Yes, sooner or later it will be recognised by most.
I’m old enough to remember the years after the Cambodian Genocide when the US supported the genocidal Khmer Rouge being the representatives for Cambodia at the UN, locking out the actual government of Cambodia.
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.
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.
Well, no western country has either.
Here is the list in case anyone is interested:
I think you might be missing a few. Eg Nicaragua, Maldives.
In terms of the West, Ireland, Spain, and Norway are probably close to openly calling it a genocide.
It’s getting so bad that even white heads of state are considering calling it the genocide it is.

These travesties happen every so often.

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.
I disagree.
I know. That’s why you keep trying to justify support for genocide with excuses.
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.
“Everybody’s doing it” is an excuse.
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?
