Now you're getting it. A genuine moment of self reflection on Lemmy.
1 claims to be anti-genocide.
2 votes for a pro-genocide party.
3 "war is peace" any vote for non-genocide is actually a vote for pro-genocide Orwellian nonsense.
4 posits purity test they cant pass themselves.
You summarised them perfectly.
Indeed! The actual consequences of (in)actions are unimportant so long as claimed intentions are pure…
"I really wish people would stop judging me for being part of the 'Pro-Genocide Club' [actual consequences of my (In)action], I'M not pro-genocide! [My intention were pure]"
Of course! Increasing genocide is of little consequence compared with suffering people’s judgment. Glad we share priorities
I don't know what to tell you if you can't see the brazen hypocrisy.
Here's my entire premise: if you're going to be setting purity checks, make sure you pass them first. That's it, you can try distract with "others fail it worse" all you want, but it's just a distraction. I'll try keep you on track though:
Pug chose both to support genocide and be judged for their failure of attempt at moral superiority. Stop defending them, you're only making Pug look worse.
Interesting. Genuinely, thanks for your reply— I’m beginning to think there’s been some sort of misunderstanding (likely on my part). I definitely was not defending Pug’s comment...
Nah, I'm a terrible communicator at the best of times. Worse this is a heated topic where revelations come after the fact if at all.
