    Problem is the American people being openly in favor of genocide, as long as their team is the one committing the genocide. This includes the “progressives” you find here on lemmy, arguing that it is okay to vote for genocide because the Reps would do more genocide.

    The American people, and many other people in the world (Germany, UK, France…) are complicit.

      I think it’s meant to shock a few with conscience and borderline consciousness into thinking about it actively, but I could be wrong.

      Nobody but republicans are voting for genocide. Everyone with a conscious and brain are voting for the lesser of two evils because that’s the only choice we have. You’re inflammatory BS does nothing but make you seem more fringe, less thoughtful, and therefore easier to ignore.

        So who is bypassing congress to deliver bombs to Israel? Is it Trump? I thought Joe Biden is the current president. And Biden kept pushing the fact that he is a staunch Zionist. Also Harris kept talking about supporting Israel, providing a stage for families of Israeli hostages, while denying any Palestinian to speak on stage at the DNC congress.

        However your immediate attack shows exactly the problem. When people have the wrong skin colour or are in the wrong place, American culture is fine with denying them their humanity and human rights. And that is across the political spectrum as you are showing with your comment.

      Yeah, go ahead and have extra-genocide. I’m sure everyone being harmed appreciates that your maintaining your morals by instead doing nothing.

      In the trolley problem you get a choice to pull the lever or not. Choosing not to is still a choice. In this one you can choose to divert the trolley to kill a fraction of the people, or choose to keep the trolley on course where it’ll kill the people on that other track and a bunch of others. Make your choice. You don’t get out of making a choice by abstaining. That’s still a choice.
