Lesson #5 of a war-oriented society:
Any killing we do, not matter how indefensible it is, can only ever be self-defense. Anyone who suffers and dies is a victim not of us but of those who threaten or harm us, or even a victim of themselves.
Tom made up a hypothetical to dunk on student protestors against genocide that’s a major deescalation in tactics of what anti-abortion terrorists have done for half a century, he is a sick man bsky.app/profile/radi...
I just said almost the same thing in the Other Place. What if anti-abortion activists took over Ham Hall and said: We don't move until university health policies change
he became forever blocked for me in 2018, when he was learnedly rolling his eyes that Dems weren’t trying to win the midterms by betraying trans people. Cruel and wrong, explosive combo
What a ridiculous hypothetical scenario. They would never even need to protest for this, the politicians are always reaching to restrict our rights over our own bodies.

I've never heard of a "not-genocide" that involved the attempted eradication of a nationality or religious/ethnic group before.
Probably because the latter is *the very definition of genocide.*

It is incomprehensible that anyone can view the myriad of videos showing dead and dying children and the unmitigated joy of their killers and feel that this is self-defence.
It's not.
It's genocide.
