Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have beaten to death a United States citizen in his early 20s, the victim’s family members and rights groups have said.

“We are aware of reports of the death of a US citizen in the West Bank,” Reuters reported a State Department spokesperson as saying. The official declined to comment further “out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones” of the reported victim.

You would participate in a good faith conversation because you have intelligent opinions on the topic of the conversion which is the fact that the MAGAzis and MAGAzi bootlickers don't care that a Palestinian American was killed because they don't believe that he is a "real" American because he isn't white, he isn't Christian, and he isn't a MAGAzi bootlicker.

You instead used weak devices as a bad faith effort to distract from the subject of the conversation and thus to derail the it. My calling out those weak devices has rendered you completely ineffective. All you've done is whinge about my calling you out and called me names and hurled insults.

It didn't work. It isn't going to work. I'm still here and I'm still willing to talk about the fact that the MAGAzis and MAGAzi bootlickers don't care that an American Palestinian was killed because they don't think that he's a "real" American because he wasn't white, he wasn't Christian, and he wasn't a MAGAzi bootlicker.

If you want to have an intelligent conversation I remain willing, or just keep hissing and spitting, whatever.

Why? When you're just going to respond with copy pasting reddit debate incantations, lying, and talking like an anime villain. Which is exactly what you continue to do.

or just keep hissing and spitting, whatever.

That's you, boo.

I know you are but what am I?

You just can't help yourself can you? One tired cliché after another.

The MAGAzis and MAGAzi bootlickers don't care that an American Palestinian was killed because they don't believe that he was a "real" American because he wasn't white, he wasn't Christian, and he wasn't a MAGAzi bootlicker.

A conversing isn't a debate. It's an exchange of ideas with the goal of expanding understanding of each other's opinions.

Do you want to have a conversion or do you want to continue to use one tired cliché device after another and have me point them out? The problem isn't that I'm calling them out. The problem is that you're using them in the first place. Stop being so weak and ineffectual and actually have a conversation.

Damn, now you're gone from copy pasting retorts you didn't understand from Wikipedia from copy pasting retorts you didn't understand from me

The MAGAzis and MAGAzi bootlickers don't care that an American Palestinian was killed because they don't believe that he was a "real" American because he wasn't white, he wasn't Christian, and he wasn't a MAGAzi bootlicker.

Still here when you have something intelligent to say.

Are you actually willing to talk without resorting to insults, misapplying formal debate jargon you don't understand, or misrepresenting what was previously said?

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I did not insult you.

I pointed out that you were using logical fallacies to attempt to derail the conversation. If you don't use logical fallacies I will not point out that you are using logical fallacies.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 0 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

So the answer to my question is no, you aren't actually willing to do that

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Strawman.

If you don't do it I can't point out that you did it.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You already confirmed your answer to my question is no, you don't have to keep doing it.

And you already tried the "STRAWMAN!" incantation.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Strawman

I've pointed out that you have used strawman arguments more than once because you've used strawman arguments more than once. If you stop using logical fallacies I'll stop pointing out that you're using logical fallacies. I'm not going to stop pointing out the fact that you're using logical fallacies because you don't lie the fact that I'm pointing out that you're using logical fallacies or because you keep whinging about it.

The MAGAzis and MAGAzi bootlickers don't care that a Palestinian American was killed because they don't think he was a real American because he wasn't white, he wasn't Christian, and he wasn't a MAGAzi bootlicker.

Some Reddit refugee is downvote every one of my comments. How fucking pathetic.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So your answer continues to be no.

If you want to have a conversation about the fact that the MAGAzis and MAGAzi bootlickers don't care that a Palestinian American was killed because they don't think he was a "real" American because he wasn't white, he wasn't Christian, and he wasn't a MAGAzi bootlicker without using logical fallacies I'm happy to do it. If you continue to use logical fallacies I will continue to point out that you are. It's really easy. If you want to have a good faith conversation I'm happy to do that and I will continue to ignore your insults and name calling. Up to you.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Nah, you already admitted you're not actually willing to behave in good faith

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If you change your mind, let me know.

No one is going to read 21 levels deep into a three day old slapfight.
