    “Grandpa, what did you do when the genocides were happening?”

    “Told people off for not being enthusiastic about voting for pro-genocide candidates”

      “No, I meant the one in Sudan”

      “There was one in Sudan? Well, I didn’t do anything. You see, there were no Democrats to blame”

        We aren’t selling weapons for the genocide in Sudan.

        Quit whatabouting in support of genocide.

          So you’re not actually against genocide. You just want someone else to supply the weapons. If China would just take over IDF arms shipments, then you could ignore Gaza too.

            What the heck is this argument? “Well SOMEONE is going to supply the weapons for mass slaughter, might as well be us!”

              The argument is: it makes no difference who supplies the weapons. The only thing that matters is who exerts the most pressure to get a ceasefire.

            My government isn’t spending my tax money to make me an accessory to the genocide in Sudan. You’re just happy that your tax money is being used for a cause you support: the genocide in Gaza.

              Well, as long as your hands are clean then you have nothing to worry about.

              Because the most important thing you need in Gaza is that you can look yourself in your mirror each day and that you can feel good about yourself.

                One of us certainly does. You’re fucking proud to be an accessory to genocide and want anyone who isn’t to shut up.

              I don’t think the person you responded to ever mention being happy about genocide. Why would you lie about that?

                So they expect everyone else to be happy about genocide while being unhappy about it themselves? That makes no sense.

                I trust that you’ll also be calling all the people who accuse anyone who is even slightly unhappy about genocide of being trump supporters liars too, right?

                  When did the person you responded to say that anyone is or is expected to be happy about genocide?

                    So the answer to this is “fuck no, I only call people who don’t support genocide liars.”
