I understand where are you coming from. But you honestly believe that a person that enables genocide abroad isn’t evil?
By your logic, every leader of a 1st world country for the last several decades is evil.
I have this conversation every single time I open up lemmy these days…
Biden isn’t enabling a genocide. If the US completely stopped sending anything to Israel, Israel would still be conducting this genocide. Netanyahu said so himself. Israel generates its own war supplies and exports its excess.
The only thing that would change is the US would lose the influence it has left in the middle east and some other (likely hostile) nation would scoop up that spot. That’s the real reason the US is still party to this.
Everyone who believes Biden is evil because they think he has a magic genocide-off button on his desk isn’t paying attention.
Say it louder for the people in the back!
I understand and agree. But being complicit and helping the genocide (and basically enabling it by not saying it is one out loud) could be considered evil.
Now, Biden may not be evil. But it’s foreign policy in this regard might be.
Still, the genocide will be carried out. But enabling it does not help. And I say it again. If Biden is evil, it does not matter. It is better than Trump. You do not need to portray him in a good light. He just needs to be supported more than Trump. Vote Biden.
We Argentinians elected a fascist as president. I can and would have got behind the right if it meant stopping this pos.
By your logic, every leader of a 1st world country for the last several decades is evil.
They are, unironically
The US is one of only a few countries that have voted against the last two UN resolutions. You’re not wrong, but the US government is a special type of evil.
Both the Biden and Trump regimes have also opposed separate UN resolutions against condemning the glorification of Nazism
I’m not saying they aren’t. I’m saying that taking the moral high ground by relinquishing your vote to choose between a number of leaders because you don’t want to vote for someone “evil” means that you are disqualifying yourself from every major election almost everywhere by default.
That’s an enormously stupid take.
Everyone who believes Biden is evil because they think he has a magic genocide-off button on his desk isn’t paying attention.
Who’s been blocking the last two UN resolutions on a ceasefire? Who’s been bypassing congress to arm a genocidal settler state? I’m sure Trump would also do this, maybe worse, but stop trying to pretend your corpse emperors shit doesn’t stink
🙄 Way to miss the point.
Do you understand that it’s possible to hold the belief that what the US is doing with Israel is wrong and also realize that the US can’t independently stop it from happening?
Did you read what I typed or not? The reason the US is still in this is their influence in the middle east. I’m not arguing that corpse-emperor is almighty and correct, I’m saying that geopolitics is a thing.
If we can’t have an actual discussion about this without you putting words in my mouth to paint it like I support that, then I guess this conversation ends here.
I’m reading what you typed, you’re just wrong and appear to have a tenuous grip on reality so I’m fine to stop talking here too.
Sure, that’s what it is.
Anyway, here’s some reading material for you in the form of relevant discussion backing up most of what I said. You might learn something.
Although something makes me think you won’t come to understand the overall picture mostly by choice, since you seem to be stuck on your hate boner for Biden.
In my experience, it’s the people who accuse other people of having a tenuous grip on reality who tend to be extremely rigid in their own biases and are afraid to challenge them.
So have fun with that. Later.
That’s a lot of words to claim that a global superpower is somehow unable to bring its dog to heel.
Have fun defending genocide to someone who will believe you.
