people are experience violence in this genocide to maintain the lifestyle that we're accustomed to.
we're still choosing violence when we support politicians who enable violence; it's just that, that violence isn't for us this time around.
our declining status gaurantees that the violence will eventually come back to bite us in the ass and the sooner we change things; the less violent it will be.
this is the most succinct argument illustrating the issue that I've seen so far, kudos!
unfortunately for us we've doing it for around 100 years so far so violence is already a guarantee.
the best we can do is minimize it; but an overwhelming majority hold a similar opinion to the one you shared and are acting upon it by voting for politicians whose actions are in direct contradiction to that minimization.
