    No, he did. If I claim to be a computer programmer with 20 years of experience, but dont know the basics of any computer language, that would be an important detail in discrediting me and my “expertise” on the topic. Right? So if someone is saying they are an expert on Israel and Gaza(ie, “listen to me!”) then pointing out that they dont know basic things about the topics is very important. Because the last thing the world needs, is more listening to fucking grifters that only feed into collective outrage.

      Even real experts don’t know every details about their field. The argument that just because he didn’t know about the wall was makes him fake and uneducated about the topic is ridiculous and dumb

        They may not know every detail off the top of their heads, but they will know the basics of their chosen fields. Like every mathematician knows their times tables, right? Whats ridiculous and dumb, is being so balls deep in the culture wars that you refuse to see any negatives of the talking heads you subscribe to, even when they are obvious as fuck.

      your analogy is not correct. this is like claiming to be a computer programmer with 20 years of experience but not knowing how the computers in star trek work. it’s just bullshit that has no bearing on your opinions on programming.

          no? does no one understands analogies here? the genocide is computer programming in this analogy. the wall is the computers in star trek. it means fuck all and has no bearing on actual computer sciences.

            I do, I might be you who doesnt. I gave a real world analogy of someone pretending to be a master in a craft, and you pulled star trek out your arse for some reason while saying the same thing, but equating observations with Gaza to watching a tv show.

            The man claims to be an expert, but doesnt know the basics of the conflict or the players. What about that are you not getting?
