Hypothetical arguments are usually found in Supream Court arguments or academic settings but seldom on social media. They could pertain to widgets or oneself but they are not personal attacks. I believe denialism is prevalent because it works for people, especially in the short run. I cannot deny that there is a global right-wing narrative that Israel/the Jews got what they asked for. To declare there is no anti-Semitism 'here' strikes me as a peacekeeping gesture and not a reality. I assume an anti-war position should be tolerated if not respected as a real global possibility although probably not in our lifetime. Life is too fragile to eliminate murder altogether. Morally speaking, go big or go home.
