You're viewing part of a thread.
You are playing the victim. You say you can't change it. You say you can't move. Those are all lies. You can do all of that, you just don't want to. This has been proven by millions of people who have done just that - whether comming into the US, into the UK, Germany, France, or any other country. And yes, voting for policymakers that support genocide and paying taxes into a country that later go to a country to support them in commiting genocide, is "partially supporting genocide" whether you like it or not. An angry facebook post saying "I support Palestine" isn't worth thousands of dollars of your taxes being used on ammunition that later kills people in Gaza.
What are you doing accomplishing making angry comments on Lemmy? You should be volunteering for Amnesty International full time or you are complicit in genocide
You don't know me but you don't even realize how funny it is because the answer is "I already do, try a different gotcha"
You're literally on Lemmy right now when you could be helping people. Aren't you full of guilt that you aren't spending every second of your day helping others?
Or is there some imaginary line that you've crossed but no one else has?
I'm not helping people out of guilt because I don't have guilt - my taxes don't pay for a genocide. I do it to help people. You try to move everything to seem "less bad", you are trying for gotchas when there aren't any. You see "helping people" offsetting "supporting genocide" somehow. Your conscience won't be silenced because you ask questions that don't have anything to do with the fact that you are supporting genocide. You wanted to go for a "you are a hypocrite too!" approach and when it failed spectacularly because I do help people full time, suddenly that's not enough and every second of someone's day needs to be dedicated to doing that "or else you are the same as I, the genocide supporting person that votes for genocide enablers".
It's not a gotcha because I'm not trying to get you. I am making fun of your superiority complex and ridiculous claims that people who don't to move to a new country when their government is doing bad stuff are supporting genocide.
Just because YOU allegedly found it so easy to drop everything in your life doesn't mean everyone has that ability. We are a social species and a lot of us aren't emotionally capable of that kind of separation, not to mention everyone caring for or being cared for by others.
1/3 of the country is struggling to survive paycheck to paycheck and your self-righteous ass is out here calling them heartless. You don't deserve the pedestal you've placed yourself on
Again, whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep well at night. Maybe you'll get a movie about your titanic struggle. By all means, vote for the genocide and then try to convince yourself that you don't support it. Pay for the rockets with your taxes and convince yourself it all went to a children's hospital. After all doing something is inconvenient so let's not do anything. And we can't really accept the truth because then - owie, brain hurt.
PS remember the million Russians that left the country when the invasion into Ukraine happened? Yeah. You are less moral than all of them.
