[green, pointing to a clock with Hitler above it, that reads 11:30] Oh no, look… It's half to Hitler

[yellow, annoyed] Chill out buddy, don't be such an alarmist

[green, pointing to a clock with Hitler above it, that reads 11:45] Oh no, look… It's quarter to Hitler

[yellow, rude] Yeah I get it, I tweeted about it, leave me be

[green, pointing to a clock with Hitler above it, that reads 11:55] Oh no, look… It's five to Hitler

[yellow, scared] Oh shit oh fuck, we really need to do something NOW

[green, pointing to a clock with Hitler above it, that reads 11:59] Oh shit, look… It's one to Hitler

[yellow, terrified] It's too late now, wish we could have seen it coming earlier

Playing "the long game" on genocide is effectively actively murdering people, especially when previous administrations have actually employed the "yank the chain" policy on israel. There is no long game here, there's genocide or no genocide.

As we speak, the genocide is ongoing. So nothing you advocate actually helped.

You can stamp your feet and scream all you want, but ignoring the facts does nothing.

But I won't support a genocide either, rhetorically or with a vote as you have. It's called having principles. Try it.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So we both agree that your high principles did nothing to actually stop the genocide.

I am fine with having the same level of principles as Frederick Douglas, Bayard Ruskin, and the WW2 partisans who took aid from colonial England and racist America.

Don't forget being way into genocide

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If I enjoyed genocide I'd be like you. Sit on the sidelines and do nothing at all, then proclaim how morally superior I was.

Sadly, that's the most intelligent thing you've added to the conversation.
