It is not a jump. When it comes to genocide, you are either for it or against. There is no center, no above, no neutral. The only other option is being unaware.

It is not a jump. When it comes to genocide, you are either for it or against. There is no center, no above, no neutral. The only other option is being unaware. What is being done in the west is people continuously being made aware and forced to make a choice. It's not a pleasant choice to make either way, so it's understandable that people are not happy to have to make it. But trying to carve out a neutral position where there is none, is not going to work.
- carlosjobim 3y ago> is not going to work. What are you going to do about it, tiger? You can't force anybody to think the way you want them to think. You are only going to frustrate yourself with your power trip fantasy.
- jevgeni 3y agoExpecting people to adhere to humane values is not a power trip fantasy.
- somethingreen 3y agoIt is true, we can't force people to think the way we want, nor should we want to. What we can do, hopefully, is make them live with the consequences of admitting the way they think, whatever that entails. There are countries where it is not against the law to be a nazi, but you still get to live as a nazi.
- gloryjulio 3y agoJust let Putin genocide supporters to admit that they support Putin's genocide instead of supporting Ukraine's right to defense is good enough ;)
