Oh, and they always disagree with Netanyahu.

    In logic, there is a huge difference between existential and universal quantification.

    Now, if you find reason to self identify as the “random German” that’s your own choice.

      You seem to value logic, but not math. If you refuse to even tell us how many comment sections with “random Germans” defending Israel led you to make your post, it looks very much like you’re basing your judgment about a whole nation on insufficient data. Any statistician will tell you that you need a significant sample in order to make generalized statements like you did.

        Sir, this is a Wendy’s. You’re in a memes community and you’re demanding an empirical study with statistical significance.

        judgment about a whole nation

        Repeat: there is a difference between exists and forall. I’m not judging “all Germans”.

        (I do have however very strong opinions about the German state, media, and political class, and its despicable laws, positions, and biases, but German official genocide denialism is a different discussion.)

          You particularly referred to the Germans, and you said there’s “always one”, thereby singling out the Germans as being particularly bad in this respect. I’d hoped you would be able to at least give some kind of evidence for this claim of yours. Seems like you can’t and don’t want to.

            “Everytime I drive on the highway there is always some random male driver that tailgates me.”

            When you read that, do you understand that “all men tailgate”?

              Or, to put it in other words:

              You may well be right. I never disputed that probably a lot of Germans refuse to criticize Israel, and that’s lamentable.

              But you should always, ALWAYS be prepared to defend and validate your assertions when challenged. Have some fucking proof for what you claim, or you will look like a person who just likes to pull any old shit out of their ass, even when you’re right.

              So you choose to ignore math and come up with a wrong analogy. Okay. Let’s look at your weird logic then.

              “Everytime I drive on the highway there is always some random male driver that tailgates me.” Any sane person would ask back: “You sure they were all male? Can you prove it, have you seen them? Or is it just something you assume?”

              Only idiots believe people when they make statements without further explanation or reasoning. You may be right, you may be wrong. But without further data it only remains an opinion that everyone should take with a grain of salt.

              Believing every claim just because they match their bias without asking for further details, evidence or justification, that’s what Trumptards do. People on the left should know better.
