Ah, the Israeli technique of preemptive self-defense
Wonder how long before Trump talks about 'narco terrorists' having 'human shields' in the schools and hospitals

They didnt even put the "self defense" in quotes which means the author is actually just straight up that horrible of a person.
"We defended ourselves from their attempt to defend themselves from us."
why didnt venezuela just obey the LEOs orders? turn over your whole government, its a legal court order! stop resisting
Kill the nazis
"So I break into this guy's house and he shoots at me, right? Well, I shoot him back, in self-defense."
ABC is owned by Disney, of course they'd report this way...

Every violent action they take is self defense somehow.
Post needs accessibility: post's URL field can be filled in.
Images of text break much that text alternatives do not.
Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:
- usability
- we can't quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
- text search is unavailable
- the system can't
- reflow text to varied screen sizes
- vary presentation (size, contrast)
- vary modality (audio, braille)
- accessibility
- lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
- some users can't read the image due to lack of alt text (markdown image description)
- users can't adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
- systems can't read the text to them or send it to braille devices
- web connectivity
- we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
- we can't explore wider context of the original message
- authenticity: we don't know the image hasn't been tampered
- searchability: the "text" isn't indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
- fault tolerance: no text fallback if
- image breaks
- image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.
Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images. Media literacy: how do quotes & paraphrases work?
@JUNlPER
this is always one that gets me. so many people are unable to realize that you can present characters doing something bad without endorsing it. not sure when this kind of baby brained thing started but its so silly to see so often@ducktales2020
more than anything they conflate Presenting Something with Agreeing With Something, but don’t apply it to good guy/bad guy narratives. when everyone’s bad they short circuit

They didn't call it anything though? It was a direct quote?
Also, if criminals are trying to kidnap you and you fight back, is that not self-defence?
As a non-American, what context an I missing, and what am I supposed to be outraged about based on that snippet of a quote?
Edit: of course I'm outraged by the whole invasion, but what did ABC do here other than publishing a quote?
