If you play for the side of light and goodness, the you have to be consistent. No tiny genocides are allowed. Clearly that's not a problem for the side of darkness.

Either way middle easterns lose, so why play?

There IS logic behind not showing up. The choice is impossible. Hitler vs worse Hitler. This is not something you logic through. If the game is rigged, then you don't play. That's how it is.

Also regarding Muslim ban: not the same thing as aiding the genocide. Can't believe I even have to say it. On the other hand obviously Trump is bad so I call him worse Hitler. I don't know how you didn't catch that.

No empathy on your side. Clearly you haven't been in their position. It's like asking Jews in Nazi Germany to vote for Hitler because the other candidate is somehow worse. Except Hitler already proved himself bad for them and burned their family. They might not vote for the other candidate, but why would the support Hitler?

Yeah that's right. That's why people used to vote for Dems. Up until this time when they proved their lack of action. How would you feel if your relatives were dying in middle East and you are the one voting in government that supports it.

Dude. I actually voted for Kamala. But for God sake just use some empathy for middle eastern community. If I was in their shoes I'd either not vote at all or voted third party. It was a stupid stupid move to put out the message "oh yes we supported the genocide, but look at the other good things we are doing." Honestly that would piss me off even more.

What about it? Two pieces of classic propaganda

[–] Peck@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

It did that and it did the opposite. Meaning it was promoting local cultures many times in it's recent history. Including right now. No other major country in the world is doing that. That all to say that Russia is not as imperialistic as it's perceived. Rather the opposite. Especially as compared to ... Well anything else

Lol yeah. Just look at the results. Everybody still speaks their languages even small ethnicities inside Russia free to teach their languages in school. Now contrast that to native Americans and their languages.

I totally would surrender. Definitely wouldn't fight. Russians are not Israeli or Americans. They actually include people into their country instead of genociding/exploiting them for one resource or another.
