    I would be amazed if anyone on lemmy.world was at all unaware of trump’s encouragement of genocide.

    I am amazed that anyone on lemmy.world could have possibly thought people on lemmy were unaware of Trump’s encouragement of genocide.

    I am not surprised that it seems to be the only concern.

      If I’ve learned anything about people through the past decade of politics its that you can never ever assume anything about people being intelligent in any group.

        If I’ve learned anything about political discourse it’s that you have to assume that some level of mutual understanding is possible for communication to be worthwhile, and for everything to not devolve into back and forth trolling. So, while you can’t assume intelligence, sure, you also kind of have to.

      So given it an election year you could agree that comparing both potential future presidents is a healthy option.

      Guess your argument is self-defeating, I’m gonna go for a hike 🤷🌲🌲

        In an election year I would agree that agitating complacent liberals into caring about warcrimes is a healthy option

      Plenty seem to think there’s no difference between the two, so they’re either unaware or fascists.

        I actually think the the problem is that most here think there is a difference between Biden supporting genocide and Trump supporting genocide.

              “There’s literally a big difference between limited support for a state committing genocide and unlimited support for a state committing genocide.”

              Sorry that the concept of More being > than Less is, for some reason, confusing to you.

                Is ‘limited support’ supposed to be threatening to sanction the ICC for pursuing charges against Israeli leaders?
