    If my choices are veiled fascism or open fascism I’d rather have it out in the open so we can fight it.

        If we’re willing to condone genocide by an ally then we’re willing to condone one here. And the reason it’s called veiled is because they have the same goals, they’re just shy about saying it out loud.

            You do realize how responsibility works? Because down your illogical rabbit hole lies this future statement, “If Biden isn’t personally shooting them is he really responsible for the genocide?”

            The answer to your question lies in the madness of de facto versus de jure. De Facto, we are and this is why the Houthis are going after our ships. Just like the Germans did in both world wars. De Jure, there is no war in Ba Sing Se.

            He’s not committing genocide, he’s only sending billions in support of genocide. I understand completely.

            I’ve got news for you, aiding and abaiting genocide is also a crime. And in fact member states of the UN have an obligation to pursue the enforcement of the prohibition of genocide. The mere vetos of the US on UN resolutions for cease fire should be enough. We won’t even talk about the weapons trade.

        Voting for the guys that gave Hitler a position of power for temporary political gain sure as hell didn’t work.
