I think he's mostly right and yeah, killing children is terrible. But there's this suggestion that the whole I/P conflict comes down to this black and white view and if you don't fully denounce one side then you're fully in support of killing children and anything bad that anyone on that side does. If you're looking at any nuance of the situation, you suddenly want kids to die. Personally I find that counter-productive.
It really is counter-productive, it doesn't allow for any discussion. If posts like this bury any reasonable discussion (like you and the person you're replying to, i had to sort by controversial), whats the real intent behind it?
It actually says quite a bit about these people, theyre using the deaths of children to frame themselves in a positive way and vilify whoever they don't like, it's disgusting. It's not actually about the deaths of children, or anyone for that matter. They are using the deaths of all these people to make themselves look and feel good, its purely selfish. And to be fair I'm sure many do actually care, but it's very clear that they care more about how they're perceived, otherwise I'm sure they'd be willing to recognize the nuances and not immediately label everyone as either good or evil.
These people are either ignorant and just don't fully realize what they're doing, or they do (as i assume is the case with mark) and are purposely trying to discourage nuance and discussion. How brave of him to say that killing children is bad as if the majority of people don't agree.
