Cultural relativism aside, I’m sure we can agree on “terrible” if we talk it out. I’m not asking for a “well X country is worse than Y country, so, Y country isn’t THAT bad”. I’d say for this discussion we can go as far back as 1800 for “past” as I’m currently convinced there isn’t a country with a perfect track record going back even that short a time.

    Holy shit the escalation on Lemmy is just insane. Where the fuck did Optional say genocide enablers are good? There’s 0 reason to make that claim. He said something mildly critical of certain streak of slacktivism on Lemmy and now he’s a genocide supporter.

    Do you ever give even the slightest thought to considering if it would be a bit easier to take you seriously if you wasn’t so insanely hyperbolic all the fucking time?

      The people getting downvoted for calling it out are somehow the bad guys, but the people upvoted in disagreement they genocide is bad is are the good guys.

      Sorry you’re too privileged to know better. Must be nice.
