    I guess once this is all said and done we’ll say never again, but we did that after WWII and here we are trying to tell the victims of genocide in WWII to remember that it’s a bad fucking thing and don’t do it.

    Just what the fuck.

      The funny part about that is… Isn’t Germany supporting this genocide too?

      North Korea has been running dozens of literal concentration camps, but dealing with that has been too inconvenient. And it’s only becoming more so as time passes.

        Yeah, and China, and Myanmar, and it wasn’t my intention to trivialize those - they are anything but. I was more pointing out that the last time this particular group was involved and the reason they’re even on that land at all. The irony of the whole messed up situation.

        Is my country funding North Korean death camps? Suffering is suffering and all of it matters, but when my tax dollars are paying for it, it just hits a bit differently.

        Israel through AIPAC is also dumping $100m on this election cycle aimed directly at progressive candidates. Fuck Israel hard. We don’t want foreign interference in US elections from Russia, and we don’t want it from Israel either. We should have cut those fuckers off ages ago.

        Careful lemmy doesnt appreciate “what about ism” it detracts from their flavour of atrocity support.

        Support the popular atrocity only dont mention any other.
