"No no trust us, I'm against Israel's genocide, I'm just not gonna use any influence to stop it, I'm not going to make it part of my campaign, I'm going to tell people protesting the genocide to shut up and that I'm speaking. I am clearly anti-genocide, just let me keep with Biden's pro-genocide polices."
I'm sure a non-zero amount support it, but it's like thinking that everyone in America is guilty of the invasion of Iraq.
If there is a Israel citizen who is against the Genocide, I don't want them considered guilty. I think they should be doing as much as they can against it, and being neutral to it is complicity. But if they're against the genocide, they aren't guilty.
I'm also unsure of the rates of support for the War on Ukraine in Russia, but I doubt it's 100%. Even if it's 99%, that 1% can't be considered guilty as charged for.
I don't consider think that being a citizen of a nation instantly makes you guilty. But I also acknowledge that they can benefit from how their nation acts on the world stage.
My nation benefited from the Iraq invasion, but I was 6 years old when we did it. I didn't even know what war really was then.
I doubt Lemmy has any major effect on public option at large. Reddit never did when they supported Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders, at the height of its user count/activity.
But I don't doubt that Lemmy enables echo chambers and filter bubbles that enable people to brush aside any criticism of their favorite politician or nation-state as The Good Guys.
"I can't be pro-genocide, I have a kid I only care about when it wins me a victory on the internet aginast people with consistent morals."
