Are you joking about the Watson thing? Idk if you are or not but Watson wasn't the one who said that

Reading that I almost had a thought like it must have been a mix-up or something, but no, US police will murder people with less thought, so that type of fuckery is completely expected.

Love bikeindex, I actually got my stolen bike back thanks to that site. It was literally two years later but still, the police wouldn't have even made a report probably in the city I was at, with bike theft so ubiquitous.

That is their primary purpose here too but it just requires more violence and subjection, Americans are extra noisy.

You just have to say there was a weird technique the Nazi's liked to use.

For a better response to writing, an exercise an instructor had my class do was to look at a list of example sentences and remove every word that wasn't essential. I don't think your writing is so difficult to interpret but a more plain style can be helpful for some. Most people aren't trying to 'add it up' in conversation like it's math, it should be quick and intuitive. The way we read our own writing is different than how others will emphasize or pace it which can cause misinterpretation as well.

I feel like I see a lot of arguments online that are really just people misinterpreting each other repeatedly.

I wouldn't say they are too dumb to realize this necessarily, people are just misled by endless propaganda or don't have the time and energy/skills to really contemplate things properly.

I could still see people trying to make it work for generations for some reason, many early colonists in the West died before stable states could be founded.

Sources are at the bottom, and there are links to information where massacres took place in the villages.

That line of arguing might have worked a few weeks ago, but we have seen numerous times people were bombed in the place they were specifically told to evacuate to. 11,000+ people killed so far, over 4,000 children. If they aren't terrorists then they are prisoners like you said, so why are they being slaughtered by IDF bombing?

That's also why it's spelled 'antisemitic' versus 'anti-Semitic', to avoid the idea that it means against Semitic people but against Jewish people specifically, replacing the earlier term "Judenhass" (Jew-hatred) in the late 1800s.
