Terminally unserious understanding of history and scale, the comparison in-and-of-itself trivializes the Holocaust i-do

    Seriously! What about Yemen? What about Yemen? What about fucking Yemen? Even if China really did bulldoze ten thousand people, why is this such a fixation when the US and Saudi were very deliberately attacking vital civilian infrastructure in order to kill as many civilians as possible in what fits every definition of genocide? It only ended, what, this year? Last year? WHAT ABOUT YEMEN? WHY DON'T ANY OF THESE FUCKING FREAKS KNOW OR CARE ABOUT YEMEN? God it's so frightening.

        It's fucking me up. Like the same way people refusing to take the pandemic seriously fucked me up. It's something important and so simple and i just couldn't make anyone care. God they killed all those people.

          People will rather just not think about stuff and if the man on the TV says things are fine, they are very inclined to go along with him

      Some of the most dogmatic dickheads I've encountered, the really sanctimonious ones, will say something like, Oh yeah, I condemn them both, two wrongs don't make a right, etc

        I have so much trouble accepting how they do that. They obsess about the righteousness of their cause and scream at anyone who question's their government's narrative while their government is doing what they believe the enemy is doing. And there's no hemming and hawing and abusing the definition of genocide with yemen. They were deliberately blockading food shipments and killing clean water processing to spread cholera to cause mass civilian death.

        But the libs never talk about it. There's no calling Biden or Obama madmen for their crimes. It's pure team sports. I don't understand it and I'm glad I don't understand it.

      What about Yemen? China brokered a peace between Saudi and Iran which brought a ceasefire is what...
