Agreed, just because something isn't necessarily being actively argued about but lies within the subtext of the argument, doesn't mean that one is being held to a different standard or being argued as a better system over the other. The fact of the matter is that if someone is arguing that gulags are bad, as an example, then they probably think the modern prison system is also bad. The heart of the argument is that forced labor institutionalization is bad and it shouldn't take much introspection to understand that, but when someone enters the argument with whataboutism it's now seen as bad faith because they don't appear to understand the argument, just who's making it and what side it's currently criticizing.

Not that I should waste my words on people that won't bother listening to them, but atrocities forced upon people in the past do not justify the victims to propogate them onto other, new victims. This isn't a blood libel, they're just scared there'll be repercussions on the end of the killings and they are desperately trying to gaslight the world through guilt and grief. Nothing of good faith is coming from the Israeli government and their own equating of Israel and Judaism at this point is by itself antisemitic.

Yeah that one works.

How tasty?

Comments coming from unsubstantiated and random people should be treated with more than a grain of salt. Believing in fear mongering at the behest of the mob is hardly thinking for yourself.

But, like, the Palestinians didn't build those camps in the first place and it makes it worse that this person is threatening to use them. It seems like they're the one who forgot about the camps and what they meant.

As always, the T-Rex also gets fed, an indestructible shelter, and a hunting knife.

This isn't about the tangible flag as an item but as a symbol of what the flag represents. Removing the flag is the first step in a series of patterns of erasure. If you accept this, then you might accept the next small step, then the next one, then the next one, and so on.

I'll leave this as, "I disagree with your opinion and I don't personally believe you wouldn't be alright with further erasure given your openness to be ok with any amount of erasure."

Redundancy is almost always a good thing. If something goes wrong with one form, they have the backup while they fix it.

There is a road going up there, and as another user pointed out there are overland cables connecting it to the rest of the system.

Let's see the lettuce hold up against this one.
