wild to me how many people are upset by "i find genocide unacceptable and won’t vote for anyone who has it as part of their policies"
they treat it as if it’s some kind of insane opinion and not, like, the bare fucking minimum in terms of ethics???
Probably because it does nothing to actually keep those who accept genocide out of office. Don't get me wrong, the intentions are noble, it's just impotent as a strategy. The genocide rages on, indifferent to noble intentions. But now lots of additional people are suffering too.
The opinion makes sense to deontologists, but to the teleologists of the world it rightfully seems insane.
We get it youre OK with genocide as long as its your people doing it.
