I keep seeing this go back and forth. Confirmed, then walked back like 2 or 3 times now. My wife is convinced it is true, and got upset that I was skeptical.
That’s how emotional manipulation makes for such insidious propaganda, it turns family against itself
''They're lying'' should be where you start from.
Be sure to draw parallels to other historical examples of such bullshit, i.e. in the two Iraq wars.
All you need to say to that is pretty simple: "And what if this isn't different?"
The issue should never be doubt. The issue should always be those that blindly support. To err on the side of caution is not just human, but the right approach to just about anything.
Babies thrown out of incubators in Kuwait. Viagra handed out to Libyan forces by Gadaffi. Germans raping nuns in Belgium.
I got the same story from a friend. I reminded him that they said the Germans were spearing babies with bayonets in World War I and I wasn't going to believe it without video proof. He said there was video, so where is it?
All the normies have seen horrible things from this conflict. Hundreds of bodies lying around, Israeli babies tossed around like footballs by Hamas, women raped... I've seen people claiming witness to all these. Apparently on Facebook you can see all this shit Just Before It Got Deleted (tm).
I guess I was going to the wrong source, scrolling war gore threads on /pol/ for days, because all the violence I saw was a couple of dead bodies being abused, a couple of hostages being roughed up, and a woman with mud/blood on her sweatpants.
Fascinating!
