I must be missing your point. You're talking about a thought / belief framework. I'm talking about how the world actually works. In any fight between theory and practice, practice always wins.

The world largely moves forward through cooperarion, then regularly regresses through violence. I have no desire whatsoever to undermine and bludgeon my neighbors in order to come out on top. Anyone who feels this way should probably be institutionalized for the safety of society at large.

Nobody is talking about you bludgeoning your neighbor. The point here is that there's no reason to leave your doors unlocked if you have the option of locking them. There's no reason to be weaker than you have to be.

Our military is and should be strong. If a company is willing to help them be stronger, I don't know why we'd be against that.

It's a popular conspiracy theory, without evidence, and without any perspective on any information that intelligence had. Using civilians as shields is well documented/known for Iranian military and groups they sponsor. For example, hospitals [1]. Shitty, but possibly a valid military target.

Your links talk about the places that were bombed, but I don't see anything apart for conjecture that this was the product of AI targeting. Also this is a vast underestimate of the ability of organizations that were able to locate most of Iranian leadership throughout the war in their hiding places, but suddenly their Farsi is so bad they need a twitter account to tell them this is a Park

Nice genocide denial you got there. The Gaza Genocide is a verified fact. It has been recognized by a United Nations special committee and a commission of inquiry, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, B'Tselem, Physicians for Human Rights–Israel, International Federation for Human Rights, and almost all genocide scholars. What has happened? Mass killings,…

Yes, the knowing misuse of a term like “genocide” for its emotional force is manipulative sophistry, and that's what's occurring in those examples.

Sounds like you don't know what the term means.
