“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
Smug quotes are a perfect addition to your moral superiority. I’ll try to remember it when I’m protesting with JVP, while innocent migrants are sent to torture prisons for life without due process and the Palestinians are eradicated, all because you’re above doing anything to stop it.
I know you have no issues with lying, but you should at least not lie about easily verified facts

I thought you said you were done?
Also, you were the one who was above doing anything to stop Palestinians being eradicated.
All of your random pontificating about other people’s moral superiority really seems like you fighting a guilty conscious.
