      My point is that if you kill innocents as acceptable collateral damage, it doesn’t make you morally superior. It’s pretty much the same as them, just the other side.

      I’m not “backing the instigator of the civil war” I’m saying you can’t support either group of terrorists.

          Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.[1]

          I’m calling the US forces terrorists because that’s what they deserve. State sanction has nothing to do with it.

          I’ve never defended the Houthis.

          So to clarify, you are saying that all of those women and children are not innocent? Are you saying that UNICEF is lying?

          Insane you think the US killing innocents is far fetched. Like ever hear of agent orange?

              Using a definition is not an appeal to authority because definitions are conventions of language, not subjective claims requiring expert validation. An appeal to authority relies on credibility rather than reasoning, while a definition clarifies meaning for effective communication.

                  What does that even mean? You don’t like the dictionaries or Wikipedia and won’t say why. How are we supposed to talk about anything?

                  Yeah if you want to change the definitions of all of the words to fit your narrative, then sure… whatever you say buddy
