    I never voted for genocide.

    I only voted for Kamala to keep trump from getting elected.

    How are you blaming me for genocide. ?

    As if I had any power over that.

    I’ve been aware of Palestine being taken over for almost 2 decades.

    But I had zero power to do anything about it.

    Are you responsible for everything your government does?

        What atrocities has your country done?

        If you voted you caused it. If you didn’t vote you let others cause it so you caused it by your inaction.

        That’s your logic.

        If I’m guilty than you are equally at fault friend.

        But you can sit here and point fingers at your fellow man instead of blaming the actual people responsible.

        You are just as bad as those blaming immigrants for all their problems.

          I voted third party, not for either genocidal mainstream party. I also organize in real life, I don’t treat politics like an event once every 2 years. I’ll point fingers at the ones responsible, the capitalist system, the capitalist class, and those that enable them. You’re one of the enablers, and until youunderstand the necessity for moving beyond liberalism instead of protecting it, you’ll always be an enabler of fascism and genocide.

      One post ago you were saying, and I quote “No liberal supports [Genocide]. Literally none.”

      Now you’re trying to pivot to “well I don’t personally support genocide (though I did vote for it”

        Liberals are by their definition against using force on others.

        Are you just pretending or genuinely ignorant of how little power the people have on what politicians do ?

        They lie to us. They get elected. They vote how they want. We have literally no way to remove them.

        Israel uses social media and money to get their picks promoted and elected.

        You greatly over estimate the power of individual citizens.

        I never voted for genocide. But people who didn’t vote did. Because they knew trump was going to start wars.

        Go on and pretend you are above it all. But I don’t see you fixing anything. I dont see you running for office.

        I don’t see you promoting the right people.

        You just pretend by doing nothing , you are not responsible.

        Sure.

        So if I didn’t vote. That would absolve me ?

        This is like arguing with a brick wall.

        I’ll just call up trump right now and tell him to stop this awful war cause I definitely have that kind of power.

          None of the individual fascist footsoldiers on the eastern front had political power either. Together they perpetrated a world-historical slaughter in the name of nation and race. I’m sure many of them would say the same thing. Perhaps some didn’t even support nazism, and were simply trying individually to get by. Collectively, they were nazism’s instruments regardless of their individual reasoning.

          You individual calculus for supporting what you did does not matter here. It is less than a grain of sand on the tides of history. What matters is the political bloc you bound yourself to by your support, and the genocide that many such individual bindings served to legitimize. For one reason or another, you chose to become a single snowflake in an avalanche of death and inhumanity. The why does not matter, only the what.
