This feels like trying to explain to someone that you can have 2 different infinities, and one is larger than the other. Both are bad, but one is clearly worse.

"What's the difference if you end up at the same place?"

The difference is that 2 genocides is not the same place as 1 genocide. It is reasonable to criticize the people supporting a genocide while at the same time recognizing that the people wanting more genocides are not the same.

The only real difference is that there are consequences for you at home in the US and that's the only part you actually care about

And a million dead kids because Trump killed usaid but go off I guess.

"But what about the american children" like I said

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca -3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

I don't live in the US, there are no consequences for me as a result of Trump being president. Significantly more people are being harmed under Trump and I actually give a shit about other people instead of putting some idealized moral high ground above actual human lives.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

People were being harmed under Biden, our foreign and domestic policy has consequences for the vast majority of the world, you're either a moron or lying

American exceptionalism strikes again.

"Everything America does directly affects everyone else in the world. You only care now because of this. I cared before and that's why I did nothing to stop this."

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

It's not exceptionalism it's the direct result of our interference in other governments, goddamn you're dumb

Zero genocide isn't an idealised moral high ground and it's incredibly telling to see someone excuse it.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca -3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"I won't vote for someone who isn't speaking about X" is an idealized moral high ground when the alternative is not only X getting worse, but even more X happening.

"I won't vote for someone who isn't speaking about X" is an idealized moral high ground when the alternative is not only X getting worse, but even more X happening.

Fuck you you genocidal prick. Substituting genocide for "x" is disgusting. It's not "oh there's just this one bad thing". It's genocide. It's literally the worst possible thing you can do on this planet. And you're saying other people have an idealised moral high ground because they think GENOCIDE is something that should never be done.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca -5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fuck you you genocidal prick.

Right, the person complaining about there being more genocide means they.... want genocide? What a useful thought terminating cliche you have there that gives you an excuse to avoid questioning if your own actions could have been better.

It’s genocide. It’s literally the worst possible thing you can do on this planet

You know what's worse than genocide? More genocide. I don't know how to simplify this further for you.

[–] Oppopity@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The person belittling a genocide is a genocidal prick. There is no "more genocide". If genocide isn't a redline for you then you're a genocidal prick.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca -4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There is no “more genocide”

The entire world isn't genocide. If, for example, there isn't a genocide happening in England, and one starts in England, that would be more genocide than what is currently happening in the world. Seeing that and saying "the exact same amount of genocide is happening" just makes you sound like a fucking idiot.

[–] Oppopity@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The genocide that happened under Biden is the same one happening under Trump. Saying "but Trump will do more genocide" makes you sound like a fucking idiot.

And saying "Not voting for someone who refuses to speak out on x is having an idealised moral high ground" when the x in question is a genocide makes you a genocide belittling prick.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Saying “but Trump will do more genocide” makes you sound like a fucking idiot.

Tell me you don't pay attention without telling me you don't pay attention.

“Not voting for someone who refuses to speak out on x is having an idealised moral high ground”

You cut off the rest of the sentence: "When the alternative will only result in more." Your problem is you fail at context, everything exists in a vacuum and has no affect on anything else.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You stand for absolutely nothing, you deserve Trump and worse

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Right, all my posts about more genocide is bad means I don't care about anything.

Great contribution.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"more genocide is bad, the same amount of genocide as before is a reasonable compromise to ensure the stability of the homeland"

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

All I said was "more genocide is bad". I can't believe people would disagree with that so hard.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nobody's buying your bullshit

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My bullshit that genocide can get worse and that's bad?

Do you just go from meme to meme taking it super serious?

The difference is that 2 genocides is not the same place as 1 genocide.

How do you find yourself typing something like this and not pause for thought?
