    Ongoing genocide is at the top of my “what I’m concerned about” list. If it isn’t for you, maybe you should reflect on that a little

      Some people think an administration and a party that out right lies about a genocide happening care about them. If someone in a position of power, not only ignore but also support clear evidence of genocide and keep repeating statement that means nothing, they are either agent for a foreign country “AIPAC” or they are in it for themselves and have zero care for poor people.

        Don’t forget CUFI, it’s actually bigger and more powerful than AIPAC but doesn’t get as much attention. Christian Zionists are insane psychopaths hell bent on destroying the world (literally)

      Which one?

      • North Korea
      • Myanmar
      • Bangladesh and India
      • China
      • Hamas and Israel
      • Ethiopia
      • Democratic Republic of Congo

      Or is it only what Israel is doing, and only your concern because you can use it as propaganda to tweak the 2024 presidential election in the US?

          So definitely China, then, because it’s super impossible for you to avoid products made there and exported to the US.

          And fuck those people being genocided where your tax dollars aren’t going, amirite?

            Isn’t that what you’re saying? Except for all of them including Palestinians?

              Ongoing genocide is at the top of my “what I’m concerned about” list.

              I’ll ask again: Which one(s)?

                  Still on the tax dollars thing then? As long as it’s not coming out of your pocket, it’s whatever. (Except China, of course.)

        Who is North Korea even meant to be genociding?

        I’m gonna venture a guess that the US could more easily stop Israel’s genocide than any of the others on the list. Like your source’s recommendation for how to address whatever’s allegedly happening in North Korea is to go in and overthrow the government, like we did in Iraq. Seems just a little bit harder than making arms shipments conditional.

            I’d ask whether there’s even a shred of evidence that North Koreans are genociding themselves, but I’m not sure if this is another one of those situations where examining evidence is a bannable offense.

      Ongoing genocide isn’t at the top of drag’s priority list. The top of drag’s list is the imminent omnicide due to climate change. Drag thinks omnicide is a bigger deal than genocide.
