    The main thing for me is how libs nitpick and fight into fake ideas that they think are a 'progressive middle ground' which are just extremely evil and unserious. I distinctly remember a lib explaining an elaborate plan of how they would have NATO build a giant wall to enforce a two-state-solution and I just kinda started losing it and showing them pictures of the west bank barrier on my phone. They kept insisting that if NATO ran the wall it would stop israel from expanding.

      The UN peacekeepers in Lebanon are currently illustrating exactly how that would go even if NATO troops actually somehow cared about trying to do that (which they would not)

        Nor do they ever factor in material and geopolitical realities in their schemes.
