I’m pretty sure I’ve already moved past a notification from you where I’ve admitted someone has explained this and I’ve accepted the mistake.
I’m not pretty sure. Should I start whining about how you didn’t preemptively provide a citation for this?
Pretty sure you were kind of an asshole about it, but I’ll address that when I get to it, that’s not the point here.
Go ahead and point to it and we can discuss.
I was aware of the destruction of infrastructure, hospitals, etc., but I made the apparently erroneous assumption that other methods were used to make a more (but still not completely) accurate estimate.
So you knew that the GHM was the source of these statistics? That they were largely disabled by the mass bombing campaigns, where the numbers stayed flat while civilian cetner bombing campaigns escalated? that didn’t make you scratch your head? I know that you didn’t really follow these things very closely and did not think of this. In isolation, that is fine. I don’t require anyone to know these things by default. The only expectation is in how they respond to correction and how they pretend at knowledge to forward the power and careers of those doing the genocide.
I did not expect the numbers to be perfect
You claimed they meant something that they don’t. THat is the issue. Nobody set the bar of “perfect”.
but I figured they’d probably be close enough for discussion purposes.
Wrong.
I have been repeatedly assured, by people who don’t seem to grasp that I’m responding to comments in the order I get them, that that is incorrect, so I’ll check out that study when I get a bit more time.
Do that instead of resonding to comments. ANd again, you don’t even need the fucking study. You just need an operational understanding of where the statistics you cited come from. Not everything in politics is going to be laid out for you on a platter by some university dweebs, you need to konw how to question these things before a lancet study comes out, just like every pro-Palestine organizer knew in 2023. That is, if you want to lecture others about it and double down and pretend to be the explainer on this topic.
If you have anything else that’s relevant, especially anything that might more accurately reflect the count beyond knowing it’s wildly inaccurate, I’d be open to reading that, too.
It’s a floor. It is an undercount by an order of magnitude. Nobody knows the actual number because the people responsible for recording it were killed and displaced and the bodies buried under high rises and still not exhumed. The bombing has not stopped. Your boy Biden made sure of that. Vote for him, eh?
