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

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.

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

"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.
