    You don’t get the choice of no genocide. You get the choice between some genocide far away, or lots of genocide far away and some more at home.

    I suppose that not voting is a choice, but that choice isn’t “I don’t want genocide”, that choice is “I don’t care how much genocide we have”.

      If genocide is an inevitability, that means that the US is a fascist state which must be overthrown by any means necessary, and any farcical “elections” between two people who support genocide are a joke that should not be legitimized through participation!

      phoenix-objection-1phoenix-objection-2 The fact that you’re defending genocide as an inevitability is, in fact, a perfect demonstration of the harm caused by this very participation! The reason that you’ve taken such an abhorrent position is because you’ve centered the US political system as an immovable object. But the real immovable object should be… STOPPING GENOCIDE!

      If your political project cannot draw a hard line against endorsing genocide, then it is worthless!
