      Not in the slightest. But allowing more genocides to grow and occur throughout the world because you’re angry about one genocide in particular is absurd.

      We can’t save everyone, and we have to accept that. That doesn’t mean we can’t try to save as many people as possible, however.

        Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword.

        Matthew 26:52

          1. I’m not religious. I just play one to fuck with evangelicals.

          2. There’s a great TikTok meme where Peter takes “you are my rock” to mean “be Dwayne the Rock and crush your enemies”

          3. If I can save people by taking up the sword, then I accept perishing by it as penance.

            Rather, evil is perpetuated when immoral principles become normalized over time by people who do not think about things from the standpoint of others. Evil becomes commonplace; it becomes the everyday. Ordinary people — going about their everyday lives — become complicit actors in systems that perpetuate evil. Source
