The title is obvious clickbait

Let me start by saying that I don't support the Israeli attacks and ground invasion in Palestine. Moving on

The article's main point is about Israel's "Hannibal directive". This measure allows the harm of Israeli forces to avoid hostages being taken. in practice the sentiment is that "a soldier is better dead than captured". In October 7 the order to take the Hannibal directive was given. There are accounts of soldiers bombing Hamas's forces that were in the process of capturing Israeli soldiers or civilians. Also as a result of the directive, damage was caused in civilian areas killing civilians

While it's clear by the way the article is written that there is a heavy bias against Israel, I believe the claims about the Hannibal directive to be mostly true.

Here's the part where you form your opinion. The act of killing your own people to avoid a capture instinctively sounds terrible. But also consider what it means to be captured and likely tortured for an indeterminate time.

Your opinion might fall between "Israel is the devil itself" or "this is a sad tactic but it's a part of war"

I'm not here to give you my opinion but to ask you to look at all sides. Don't allow yourself to have an opinion before considering both perspectives. Critical thinking and methodical argumentation are severely lacking in society.

My objective here is to go against this sort of angry, fear mongering, nasty articles. I'm so tired of this kind of writing. Please, let's stop enabling this. Lastly I'll just say, stop the war. Take a deal, return the hostages. Holy fuck I'm so tired of this.

The Right's opinions are not fact based, so you cannot convince them with facts

Most rightwing supporters are driven by their emotions, and fall prey to fear mongering and emotional manipulation related to their already existing beliefs like racism and xenophobia.

To change emotional based beliefs you need to use compassion. They are not your enemy. They are misguided and manipulated souls that need help.

Treat them as your best friend

They won't be open to arguments if they think you're the devil. So you have to be their friend.

It's not necessary to explain everything to them. You can't change someone's world view in one conversation. Just show that you're a reasonable person that is trying to understand them. Gently ask them what their beliefs are and don't be confrontational. With a bit of time they will open their eyes by themselves.

Not easy. but I think that this is what effectively creates change.

Why shouldn't people use windows?

You can't expect the average person to be tech savvy enough to use Linux and most people cannot afford a Mac. Especially in developing countries.

Windows is the best OS for the average person. Just not for advanced users such as researchers

All numbers are imaginary

They are a logistical concept, invented with the purpose of counting and calculating quantities.

Strictly speaking "Math" doesn't exist in nature.

Circles are not round because of Pi. A triangle's sides are not consistent because of the Pythagorean theorem. A thrown ball doesn't travel in a parabola because of Algebra.

Math is a tool CREATED to understand natural phenomena. Though its logistical power is so strong that it can be stretched to understand almost everything that can be measured.

If a tree falls in the woods it vibrates the air at an audible frequence. Your ears absorb the vibrations and send a signal to your brain that we understand as sound. But the tree never makes a sound. The tree exists and interacts with the environment. Your brain interprets some of those interactions as sound.

You can think of the numbers as the sound. You can understand them clearly, but they're just an interpretation of a natural phenomena.

people figure out the system

Only tech savvy people figure out how to go around this system. Roughly 80% ~ 90% of consumers will not realize what's happening or won't bother figuring out a solution.

Hell, even if only 10% of the consumers paid a slightly higher price the company still earns more by buying your data.

Statistics are on the side of the company. Buying consumer data is always the best strategy for them. The only thing that can limit abuse of privacy and consumer rights is government regulation.
