Don't get me wrong I'm not saying I want the people in these to suffer as an end in and of itself (though I will take the opportunity to enjoy the schadenfreude); I'm just saying that we shouldn't trick ourselves into believing this is the result of a minority forcing their desires on an unwilling majority. That matters, among other things, because it means that more radical change is needed than "remove the bad guy and replace him with a good guy". Many people here act like if Putin/Trump/Netanyahu disappeared Russia/America/Israel would stop being an active force of evil, but that's simply not the case, so I'm trying to push back against that myth.

Yeah fair enough, I'm probably being autistic about this and maybe taking literally what you meant hyperbolically. In any respect I don't want to fall into a semantic argument circle-jerk lol

I think i understand what you meant now and I dont think what we believe is all that different anyway
