      Yup. I’m smug and you’re a hypocrite who is ok with innocent Ukrainian civilians getting killed by an invasion force that has no business being there. Think about that. You want civilians to die for world politics

        You want civilians to die for world politics

        You say this like “politics” is some nebulous, worthless thing. People typically want wars that are disruptive of the status quo because they view it as the only way to change systems in which, e.g., a much greater number of civilians live under brutal oppression, as their grandparents did and their grandchildren will if the state machinery is not smashed. You’re like the people who bemoan the Haitian Revolution because some white families died with no concern for the fact that it was a slave state and the revolution stopped, it cannot be stressed enough, the continuous, literal chattel enslavement of an entire country’s worth of people.

        THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

            Notice I also brought up France, where people were not chattel slaves but living in oppression and fought a revolution that conservatives still have not forgiven them for.

            So the question is “What humanitarian issues are you saying would actually get better by Russia invading?” And my answer is that the Euromaidan coup government was culturally repressing the better part of eastern Ukraine, which was the material basis for their revolting against the Ukrainian government, which resulted in an eight year war of the slaughtering of civilians and journalists in the east with indiscriminate bombing and shooting. Russia’s victory over Ukraine is the best chance they have to live without cultural repression or slaughter.

                It’s notable that you think that the victims of a genocide should have no bargaining chips to negotiate with.

                Two wrongs don’t make a right

                You are very willing to excuse stuff like the Ukrainian military attacking civilian targets and using civilian facilities to stage military activities. For some reason, it’s only non-white people whom you apply these standards to.

                    If taking hostages is enough for you to condemn a people to a genocide, then what the Ukrainian military does should be enough for you to support their loss, especially considering that the stakes are much lower.

                I have a give and take relationship with people on the internet.

                This is toddler logic. You have to use violent tactics to resist genocide, it inherently involves committing “wrongs”.

                    When all resistance is bad but you appeal to the idea that there’s some undiscovered type of resistance that is acceptable, what you are telling the victims here to do is roll over and die until some Great Man discovers that undiscovered type of resistance that liberals don’t condemn.

                    Fighting Israel tooth and nail is the only answer, and the handful of mostly-military captives Hamas took (and Israel fucking slaughtered!) does not mean that there is any moral equivalency (“two wrongs”) or that Hamas and its coalition are not the best means Palestinians have to fight Israel.

                More Palestinians were dead by October 8th, and the number since then has increased by two to three orders of magnitude.

                The people abducted were mostly military, and some elderly hostages were released very quickly on account of their age. Hamas takes pretty good care of the, it must be stressed, captives taken in a military conflict, while Israel has mostly been fine with slaughtering them in indiscriminate bombing in classic Hannibal Directive fashion.

                This is all ignoring that, outside of children (whose parents are to be blamed), there really aren’t civilians on the border with Gaza, as the “civilians” are still part of the enactment of Israel’s lebensraum.

                Have you considered a much more urgent and pressing matter is that ISISrael has a city-state the size of municipal Johannesburg under siege; has destroyed every mosque, university, hospital, school, UN office, several diplomatic offices, the civil registry, water treatment plant, all farmland, media office, the Court of Justice, cemeteries, most high-rise buildings, effectively banned food and water, etc. At least 50,000 (likely even in the several hundred thousands) have been massacred, with priority targets being UN workers, humanitarian aid, civil rescue/defense, paramedics, professors, doctors and journalists. Several hostages have also been killed. Deaths of Hamas fighters in contrast, have been largely incidental. All of this also recorded live on the free iPhone 15 Pro Max the Nazi soldiers are given.

                Hamas was also ready to negotiate the total release of all hostages in exchange for a permanent end to hostilities literally as early as 9 October.

                Take a wild guess as to why South Africa for instance, no longer has an active underground resistance.

                7 October had maybe, a marginal effect on the already violent Nazi sentiments of ISISrael and it’s supporters.

            You have admitted that you do not support a resistance to a genocide, and you don’t understand why resistance to a genocide is just.

            But hey, sure, let’s hear how much you don’t support the rest of the things that I listed, despite uncritically regurgitating your empire’s propaganda (even though your empire has admitted to having no evidence to support it).
