But I do realise that. I was trying to say that people who say “both sides” are motherfuckers. Was even that unclear? If so, this really goes down as a massive failpost.

I think I understand where the structural issue was. I’ve edited the original post to reflect that. Thanks for sticking around to help me iron it out.

When I read what I wrote, it parses in the way I intended. But seeing as you have read it differently, I’ll try to rephrase it so that it’s not confusing.

People who insist on mentioning “both sides”, like doing so makes you some kind of enlightened centrist, really piss me off.

If this makes more sense, I’ll go back and add an edit to avoid anyone else misunderstanding my intention.

This is one of the most clear cut cases of there being only one side that deserves any support, consideration or sympathy of any kind.

That’s entirely what I meant. I’m sorry if that wasn’t clear, but it was my intention to point exactly that very thing out.

So to paraphrase, my whole post was me trying to say “If you believe it’s necessary to mention both sides at a time like this, fuck you”.

Does it? I assure you that’s entirely unintentional.

Was it because I prefaced what I said with “its not the worst thing in the world”? Because by that I was just trying to diminish my complain to show that I realise how in the grand scheme of things its just a minor thing.

Apart from that, I’m not sure what I could elaborate on.

edited to try and remove ambiguity

It’s obviously not the worst thing going on in the world, but people who mention “both sides” to try and look like some kind of enlightened centrist really piss me off.

Corporate sponsorship = not politics Speaking out about a genocide = politics

somehow.

Oh, that anti-anti-zionist market? A lot of money in that right now. Such a smart marketing move.

I agree with you to an extent, I would just say that anyone who cared about any kind of credibility would not be going anywhere near that man.

Hey, yeah, but there’s a lot of money in the grifter game right now

I was going to ask that, too.

I had a cracking time at the book club, I can’t wait to go again.

Yes, I remember having to explain that the difference between “shit” and “sheep”, in terms of pronunciation, is short vs long bowels.
