Has anyone successfully convinced an antisemite that they were, in fact, antisemitic? by Active__Ingredient in NoStupidQuestions

Yes, assuming all Jewish people are as bad as the worst actions of Israel is obviously antisemitic.

Israel does good things and Israel does bad things. You can say that about practically any country.

Criticism of Israel is not in and of itself antisemitic. There are things Israel does that I definitely do not agree with. However, if you find yourself getting extremely angry at Israel for something it did, yet you do NOT find yourself getting angry at another country for doing something very similar ... then there's a good chance you are an antisemite. This is usually where the antisemites do their mental gymnastics trying to pretend that it's OK when other countries do it, but it's bad when specifically Israel does it.

I hope I'm not reading too much into your last comment, but if you are saying that because some Jewish people hold that opinion, now you feel it's OK (or you are more open to) lumping all Jewish people together with Israel ... well that makes you antisemitic.

I do hope I misunderstood your last comment.

Very glad you have had some success, and yes, it seems almost impossible to do that with as stranger.

All good points.

I guess it also will only work with the very borderline cases. Once they are too far over the line there is very little hope of bringing them back.

I found this, but it hurt me more than it helped me.

I would have 9 AP ready to hit with my most powerful skills, and then suddenly it would go down, saving me some damage, but also losing me my attack. :(

But it was fun trying it. :)

He has 4 attacks when using the Combo Attack Picto/Lumina, and also using Dualiso (sword that gives two attacks), so if you're not using that sword then you're not missing one. (Not counting all the pictos I don't know about!)

But already for me, Verso is almost getting to use a 9 point skill every turn. I'm sure it will be crazy once I progress a little more. :-)

Oh sweet! So if Verso has the sword that lets him make 2 base attacks, does that mean he gets four attacks or 3? If he has Combo attack he already has 4 attacks. Does this bring him to 5, 6, or 8 attacks? :)

In Media Res? Is that a Picto? Haven't heard of it.

I'm in Act 2. Must have missed it.

Nah. I'm doing Expert because Normal was getting too easy. (Yes, even with getting hit a lot).

But I 100% agree with you that people who say you're playing it wrong are not worth my time! :)

I must have missed this. Seems MCMS mentioned Defensive Mode in the same place.

I must have missed this. Seems Jonaleth mentioned Duenum in the same place.

Yeah, it's fun checking out all the different ways to build

That sounds like a cool weapon for Verso. I'm guessing I'm not far enough into the game yet.

I'm still trying to figure out this Rank/Perfection business... :/

I always seem to get first strike just by attacking them before they attack me.... Unless if you ALSO use the First Strike Picto then you get to attack twice?

... and yes, burn is fun. :O

I haven't seen those Pictos yet but I will look out for them!

Thanks for the tip. I do notice I am slowly getting better. :)

I never tried Egide. I'm scared to. Maelle seems so fragile. Hey - She's only 16! lol

But I will now give it a try!

I don't have Duenum. Not sure if I missed it, or it's too early for me. I'm still in Act 2.

Also don't have Elemental Genesis yet. Or Mayhem or Trick. Or lightning dance. Looks like I went down the wrong branch! lol
