While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.
I am not a friend of Biden’s Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he’s too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and … well, disappointed in Biden or not, I’m voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe’s tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn’t want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.
did ‘everyone gets boiled alive’ materially support a genocide? If no, then I would vote for ‘everyone gets boiled alive’.
Wouldn’t boiling everyone alive constitute a genocide?
That’s up to the intergalactic council to sort out. I doubt it tho. The rest of the universe is pretty uninterested in us.
The definition of genocide doesn’t require authority to be applied. It’s like homicide, even without a conviction someone can be a murderer. What Israel is doing doesn’t need a ruling by the UN to be called a genocide, which is good because the UN apparently still hasn’t made up their mind.
