Celebrating at the DNC in a Time of Genocide
Celebrating at the DNC in a Time of Genocide
Joy was everywhere—as long as you didn’t think about Gaza.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Your bad faith argument
So you can't even accept that there are real people who genuinely care about the Gazans.
That says a lot about you and the company you keep. (And, to be fair, the entire white supremacist culture of the United States.)
I’ll easily turn a blind eye to something happening a half a world away
I would bet dollars to dimes that your tune would be different if it were a white country being genocided.
You would never be this unconcerned about Ukraine.
so the people nearest and dearest to me can continue to exist.
The people near you are not in any of danger of being deliberately wiped out by American bombs. The people in Gaza are.
(But they're brown people, so I understand why it's hard for you to feel concerned.)
Yikes. I’m disengaging now. You’ve baselessly called me a white supremacist, insulted the company in which I keep, put words in my mouth, and downplayed very real threats because the threat isn’t a bomb. It’s clear you can’t be communicated with. See you in another life!

You’ve baselessly called me a white supremacist
I’m saying you think it’s normal to be unconcerned about brown people being genocided because you’ve grown up in a white supremacist culture which continues to portray non-Western cultures as primitive savages who ought to be subordinated by white people, with force if necessary.
Do you listen to yourself?
Did I say something untrue?
I'm not the person you've been replying to, just an onlooker and yeah... You're out of pocket, bro. Take a breath. You're resorting to ad hominems, and personal attacks about a person you know nothing about. It makes you (and your argument) look really bad.
You’re resorting to ad hominems
So did they. They accused me of arguing in bad faith.
about a person you know nothing about
No, I know what it means when someone expresses disbelief at the very concept of caring about non-white foreigners.
Dude you are either incapable of understanding the nuance of reality, or you're just posting in bad faith. Take a look at my comment history and tell me that I don't care about people of color.
You called someone (who ostensibly agrees with you for the most part) a white supremacist because you can't grasp nuance.
or you’re just posting in bad faith
And now you're doing it. (Resorting to ad hominems, that is.)
