minus-squareEnsign_Crab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months ago That’s not what’s going on, and you know it. “Everybody’s doing it” is an excuse.
minus-squaretsonfeir@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months agoI’m not saying that. You’re angry I want to be mad at ALL the 193 UN countries ignoring genocide and not just my own. All we would need is 97 of them for a majority vote to pass a resolution. Why does the US even matter at that point?
minus-squareEnsign_Crab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoThe US is my country, and it being a democracy and me being a citizen, the only one for which I bear any responsibility. Though it’s probably easier to get 97 nations to oppose genocide than to convince Joe Biden to.
minus-squaretsonfeir@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoYeah yeah Biden Biden. Whatever. Want to do real good instead of zero good? Convince people in other countries, who could swing, to fight, and help them…. With your dollars. That might actually buy more than some tour busses and staff lunches.
