First of all, it's the principle of not participating in a literal fucking genocide. Second, Americans can do what they want to do without Canada continuing to send weapons to them to commit atrocities. Seems like a really low bar for anybody with even a shred of moral integrity.
We just pretend what? Seems to me that the argument you're trying to make here is if we don't facilitate the genocide, then somebody else will.
And yet, the fact of the matter remains that we couldn't even pass this performative and toothless act. What does that say about our government?
It will never cease to amaze how easy it is for some people to make excuses for participating in a genocide. Saying I will not be part of a genocide is itself a meaningful objective, and if you do not understand this simple truth then you're truly lost.
The thing is, Trump will fuck Canada regardless of how many atrocities Canada signs up to do together. Just look at the Europeans bending over backwards for him, and all they get in return is abuse. Abandoning all your values to suck up to fascists is not pragmatism, it's debasement.
I'm frankly amazed that you don't realize just how psychopathic the whole argument that since we can't stop the genocide we might as well take part in it is. If you're not gonna draw the line at that, then you're no better than the fascists you're taking photo ops with.
The fact that you don't understand that participating in a genocide is immoral shows that there really is no point continuing having a discussion.
Bud, your whole argument is basically equivalent to seeing your boss murdering people, and going well I don't really want my boss to be mad at me, so I'll guess I'll just go around carrying ammo for him since he's going to murder people regardless. And if you think that's reasonable, what else is there to say about you.
Why are you even bothering replying at this point, just compulsively need to have the last word like the reddit debate bro that you are?
having a stroke?
imbecilic perseveration
ok there genocide loving clown
