And I’m being serious. I feel like there might be an argument there, I just don’t understand it. Can someone please “steelman” that argument for me?

    As a foreigner, if you voted for a genocider (there was two in this race), I do not think you are human.

    I feel like that’s such an idealistic way of viewing things. Hypothetically, if you had a choice between indirectly supporting genocide or throwing your entire life into chaos you’d rather ruin your own life? If you’re actually willing to ruin your own life for it you’re more passionate about this issue than 99% of the population. For example I don’t have an issue supporting Ukraine, I’ve donated to support packages going to Ukraine. But you won’t find me on the battlefield because there’s a limit to my support and that limit is at not throwing away my life. I guess that makes me inhuman because I could do more and I’m choosing to not to.

    If the table turns sometime, if I have to pick between genocide in the US and fascism here, well, I hope you have a place to hide lmao

    How hypocritical and vindictive. I won’t do what I consider humane because you deserve it.
