    Calling other people (all the more, a nation as a whole) names - is not critical thinking.

    Presenting biased rhethorics (all the more, not in a neutral manner, but emotionally loaded claims) and ommitting any contradicting points - has nothing to do with critical thinking.

    Opinions vs facts. One-sided accusing vs rational thinking. 💁

      Yeah no. Calling Nazis Nazi is a perfectly rational take. One does not to condemn an active genocide “in a neutral manner,” neither do Nazis deserve neutrality.

        They’re just here trolling. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. Israel’s finance minister said they intend to “entirely destroy” Gaza, and the English language has a word for “something you entirely destroy by fire”: it’s ‘holocaust’.

        So, I think we should trigger this guy more by using the term in the original, objective sense:

        This genocide, to which all current supporters of the Zionist state of Israel are party, is intentionally making a holocaust of Gaza.

        ETA: Let the record reflect that the denial of any genocide when shown such irrefutable evidence, — whether the Holocaust against Poles, Jews and others of the 40s, or this genocide of Palestinians — makes you party to its crimes.
