    You didn’t protest evil, you stepped aside and said, “I’m ok if the world gets more evil”. Your “protest” did nothing to stop or reduce the genocide, it’s gotten worse. You’ve made it less safe for people who actually want to protest the genocide. Your only action was that you feel moral superiority in your own mind.

      Yep. Now protesters are being deported. I believe that everyone who sat this out over that issue has blood on their hands and I don’t care if it hurts their feelings to hear it.

      We went from having a chance to having no chance.

      Their inaction isn’t entirely the reason, but a lot more people are going to be suffering than otherwise would have, all around the world.

      The cuts to medical aid around the world, children going hungry, etc. Who knows, we might even get another pandemic. Wouldn’t that be rad?!

      And you’re goddamn right. They ate propaganda and now get to feel good about doing nothing in their own minds.
