    The difference is that 2 genocides is not the same place as 1 genocide.

    How do you find yourself typing something like this and not pause for thought?

      What’s worse than genocide?

      2 genocides.

      I don’t know how to make this any more clear.

          The meme is the trolly problem, and this guy is saying “it doesn’t matter if you pull the lever, someone dies either way, it’s exactly the same!”

          Except in the actual situation is more like “if you pull the lever the trolly will divert from running over group A and will run over group B. If you do nothing the trolly accelerates and runs over both groups A and B.”

          I’m saying it’s worth pulling the lever while you work on a solution to stop the trolly. Someone arguing against that either doesn’t care about group A, or cares more about not being involved than in actually saving lives.

        Hell yeah brother. Personally I think Hitler was fucking great and would vote for him in a heartbeat if it meant stopping Himmler from being in charge. /s

          I think Hitler was fucking great

          At what point did I say Democrats were fucking great? They are absolute shit and people need to stand up for something better.

          You also need to live in fucking reality a realize that stopping things from getting a lot fucking worse is worthwhile while you work on trying to get something better.

          Also, Republican’s are the Nazi’s here. You refused to vote against Hitler.

            Himmler was also a Nazi, genius, that was the point of the analogy.

            And when both sides are genocidal fascists, the lesser evil option is whatever destroys the country the fastest.

              Cool, what are your doing to destroy the country faster? Or having you convinced yourself that inaction is helpful?

                To be clear, I personally don’t believe that genocidal fascism has to be a non-negotiable bipartisan policy that we just have to accept. I’m just trying to make the point that, if I did accept that premise, then the logical next step would be accelerationism.

            So glad actual hitler was defeated by voting against him.

            The people who make compromises with the Nazis have convinced you that voting is the most important and only tool at your disposal.

              I’m so glad Hitler was voted into power and not Himmler that would’ve been bad.

              voting is the most important and only tool at your disposal.

              Never said that either. You seem to be having a conversation with someone else so I’ll leave you to it.
