I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb.

It's almost like the current and immediate conflict between Israel and Palestinians isn't the singular thing that the world should have serious concern about, and that realistic solutions to longstanding international diplomacy issues are - wait for it - hard.
- But hard things are hard and involve complexity and nuance! I'd much rather call people racist, spout a simplistic solution and call it a day.
  
  You forgot to smugly pat yourself on the back!
  
  Nuh uh!
  
  You'd rather stay in your heavily censored echo chamber.
  
  OmG It"s Sooo HarD To ApplY The UN CONvenTioN.
  
  The genociders are hiding behind nuance and "it's complicated" to explain how they are supporting war crime. Biden and Harris broke the law (international and domestic) by sending weapons to genociders. It's nothing complicated.
  
  I'm pretty sure the people in Beyruth getting bombed with chemical weapons find the situation quite easy to understand.
- It's a genocide not a "conflict." An ongoing genocide is the number one thing I will care about and you don't get to decide I shouldn't care about it
  
  So you're gonna make sure that the guy who told Netanyahu "Do what you need to do" doesn't get into office, right?
  
  Just making sure you call it what it is, it's not a conflict, it's a genocide
  
  You're right, we should definitely end all trade with China.
- Ongoing genocide is at the top of my "what I'm concerned about" list. If it isn't for you, maybe you should reflect on that a little
  
  Some people think an administration and a party that out right lies about a genocide happening care about them. If someone in a position of power, not only ignore but also support clear evidence of genocide and keep repeating statement that means nothing, they are either agent for a foreign country "AIPAC" or they are in it for themselves and have zero care for poor people.
  
  Don't forget CUFI, it's actually bigger and more powerful than AIPAC but doesn't get as much attention. Christian Zionists are insane psychopaths hell bent on destroying the world (literally)
  
  Which one?
  
  North Korea
  
  Myanmar
  
  Bangladesh and India
  
  China
  
  Hamas and Israel
  
  Ethiopia
  
  Democratic Republic of Congo
  
  Or is it only what Israel is doing, and only your concern because you can use it as propaganda to tweak the 2024 presidential election in the US?
  
  The one that is made possible by my tax dollars
  
  So definitely China, then, because it's super impossible for you to avoid products made there and exported to the US.
  
  And fuck those people being genocided where your tax dollars aren't going, amirite?
  
  And fuck those people being genocided where your tax dollars aren’t going, amirite?
  
  Isn't that what you're saying? Except for all of them including Palestinians?
  
  Getting back to the point, why aren't you raging about Chinese genocide?
  
  Ongoing genocide is at the top of my "what I'm concerned about" list.
  
  I'll ask again: Which one(s)?
  
  The one my government is aiding and defending regularly
  
  Still on the tax dollars thing then? As long as it's not coming out of your pocket, it's whatever. (Except China, of course.)
  
  Again, how is that different from your position?
  
  If it isn't different, then you're just as shit as you're accusing me of being.
  
  Ukraine, actually.
  
  The US is actively, ongoing, and directly funding and supporting the genocide of the Palestinians
  
  Who is North Korea even meant to be genociding?
  
  I'm gonna venture a guess that the US could more easily stop Israel's genocide than any of the others on the list. Like your source's recommendation for how to address whatever's allegedly happening in North Korea is to go in and overthrow the government, like we did in Iraq. Seems just a little bit harder than making arms shipments conditional.
  
  Their own citizens, I'd assume
  
  I'd ask whether there's even a shred of evidence that North Koreans are genociding themselves, but I'm not sure if this is another one of those situations where examining evidence is a bannable offense.
  
  Ongoing genocide isn't at the top of drag's priority list. The top of drag's list is the imminent omnicide due to climate change. Drag thinks omnicide is a bigger deal than genocide.
- And here we have the racist argument saying that brown people cant behave anyway. The middle east always had been a shithole, right?
