    other people communicate via music, math, pictures, touch, analogies, pick a form of information transfer.

    These are all variations on labels. They are either effective forms of information transfer, or they’re ineffective. Effective information transfer requires that the recipient can accurately decode the meaning of the message. If your communication mode accomplished that, congratulations you’ve made a label by another name. If it did not, you have not communicated your message.

    No one is saying genocide isn’t wrong, that’s a ridiculous straw man. What people are saying is there are two outcomes: everyone in group A dies, or everyone in group A and group B dies. Not supporting genocide doesn’t end the genocide. This isn’t even the trolley problem because everyone on the side track is also on the main track Harris losing saved no one, and now the additional deaths will start. The performative resistance will be replaced by unlimited support.

    Why do you think all those extra deaths justify your virtue? Don’t Support Genocide will exacerbate the very problem it was intended to solve. This is why absolutism is a childish ethical philosophy doomed to failure. Of course genocide is wrong in every circumstance, but your absolutism just enabled the exacerbation of genocide. I hope your ideological purity is worth the annexation of the West Bank, because that’s your prize

        Profoundly incorrect on all counts. I hope your principles drown out the screams, because those of us with brains and hearts will be screaming with them.
