    I’m not helping people out of guilt because I don’t have guilt - my taxes don’t pay for a genocide. I do it to help people. You try to move everything to seem “less bad”, you are trying for gotchas when there aren’t any. You see “helping people” offsetting “supporting genocide” somehow. Your conscience won’t be silenced because you ask questions that don’t have anything to do with the fact that you are supporting genocide. You wanted to go for a “you are a hypocrite too!” approach and when it failed spectacularly because I do help people full time, suddenly that’s not enough and every second of someone’s day needs to be dedicated to doing that “or else you are the same as I, the genocide supporting person that votes for genocide enablers”.

      It’s not a gotcha because I’m not trying to get you. I am making fun of your superiority complex and ridiculous claims that people who don’t to move to a new country when their government is doing bad stuff are supporting genocide.

      Just because YOU allegedly found it so easy to drop everything in your life doesn’t mean everyone has that ability. We are a social species and a lot of us aren’t emotionally capable of that kind of separation, not to mention everyone caring for or being cared for by others.

      1/3 of the country is struggling to survive paycheck to paycheck and your self-righteous ass is out here calling them heartless. You don’t deserve the pedestal you’ve placed yourself on

        Again, whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep well at night. Maybe you’ll get a movie about your titanic struggle. By all means, vote for the genocide and then try to convince yourself that you don’t support it. Pay for the rockets with your taxes and convince yourself it all went to a children’s hospital. After all doing something is inconvenient so let’s not do anything. And we can’t really accept the truth because then - owie, brain hurt.

        PS remember the million Russians that left the country when the invasion into Ukraine happened? Yeah. You are less moral than all of them.
