The logical end of the ‘Solution to bad speech is better speech’ has arrived in the age of state-sponsored social media propaganda bots versus AI-driven bots arguing back

      9/11 only had its effect because they hit the twin towers, chemical weapons can kill entire areas

        I don’t understand the point you’re making. If airplanes hitting a building can do the same damages chemical weapons…

        Chemical weapons can kill entire areas just like planes hitting buildings. I’m a licensed pilot.

          what killed people was the damage to the buildings not the planes themselves, if the twin towers had been a chemical plant (especially one making something like phosgene, mustard gas or chlorine gas) in the middle of NY, the death toll would have made 9/11 look like a wet fart

            The chemical plant cannot be a WMD.

            Places cannot be WMD. This is inherent in the word weapon a weapon is not a place. The w in WMD makes it not a place

              hey, I was arguing with the logic of planes are a WMD because 9/11, pointing out that if plans would be a WMD because the WTC towers collapsing killing a lot of people, a chemical plant would be way worse.

              but in effect a plane is not much different from the larger cruise missiles

        Didn’t need to kill a millions. I’m just saying that the jet hitting a building kills as many as a chemical weapon can.

        Chemical weapons not going to kill more people than 9/11.

        How the fuck are 14 155mm shells filled with mustard gas from 1980 and a few kilograms of expired growth media going to kill millions of people?
