The genocide is literally being streamed live, and people in the west continue to look the other way while western regimes keep fuelling it.

    Saying I’m justifying something is putting your words in my mouth. Don’t gaslight, it’s beneath you.

        Nope. I’m saying they’re all trash. Equally. It’s very horrible, not to be minimized. But on that same note: I’m not as shocked as OP wants me to be. Are you?

          To say “they’re all trash” is to minimize the horrible behavior as commonplace, and the party committing it as not especially worthy of scorn. For example: “Germany shouldn’t have committed genocide, but what country hasn’t committed genocide?” This is a statement that minimizes the seriousness of genocide. It is a shitty thing to say.
