      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.

        You are already a fascist. You have already approved the genocide of a nation for the sake of what? Saving minorities in America? Guess what you will send them straight to the furnace the moment they become “expedient” to sacrifice for your own gain.

        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.

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

          What’s worse than genocide?

          2 genocides.

          I don’t know how to make this any more clear.

            Hell yeah brother. Personally I think Hitler was fucking great and would vote for him in a heartbeat if it meant stopping Himmler from being in charge. /s

      Says who? Yeah, the Dems are filthy neolibs, but all they really care about is money and influence. They’re rainbow capitalists.

      The other is literally based on hate and fear, they might actually care about building a christo-nationalist ethnostate more than money.

      They certainly have some goals in common, but even compromise isn’t going to the same place.

        Correct.

        That is why they maintain American imperialism.

        Such as funding a genocide in the middle east.

        They’re rainbow capitalists.

        They are rainbow capitalist because of former material conditions. Besides bombing the Middle East because of alleged inherent homophobia and steal their oil or bombing the Middle East because they are slur and steal their oil - is in the end a matter of rhetoric only.
