      Eh, one person replied now. But I get your frustration. There are a lot of things I can’t say in a comment or that I assume others know about so I don’t even explain it. I can’t write a book. I already get the “I’m not reading all that” replies enough as it is. But, when someone reads a comment without that context it can be hard for them to understand.

      Things like THAAD in 2016. The protest in South Korea (I was actually there when they happened). I didn’t mention the obvious connection to Iran being that Trump removed them back in March to defend Israel. Something I incorrectly assume people know. So, I could see how my comment could be seen as a “jump” without that knowledge.

      But, yes, I’d definitely prefer people reply that disagree.

      Nope, most people are just tired of arguing with tankie idiots the same way they are tired of arguing with MAGA idiots. It’s the same type of person.
