

      1. Why would he be robbing you for things he already has?

      2. I can easily pluck examples of cooperation making the world go round, and in far greater numbers than selfish self preservation. Mutual aid is a factor of evolution; survival of the fittest operates on a species level, and species that cooperate survive better than those that don’t. Darwin himself noted this in his research.

      3. Please point out the alleged slander, instead of just claiming it with no evidence.

          Are you fucking trolling or are you just an imbecile? “Wall of text”? It’s a few fucking paragraphs. I’m not trying to overwhelm you, and I’m sorry if I have, but yes, it does take a few sentences to make multiple points. It takes words to form arguments, and words construct sentences, and sentences lead to paragraphs. Don’t fucking try and TL;DR me and pretend it’s an argument.

          Sure, more words doesn’t necessarily mean more points. But on the other hand, fewer words doesn’t necessarily guarantee a concise point; it can just as well be a pointless pithy remark such as your own. You imply I’m just waffling - where are your reasons for your claim? Prove your point, you coward. Or, let’s get back on topic.

          Or are you scared to get back on topic?
