    How did letting Trump win help to end genocide? In what way does having an administration that literally says Palestine shouldn’t exist and Israel should finish the job and kill all the Palestinians inprove the situation?

    When there’s a fire, something should be done about it, absolutely. But allowing Trump to wind the Presidency is adding gasoline, wind, and dynamite to the Palestinian fire while also unleashing firebombs on Iran and murdering the fire brigade in Ukraine.

    How do you reconcile allowing all this death with your principles?

        Yes. The Dems had a shitty, evil policy on Gaza. But the Republican policy is worse on Gaza and everything else.

        But you motherfuckers decided sending a message to the Dems was more important than Gaza or the rest of the world, and now we’re about to have vaccines and milk outlawed, Ukraine will be taken over by Russia, Concentration Camps will be set up for anyone with slightly brown skin, and more.

        Oh - and Israel will literally kill every Palestinian in Gaza will fully-erect support from Trump and his goons, some of whom are literally trying to bring about the end of the world by eliminating Palestine and returning the Temple to Israel, which is an important part of their Armageddon prophesies.

          I propose an omni-genocide.

          Instead of killing one ethnic or religious groups, we kill ALL of them. Well, all but one.

          We will start by selecting a single ethnic group out of a hat. (And I promise it will be fair, truly random.) We select a single ethnicity out of a hat.

          Everyone else goes to the camps. We’re talking 95%+ of the human population here.

          Yes, the death toll will be horrific. But I assure you, it will be for the greater good. Think of how many people down the ages have been killed due to racial prejudice. Think of how many wars have been fought over ethnicity or race. We have a long and bloody history with racism, and this will continue in the future.

          However, you can’t have racism without racial diversity! So by killing everyone except one randomly selected ethic group, we will completely eliminate racism of all forms. Yes, we sacrifice 7+ billion people now, but in exchange, we eliminate all deaths from racism, from now until the end of time! We’re talking trillions, perhaps quadrillions of lives saved! All it will take is the sacrifice of a few billion.

          From a purely utilitarian perspective, you should support my omni-genocide.
