    And you actually believe that not participating pushes towards that goal?

    Not participating in a system which murders the innocent is, indeed, the moral choice.

      Prevent fewer deaths or witness more deaths. Not participating is a choice but still a choice at the end of the day with blood still on your hands. So get the fuck off your high horse.

        Yes, I agree, not participating in killing innocent people is a choice. It’s also the only choice.

        The interactions I’ve had with people labelling themselves as ‘progressive’ have tended towards being negative. What do you want to progress towards? A world built on sacrificing innocent people, I imagine?

          I want fewer people to die, but people like you believe that your feelings matter more than their lives. Of course your interactions with people like me have been negative: you’re fighting for death through inaction.

            I believe the lives of the people being killed matter.
