  • I believe it’s bad phrasing but I’m less interested in policing that during a genocide. Either way they are concepts because everything is, “concept” doesn’t mean made up. And the Holocaust wasn’t unique during the time nor did it only target Jews, but western (and western aligned) schools often portray it with complete disregard for these facts. They don’t mention Hitler was inspired by the US genocide on indigenous people, they don’t mention that the Germans genocided people in Africa before the nazis were a thing, they don’t mention that they were just as eagerly murdering Slavs and Roma people, it’s just “Hitler was a madman opportunist that somehow convinced everyone to kill the Jews specifically”. I didn’t even learn about Martin Luther writing “On the Jews and their lies” which showcases that Christian antisemitism was the basis for modern antisemitism. And instead we get told that valid criticism of Israel makes you an antisemite, and when Israel kills Jews in Iran it’s radio silence.

    there would at least be less genocide and human rights abuse.

    Please look at all the shit Obama did, including authorizing killing random civilians in neutral countries and destroying Libya.

    Biden gave a green light for the extermination of Palestinians in Gaza.

    To us in the global south the difference isn’t that big beyond aesthetics. I don’t feel reassured if a democrat is in office because we’ll be hit hard with IMF extortion starving our children, forcing us to give our resources and do a regime change or an invasion if we refuse, and other bullshit like that whether there’s a democrat there or not.

    But for the sake of argument, let’s pretend the democrats are substantially better abroad. Harris campaigned on having the most lethal army, democrats being the toughest on the border and continuing the genocide in Gaza. If they aren’t willing to do anything better than that then they don’t deserve anyone’s votes.
