A generic war isn't genocide, and you people don't get to coopt the word genocide just because Israel took away your spotlight.
More over... It's not our problem. We are not the world police. We suck at that job, given we tend to kill 10-20x more civil loans than whoever were supposedly there to kill.
Yeah it sucks Ukraine is getting invaded again it did that a thousand times before I was born it'll do that a thousand more times at least after I die. You know what also sucks? Homelessness exclusively due to corporate greed. The former we can't solve, the latter we can and should before temporarily stopping a different country from invading yet another different country.
Wow, generic wars have hundreds of thousands, by Russia's own admission, children being ethnically cleansed from a region and deported to the invading country to shore up their own flagging demographics? Generic wars have kill lists of political figures, including LGBT advocates, distributed to the invader's forces? Generic wars have civilians with their hands tied and shot in the back of the head en masse in occupied territories?
Let me guess - you're an Uyghur Genocide denier too, right?
Ah, yes, nichevo.
You keep getting off topic because I don't care about your pet topic.
I don't care, even a little about myanmars genocide. Or the genocide in sudan. Or whatever Russia is doing or whatever gobbledyfuck the third, the warlord of east genovia is doing to puppies and children.
Maybe if I hadn't struggled my entire life while watching people get dumped by the US government, sent to the ME to do war crimes, and luckily come back home only to kill themselves after they learned how pointless their sacrifice was, may e id care about your pet topic of a sovereign country that is not us and is not funded by us invade another country that again is not us.
Maybe if I hadn't watched multiple of my family members die of preventable diseases thanks to not having access to healthcare even after "Obamacare" supposedly solved that problem, id care enough about your pet topic to support sending billions to be wasted on yet another war.
I haven't been to a doctor in my adult life. Id love to go, but the copay on my free insurance is half a weeks pay, before any tests. Id love to spend that but I've never paid less than half my monthly wage in rent. The money isn't there for me to give a fuck anymore. We spent 20trillion on Afghanistan and Iraq, theyre same shit holes they were, with a couple million fewer civilians and more birth defects per capita than anywhere else in the world.
Your pet topic wouldnt end any differently.
Thanks for admitting to being indifferent to genocide. Keep cheering on Palestinian genocide as well, I'm sure you don't care about that either. That's about the level of moral fiber I expected from someone who denies the Ukrainian and Uyghur genocides.
I do care about Palestinian genocide as we are funding that and id like that to stop.
I do not care about your pet genocide or whatever genocide China is committing.
We are not funding that.
It's a simple concept, take care of your citizens before sending off your children and money to some random country.
So the only reason you care about the Palestinian genocide is money? Well, I have good news for you, then, as foreign aid, even Israeli foreign aid, is an incredibly small part of the US national budget. You can rest easy in that there's one more genocide available for you to play apologist for with a 'clean' conscience!
You really had to twist all sorts of ways for that interpretation.
My money was s going to commit genocide, I do not want to commit or aide in commiting genocide, therefore in your mind, it's about the money in that case.
It's truly fascinating how you people think.
This you?
You're not very good at pretending to be a Very Concerned Citizen(tm)
Yes, now reread it in context. I do not want to send money to your shitty country to stop a genocide we had nothing to do with. I want to stop sending money to a country that is committing genocide with said money so I am no longer responsible for aiding said genocide.
These are not contradictory statements, child.
Yes, I got that you're fine with genocide and only care about sending money, you already made that perfectly clear. You don't have to repeat yourself.
I'm not fine with genocide, I simply have no more capacity to care about yours. That is the point, not whatever incredibly stupid idea you got into your head.
I don't want to be responsible for genocide, but I also can't stop another one that has nothing to do with me.
Are you asking the people of Botswana to come fight your war? Chile? The West andes? No? Why not?
Yes, you don't care about genocide, we all got it, you've been very clear.
Yeah you know what why not you're right. Congrats. Now stop begging my country to ignore it's own problems for yours. I'm not getting drafted to go die for you, as I wouldn't want you to die for me.
Don't really know what country I'm begging to care about the US's problems, but you have fun with, uh, whatever weird pro-genocide position you got going on there.
The US is not involved in Ukraine, you're begging random poor people that in the US to care about Ukraine when they can't make rent and are food insecure.
Stop begging the US for help. We're tired we're poor we have nothing left for you or anyone else.
Fix your own damn problems for once.
Again, I don't really know where you think I, an American, am begging the US, but uh, you have fun seeing pictures of murdered innocents and thinking "Oh boy, I hope my taxes are lowered by 2$ this year!" instead of "Jesus Christ, that's an atrocity", like any decent human being.
Reread, try again. I fully believe you're purposefully misreading at this point to support your own bias. I'm happy you're rich. I'm happy you have never suffered. I'm happy that you hate your fellow Americans to the point you love to see them suffer so someone somehow be might not have a bad thing happen to them.
Really, I'm happy for you. If there's a draft I'm making sure you don't dodge it. Some of us have paid that price, sounds like it s your turn to play hero, kiddo.
Literally living under the poverty line, but whatever makes you feel better about treating your own indifference to genocide as some kind of weird moral flex.
Ah yes, "America First" - just as pro-genocide as it was the first time the Nazis trotted it out!
No, Americans first, middle, and last. And I don't believe you've ever been actually poor. You'd care more about the problems you have than spending another 20 trillion on endless wars. And I know you've never been near the military or any kind of service relating to your morals, you'd realize the harm reduction option is keeping the US out of all conflicts for the rest of time.
Someone is always committing genocide kid, at least according to the US government. We are not the world police. Stop sending the poor to die for pointless wars. Stop refusing to fund our people even a little, just to afford infinite rockets and bombs.
Peace is not fascism no matter how much you war mongering conservatives want it to be.
Except for the part where you're constantly licking the boots of China on here. But yes, a very convincing American nationalist you make.
lmao.
"Harm reduction is when you allow genocide, and the more genocide you allow, the more harm is reduced"
10/10
"Opposing genocide is the real fascism"
Have you considered applying for a job with Israel's PR department? You seem a perfect fit, lmao.
I wish you the best kid. I'm sure you'll be the one to make a difference over there. I'm sure you'll end all genocide. I'm sure you won't end up like most vets when you're done.
We're all fascist losers according to you.
You people are genuinely the reason why I think we need to get nuked, for the sake of humanity.
Me: "We should not remain indifferent to genocide."
You: "Clearly this means you hate veterans and think they're fascist losers"
I'll tell all my friends and family who've served posthaste.
I'd say it's really telling that that's your conclusion, but I don't think you actually have any views, lol. If the simping for China wasn't suggestion enough of a disingenuous position of 'America-first nationalism', this certainly is, lmao.
Yeah okay kid I believe you you won I'm an evil fascist and your a paragon of left wing thought congrats. Get the fuck out of my inbox now and be sure to sign up for the draft so you can kill some of those damn commies as you're desperate to do
