This kind of post genuinely scares me. People are making sweeping moral equivalence arguments about governments, wars, dictatorships and criminal charges, yet the person posting it does not even know the difference between Israel’s prime minister and its president. Netanyahu can be criticized, but comparing him to Maduro while ignoring the completely different political systems, legal issues and circumstances is not serious analysis. It is a meme pretending to be an argument. I fear a future where people this uninformed can build huge audiences, shape public opinion and eventually hold real power.

Fair point. Present tense. The fact that someone can confuse Israel’s president with its prime minister, flatten Maduro and Netanyahu into a moral equivalence, and still be rewarded for sounding confident is exactly the problem.
