No. No, I just got something in my eye. I’m fine.

    Let me check my evil meter to find out if homophobia is worse than literal genocide against brown Untermenschen to create an ethnostate

      They’re both evil - evil people can do good things, but doing those good things doesn’t negate the evil things. Take the US: it’s done undeniably evil things, but at the same time it’s (by several measures) the #1 contributor of humanitarian aid to the world. So does this mean we be praising the US since by that metric it’s undeniably the global paragon of humanitarian charity? Or should we maybe be glad that the US is doing something not awful, while not accepting it as justification to dismiss the evil it also does?

        Supporting and applauding Yemen’s blocade against Israel doesn’t mean one also supports every single one of their other actions, priorities need to be decided in times like these, same way it’s stupid to condemn Hamas when it’s literally resisting genocide.
