Redfox8@mander.xyztoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do I need a good argument for you to respect my opinion?

3 months agoI don’t think in terms of respect about something like this as this leans towards some kind of snobbery or predudice. Either I agree or don’t. Regardless of any perceived level of knowledge or intelligence behind an argument, I’ll respond as a point of advancing shared knowledge rather than trying to ‘win’.
It amazes me that no-one ever seems to say (not that I have seen, at least)…Isreal is a western, democratic state with nuclear weapons in the middle east.
It’s basically a major power base for the west in the predominantly arab part of the world.
Anything else is a side arguement as far as I’m concerned.
