So once again you just ignore the "branding" issue. I'm blocking you since you obviously have some sort of agenda and don't engage in good faith. Good day.
Once again you focus on irrelevant minutae to avoid acknowledging that it is a comparable dehumanization tactic.
Dehumanization happens to all prisoners.
They are not prisoners. They are Palestinian hostages who had been jailed and tortured without trial. Turns out they were innocent and then released.
Not all dehumanization is the same.
Numbers on an outfit are different than numbers written on foreheads.
As an aside, I've never understood why people announce they're blocking someone, unsubscribing, etc. Nobody cares except you. What's even more weird is when someone claims "I'm blocking you" then keeps arguing with that person.
Example:
And here you are two hours later still responding to the person you "blocked."
For someone being so pedantic about the definition and misuse of a word you seem to be doing the same thing you're complianing about: using a word to be misleading.
Blocking means you don't engage with that user in any way anymore. You mislead us into believing you were going to block someone (as weird as that is to announce it) and continue to debate that person.
I have no opinions on the debate you're having, I just felt the need to point out your hypocrisy.
You have reading comprehension issues since the person I'm replying to here is not the same person I blocked.
My bad, I didn't notice it was someone else.
My point still stands that it's weird that you keep announcing you're blocking someone. You do it a lot.
Wow, what strong resolve you have for your side.
My side is proper use of language and not using rage bait or deception to try and get clicks.
I have no dog in the israeli/palestinian conflict other than saying the israelis should stop committing war crimes and end apartheid.
But keep making assumptions. It's a good look on all of you. /s
Sure.
That's why you gleefully announced you were blocking a person to close in your echo chamber more to ignore reality and why you refuse to look up the definition of brand and use a specific version that you want so you can claim it as wrong?
1): a mark made by burning with a hot iron to attest manufacture or quality or to designate ownership (2): a printed mark made for similar purposes : trademark
Cause printed would cover using a marker or tattoo on someone's body. Literally.
Or are you just upset people are upset at this and want to excuse it so that people are less so? If you have no fight in this leave and don't respond to people here anymore. You are off topic and bad at vocabulary anyways and it's distracting.
