66. Yes, the ignorance and false equivalency of some is, indeed, shocking.

For instance, there are some DU posters that think atrocity justifies atrocity, that there is no possible, conceivable response to brutality other than brutality. These DU'ers are supporters of the destruction of innocent lives, because they believe in some sort of karmic scorecard, suffered for by entire peoples. Eye for an eye, blood debts, and revenge motivate the mindset of these DU posters, and I don't think that there's any outlook more ignorant than that.
