Using "hearts and minds" here is just too good. You do realize my OP post demonstrates the actual hearts and minds strategy of the US military? Terrorism combined with corrupt anthropology. Look up what happened to the "Human Terrain Project" researchers - I hope it happens to you!

Redditors just pathologically spout idioms even when it just deepens their appearance of idiocy.

I'm not here to cater to your editorial tastes or tut tut about online etiquette. You're wasting your time just like you always do online.

That last part, “… like you always do …” Is not a normal US speech pattern.

What the hell are you talking about? Of course it is. It's not just a valid construction, it's idiomatic!

Yet your uname is Southern Boy.

The Geography Understander has logged on. There are souths other than the Southern US.

It's pathetic how you immediately jump to trying to insinuate that the other user is a foreigner pretending to be American so they can do dezinformatsiya when it is neither clear where they come from nor where they claim to come from.

but when you start talking Zionism, it gets close to antisemitism

Conflating anti-zionism and antisemitism is antisemitism, straight up, and it's a form that zionists love using to silence opposition. Israel should not exist, and there is nothing antisemitic about that statement.

"you're not catching irony" is not a normal US speech pattern. Are you perhaps an agent of the Saudi government? They are quite influential.

Zionism is terrorism, you are just too cowardly to openly state your belief in terrorism. You wish for a kindlier, gentler terrorism.
