    The rest of us do know how to do the right thing. You’re not doing anything, your lily-white inaction is moral masturbation. Doing the right thing requires considering the suffering of others over your own passive comfort. Often that means making tough decisions. How much will suffering increase because puritanical children refused to sully their hands on anyone who wasn’t perfect? Childish and simplistic.

      Doing the right thing requires considering the suffering of others

      That’s what I’m doing.

      And you’re trying to spin that as something selfish, as if I don’t have to live with the consequences of US politics as a gay man.

              This is black and white. Genocide bad. There are no shades of grey to that, despite what Democrats (and AIPAC) would like you to believe.

              Genocide bad.

                Uh huh, which is why you’re happy letting the enthusiastic-support-for-accelerating-and-expanding-genocide party beat the diplomatic-damage-control-while-we-try-to-stop-genocide party. Since the lesser evil is still bad, may as well let the monstrous evil take control.

                Are you listening to yourself? Childish.
