      Bruh - where’d anyone say there isn’t a genocide happening in Ukraine?

      Let me be clear: The question of Russia’s genocide of Ukrainians is no less uncertain than Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. If one is genocide, both are genocide.

      You’re acting like this is some big-brained, “checkmate atheists” point you’re making, but it completely falls apart when you consider who is and isn’t getting help.

      The US is arming Ukraine in it’s defense against genocide.

      The US is arming Israel in the perpetration of genocide.

      If the US was arming Russia instead of Ukraine, you could bet your ass that “the kids” would be “whining” about it just the same, and you’d still be calling it manufactured outrage.

      On the other hand - this all begs the question - would the US be so readily aiding Ukraine if the population weren’t white and culturally similar? What if the Palestinians were white and christian?

      Let’s stay on topic. I talked about him allowing isreal to wage a holocaust on Palestinians. If he would leverage the same sanctions on Israel as on Russia or even threaten them I wouldn’t have complaints.

          I’m trying really hard to decipher this comment and failing miserably. I have no idea what you’re saying.

                My point was that the kids are running around climbing over one another to accuse Biden of genocide for honoring an agreements made decades ago, and approving bills that contain a shit ton of nuance and political complications they have no idea what means.

                These same kids couldn’t have pointed to Palestine on a map six months ago, and couldn’t have cared less what was going on there, either.

                It’s manufactured outrage with its own built in popularity booster. All you have to do is make some noise about Palestine online and people will crowd around you!

                Meanwhile, no one gives a shit that the same atrocities are being committed against Ukraine.

                Which tells me that the outrage isn’t about what’s happening to the Palestinian people- it’s that “Biden is supporting it.”

                Which tells me that the “gEnOciDe jOe” nonsense is a right-wing troll movement and nothing more.
