One. You gave me one example. I gave you thousands.
I never said it was moral or excusable. All I said is, what did you expect would happen given what we’re doing to them. You have a lot of anger over the people forced to do bad things for survival but not against the ones who created the situation where they need to do these bad things. Why is this such a difficult concept for you to understand?
No, you gave me one. I explained why the first one actually helped prove my point. Which is why you provided the second. And I’m too tired to read that person’s biography to point to why he actually did it and give him some kind of justification. Unless you can give me some kind of substantive example where there are a huge number of kids in developed countries who are having happy lives you’re point here is not justified.
Ah, so they are being forced
Now you’re just not even arguing in good faith here.
By the way, the idea that the only way you can survive is die on the battlefield doesn’t make much sense.
Is this your way of dismissing their suffering and their choices to defend themselves even in the face of overwhelming odds?
I’m really not gaslighting you. I’ve been doing nothing but giving you explanations on why thousands of children feel compelled to hate a nation half a world away and you’re doing everything you can to dance around the topic without directly acknowledging it.
It’s clear this back and forth is pointless as you don’t want to acknowledge the real reason why countries like Yemen have all these militia groups who all hate the US. I’ll just leave you with this to think on however. In something like 5-10 years, when you see an influx in terrorist attacks on western nations. Similar to what we say in the 2010s, which were caused by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which were caused by 9/11, which were in turn caused by US interference in topics like Israel and the Gulf War. I’ll just ask you to remember this conversation, and think on why this cycle of violence keeps getting repeated and where it keeps coming from.
Sure. Apart from the specific times I mentioned where you do see it happening. And all the other times you see it happening.
And it still doesn’t make child soldiers either moral or excusable.

I gave you two actually. I can give you more.
Ah, so they are being forced. Thank you, that’s what I was saying.

I gave you two. Squeaky Fromme and Kyle Rittenhouse.
If you’re going to gaslight me, try harder.
Forgot about this, did you?
And again. I gave you thousands.
No, I didn’t forget about it. But you’re pretending the comment I made after that doesn’t exist. It’s some pretty pathetic gaslighting, I must say.

You acted like I never mentioned Kyle Rittenhouse despite mentioning him twice. You even outright suggested I only gave you one name.
That’s called gaslighting.
I didn’t even read past that first sentence. You clearly have an honesty problem.
