That is very USA centric, so I dont know the background enough there. The argument i am trying to make is against the “there is no justification” part of your statement. A similar statement would be there is no justification to kill anybody ever. Sounds all good and valid, until shit hits the fan properly. If you read my question as “killing civillians is fine” then that is an incorrect interpretation.
Civil war. When one group of civilians is going against another group of civilians.
What to do then in a situation where civilians are killing other civilians?
This dolphin and what it says reminds me of Sodal Ye from the Hothouse sci-fi novel.
I think it’s a good idea. People are more likely to cooperate and take advice from people who don’t call them names. Although i understand that “normie” was not meant as an insult. But it might be perceived that way.
Maybe start by not calling them “normies”.
Good move imo. If everybody did this, the next time Hamas decides to cross with hundreds of its soldiers the border to the neighboring state to slaughter and kidnap civillians the optic will be shifted from “it was just some terrorists” to “it was the army of the palestinian state”.
On the ground it will change nothing though. Israel would still go in to disarm/dismantle the neighboring terrorist organisation (now called an army of the palestinian state). Innocent palestinians will still suffer. So will innocent Israelis.

I got no argument against this formulation. Unless of course someone would threaten to kill my family unless i press a button and then random people die and my family gets to live. Not self defense, not combatants. I’d press the shit out of it anyway.
