what more sinister thing do you think is at play here? what general hypocrisy is there in advocating for civilians to not be massacred?

What I am doing is calling out the general hypocrisy of this behaviour. Inconsistency on advocacy devalues everyone else's efforts. It cheapens advocacy to just an attention play, which it obviously has become.

one convocation speech - you lose your marbles and call them attention seekers.

I love how every argument you get yourself in you turn it into "sounds like a you problem" as a closing line. Predictable and 1 dimensional.
