These people want to steer away projects from being involved in the military

Then they don't understand what free software is.

Not surprising considering these people are primarily activists and software is merely means of gaining personal power in another space.

you really underestimate the living standards of 1950. in many ways higher than today.

They published verified photos of dead and burnt babies.

This is irrelevant to the topic discussed which is "validity of the Israel's claim of decapitated babies". You entered this specific topic and keep derailing it with these claims that are unrelated to the original statement.

You're grasping on literal straws.

Literal straws is what grows behind your house. Perhaps you meant figurative straws.

That is not a straw man argument.

It is a textbook example of a strawman. He is putting words in my mouth that I never said to debunk my post. That is exactly what strawman fallacy means. Lmao.

If anything you seem to be conducting one by focusing on a single detail to discredit a narrative

Another strawman. I merely pointed out it was a hoax, as briefly and straightforwardly as possible. I didnt say anything about any "narrative" at all.

The method of execution is really irrelevant here.

It is very relevant when it was explicitely stated. Falsehoods must be pointed out. Relentlessly.

"If RealPage has caused a rise in prices, it's because it showed old assumptions are wrong."

Your assumption that RealPage (and other software) -powered market is a market is wrong. Its a near monopoly and thus the price is excessive. Everybody has to live somewhere, if you double the rent of (nearly) all flats, everybody will still be willing to pay that doubled price.

To simplify it: altough there are many landlords, they arent each others competitors thanks to RealPage. They are collectively one big landlord holding the city hostage.
