Do you think Israel set a precedent that you can attack civilians and nothing will happen? And India is using that precedent?

Yeah absolutely. What you're talking about is often referred to as norm erosion and it's a really good point to bring up in context to Israel/India but also it goes well beyond this.

What we've learned and seen time and time again is that if a state/actor is well aligned globally, they will be able to violate norms repeatedly without suffering any meaningful consequences. That's norm erosion in a nutshell

India watched Israel violate a dozen norms and violate every Geneva convention for the past 2 years and they were absolutely emboldened by it. India believes itself to be a very well aligned global power and so it used that playbook.

However the number 1 violator of norm erosion is the United States. A million deaths in Iraq (mostly civilians), drone programs (also numerous civilians), Afghanistan, Vietnam etc are all examples of what a well positioned actor can get away with.

In fact both India and Israel pull from "the war on terror" playbook. They pull from America's stance on "collateral damage" and "pre-emptive self defense"

We've essentially been watching this happen for a really long time. We're seeing what happens when we allow unmatched global reach, legal insulation to go unchecked.

"Can we change conspiracy theorists? Honestly, yes and no. Trying to convince a hardliner (of any kind) is infinitely harder and often futile. For a full-blown conspiracy theorist, who might be under the delusion that the authorities are gunning for them, all your attempts are going to do is make them hold on to their belief even harder. Of course, not everyone is so entrenched in the conspiracy theory life, and these people can potentially be persuaded, but it will take a lot of time, patience and energy. It also might not work. So, unfortunately, it's a catch-22 situation."

googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much

"If you know anything about mythology, you know that the stories we know about gods/goddesses are complex and diverse. Their essence, origins, and powers are always up for debate and, more importantly, always evolving. The Hindu pantheon is no exception. The tendency for certain gods to be incarnations of pre-existing gods adds to the confusion and often makes it even more difficult to ascertain who came first and what each version stands for."
