    Well, no western country has either.

    So? Does that make continuing to enable genocide right? Is that some sort of fucking justification? If not, why bring it up? “Everyone else is doing it” is another shitty excuse, and the fourth I’ve seen here on lemmy. The other three, summarized:

    “That’s the way we’ve always done it;” “We might be called antisemitic by the party that chants ‘Jews will not replace us’;” and “Trump loves it so that makes it ok.”

    This is what I mean about support for genocide on lemmy. Making shit excuses for it instead of condemning it.

      No. Just stop. You see something you don’t like and you make up a bunch of other subtext.

      What we need LESS of is people acting like the US is the only country with power.

      My comment is a lot more educational than you want to admit. A lot of people probably needed to know that the list of countries is small. Not because “genocide good,” but because those people probably thought the list was a lot longer—and they should be concerned about it.

      I guarantee you couldn’t rattle off that list. All you know is USA USA USA USA.

      That’s the problem with social media. You’re not here to fight genocide, you’re here to abuse people, and chase them into the far right wing with your false accusations.

        and chase them into the far right wing with your false accusations.

        If you’re going to be a trump supporter because I dared to suggest that you quit making shit excuses for genocide, you were already a trump supporter.

              That’s not what’s going on, and you know it. You’re just trying to make me feel bad by gaslighting me. It won’t work, because I know what you’re doing.

                  I’m not saying that. You’re angry I want to be mad at ALL the 193 UN countries ignoring genocide and not just my own.

                  All we would need is 97 of them for a majority vote to pass a resolution. Why does the US even matter at that point?

                    The US is my country, and it being a democracy and me being a citizen, the only one for which I bear any responsibility.

                    Though it’s probably easier to get 97 nations to oppose genocide than to convince Joe Biden to.
