I was a soldier as a young man in the US Army (Infantry) - we were drilled over and over again on the rules of engagement before and during deployments. I have been in a situation before where a younger child set off a firework near my squad when we were patrolling or conducting a presence operation in a neighborhood. As a young man I was remarkably fast, and in about half a second - I had the child in my front site post - as my brain fully processed what had happened. I immediately put my rifle (M-4) on safe and returned my weapon to a low carry. I wanted to throw up immediately after - the idea that I had come so close to shooting a child was horrible and repugnant to me. His mother or guardian, drug him inside, and from the sounds of it administered a thorough spanking.
Gaad Saad's question - Hamas is certainly more immoral - though I believe Gaad may be more interested in the comments to his poll than the final answers.
I've begun using Twitter more frequently to encourage the use of decentralized social media. There is some mechanical components of Twitter that seem to reinforce or promote reactionary patterns - or anti-reason. The imperative on Twitter seems to be to respond as rapidly as possible with performative approval or ridicule of the position or commenter.
Twitter at a macro level is a mob. It can be used positively but, I'd argue it takes more personal and intellectual discipline than a platform like Hive. We argue here off course, but it's often more deliberative and the pause to reflect before responding often produces a more thoughtful or kinder response even in disagreement.
