I’m not going to argue about severity, especially when the only side that even pretended to try to deescalate was Trump. Genocide is genocide. It’s a hard line for me; any amount is unacceptable.
I just can’t justify supporting a party that not only won’t denounce it, but actively funds and defends it. If the consequences for that mean that the people who voted for Kamala keep smugly implying that the instruments of imperialism being turned inward is somehow my fault then I guess I’ll just have to endure that relatively small indignity.
We’re not funding Russia in that conflict.
And we’re not funding Ukraine to the same levels so the Russia imperialists are killing them and stealing their land.
Okay? They’re still not funding Russia though. We shouldn’t support Russia’s genocide. Does this satisfy you?
By not funding Ukraine we are though.
We’re directly supporting it.
That is literally the opposite of what words mean. We are funding Ukraine’s defense, not supporting Russia. I don’t know how to make this any clearer.
And I don’t know how to make my point any clearer that things have gotten worse for them since Trump got in.
They may have under Harris too. We’ll never know. Did she make any campaign promises about it?
Either way, it’s the same trolley problem; are you fine with supporting genocide in Gaza for the benefit of Ukraine?
But Gaza hasn’t gotten any better.
It was much much worse last year when they didn’t allow aid in and tons of people were starving.
