You’re right. Genocide is victimless.

In this equation, you are playing victim by painting yourself as “opposition to genocide.” When called on this, you pivoted to pretend the poster was insulting victims of genocide

I wanted to tell you that kind of cheap pivoting technique doesn’t work here. I’m entirely against genocide and stand with Palestine, but this grandstanding is intellectually dishonest and makes you look like an entire clown.

I won’t be replying further on this.

It’s not belittling genocide opposition. It’s belittling those who hold democracy ransom over a single issue that they don’t understand, and weren’t even aware was happening for the last several decades.

Hypocritical when it’s you holding democracy ransom telling them who to vote for. I am expressing democracy by voting for Jill Stein.

You’re knowingly throwing away a vote. There’s not much left that is more anti-democracy. But for now- you can enjoy that right.

It’s absolutely nothing but.

over a single issue that they don’t understand

Yes, opposition to genocide is just because those who oppose it are unenlightened, not because it’s fucking genocide.

and weren’t even aware was happening for the last several decades.

Biden hasn’t been selling weapons he knows will be used for genocide for the past several decades. Now do the thing where you sling gaslighting and abuse.

For someone who had nothing to say about Palestine before October 7th, you sure love talking down at others from that high horse.

Your comment is history is almost entirety anti Biden rhetoric, and snarky rebuttals. People have tried to reason with you. You seem to have no desire to debate in good faith at all, so you should understand that It raises questions as to your motive here.

You have not, and will not find a single person here who supports genocide. Not one. Nor will you find anyone that thinks Biden handling of Palestine to be acceptable in any way. So STOP accusing people of this nonsense.

It makes you look foolish.

What people have CONSTANTLY tried to explain to you- is that this situation is very complicated. It’s nuanced. It’s not so simple to demand that something you don’t like be stopped immediately.

Either make an attempt to debate in good faith or don’t debate.

You could just ask me, I guess. Am I belittling genocide opposition? No. What I am opposed to is blaming the entire thing on Biden, as if 95% of the rest of the political establishment isn’t involved and wouldn’t have done the same things or worse. “Genocide Joe” is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. People seem totally ready to throw this election to trump, who has made it clear he would be even worse about Palestine, over this single issue, which would fuck over the US in an almost incalculable way. And then, it sure is odd how people who consider themselves leftists or communists spend huge amounts of time and energy bashing Biden and Democrats and NEVER express any concerns about Republicans or Trump. It makes absolutely no sense given that Democratic administrations are much better on issues they claim to care about - clean energy, unions, environmental regulations, women’s rights, appointing reasonable people to courts, and so on.

Biden hasn’t been selling weapons he knows will be used for genocide for the past several decades.

The US just started supporting Israel with weapons and finances? Huh, I could have sworn that’s been going on for at least 50 years.

Lame response. Explain US Presidential power, and how they have the ability to tell another country what to do.
