      Genocide is the ultimate crime huh?

      Fucking yes. I cannot believe we’re even having this argument. Nothing comes close.

      Or the genocide starting in America of people with skin the same color as I have

      I am absolutely not trying to downplay the barbarity and wanton cruelty of the Trump administration’s policies, but what we’ve seen so far doesn’t match the definition. Extrajudicial disappearances and zero due process for perceived or actual migrants is not the same thing as genocide. There’s no forced sterilization, rote murder, mass displacement, or deliberate attempt to destroy a collective people. CECOT is an overseas concentration camp, not a death camp - yet.

        Dodged right around the mass graves?

        The kidnapped children?

        The destruction of culture through russification?

            • ? I’ve seen plenty of talk about the situation in Ukraine, Sudan and Kenia. Maybe your instance doesn’t federate with the instances where those discussions happen?

              Palestine is a notable one because it’s perpetrated by our “ally” and it’s also very high in civilian casualties. And I really don’t say that to minimise any of the other atrocities going on.

              I’ve seen a lot of mentions of other genocides on my instance, but what’s notable about the Palestinian genocide is that the US and the western world is directly involved in it.

              Typically when I see this complaint it’s paired with a general vibe of wanting to deflect attention away from western atrocities. Not that I know enough to accuse you of that, but still.

                So:

                1. Don’t really care about Palestine or Palestinians.

                Maybe I should, I just only met a few and they all seemed like dicks, plus this was kind of kicked off by Oct 7.

                1. Ukraine isn’t about Ukraine, it’s about Ukraine, Georgia, the baltics, and honestly the peace of Europe.

                When Europe got unpeaceful in the past bad shit happened, I don’t want more bad shit.

          Dude. I can name from memory the list of war crimes and genocidal acts that Russia has done, they’re on a speed run in their aggressive war of conquest. Bucha, Mariupol, perferdy, executing PoWs, torture, the kidnapped children being raised as Russian, deliberate bombing of civilians, Russification of the Donbas, chemical weapons use, the list goes on.

          But the severity is not the same. Gazans can’t seek safety in western Ukraine, they have no missile defenses, they’re being deliberately starved to death as collective punishment, and are being kept inside a war zone by complete military encirclement and occupation.

        They are, I got them out of the country when the redneck filth took over.

        I voted against Genocide, 2 genocides, sorry I don’t give a shit about the specific one you seem obsessed about, but I’m also pretty sure the ones I care about are a hell of a lot bigger.

        Also, I knew a lot of the people I voted to stop the genocide of, which is why I care so much.
