Gad Saad

Would it be whataboutism for you to say, how come you got upset when the MMA fighter did this, but when the non-MMA, that wouldn't be whataboutism?

Because what you would be saying is, I want cognitive consistency from you, Gad, that if you're upset that an MMA fighter commits a crime, you'll be as upset when a non-MMA fighter commits the exact same crime.

So I'm only vaguely aware of what happened.

So there was a civil war that was started in Syria, I think in 2011, that where the various Islamist groups were trying to overthrow Assad.

And as a result of that dynamic,

Innumerable people, Muslim on Muslim, were completely ravaged to the tune of about 600,000.

So let's put that here.

So let's not call that whataboutism because you could easily say I am angry whenever.

The guy in Iowa who has never heard of the Middle East but got rightly upset at what he saw in Gaza.

Why wasn't that guy...

if if he is a honest purveyor in his moral calculus of any innocence being killed i'm asking you i pose that question to you when he sees the thousands and thousands of yemenis that were killed the children

that were eradicated, much more than the tune of whatever happened in Gaza.

Every single individual, let me go on record.

What are you talking about?

There are many, many different ways by which Yemenis have died as a result of the conflicts in Yemen.

There are a huge number of people that were killed in the fight between Sudan and the South Sudanese.

I mean, really in the many hundreds of thousands, right?

So if I am just an Iowa guy, my moral calculus operates according to the following rule.

Whenever I see innocent people being killed,

it drives me crazy.
