Yes it does because it’s vacuous and ignores reality.
There are rules governing treatment of the press in war. If you don’t want to respect those fine but I don’t respect that stance. You can tell me you don’t care or argue with me all day, I’m not changing my mind on that. Rules like that are important. How do you think we are hearing what Israel is doing to Palestinians? It’s because those protections are in place. They have to be.
But please keep advocating for a world where we wouldn’t learn about human rights violations or what is actually happening because anyone who dares to report on it will be picked off by soldiers in the field.
This is an old thread but as I’ve said to several other people - which if you’d actually read the conversations before chiming in you’d have seen - if they participate in the war effort they are no longer guaranteed protections of the press.
If a medic aims a gun at someone they are a valid target. Same thing. You are correct: I am making this black and white. Which is made possible because there are rules governing what non-combatants can and can’t do before becoming combatants.
Old? Your response was 5 days ago, sorry I don’t live on social media lol.
But sure, come at me for not digging into every response you’ve ever made and just having a direct convo directly with you lol.
You keep trying to paint “participate in the war effort” as black and white, which you admit. Simply inspiring people to join the military by painting a picture of the war front is participation in the war effort, you can’t ignore that. They have more soldiers because of the actions of the press. And since it is black and white, by your logic they lose protection by doing that. Well if thats the case then this was a clean kill. Glad we finally agree.
Dude on forums like this yes that’s practically digging up a skeleton. I’m not getting into this again. Read the thread or kindly fuck off. You are making up standards left and right, I’m tired of responding to fantasy.
Lol, so when I take your exact stance and logic and show how it completely supports what I said you now are no longer interested in the convo and want me to fuck off. You’re already replying, but instead of addressing your glaring inconsistencies you tell me to go dig through your convos or fuck off. Man, some people cannot handle being proven wrong. You want me to dig through comments, how about you dig through resources and think about your stance so you actually make some sense and know about the topic you’re trying to speak to.
Also, sorry I have a life and I don’t drop everything for an online debate with someone constantly arguing in bad faith. I guess that somehow makes my points less valid, seems to make about as much sense as anything else you’ve said.
Participating in state run war propaganda is just as deadly as shooting a rifle.
Pithy one liners are good for PR campaigns but not actual discussion.
That doesn’t make it any less true or relevant.

And you’re painting the press and black or white which isn’t how reality works.
You can easily have a reporter start directly aiding the war effort through misinformation and recon.
But please, keep living in a make believe world where everyone acts honestly and no one ever abuses their status. Sounds nice.
