    Why should we accept genocide as normal? I don’t get it? Is it because it is happening to Arabs?

    At least now we know many Democratic voters are just as racist as Republican voters just tacit about it

      I’m think you’re missing the point.

      You face three choices:

      1. Most death and harm, 50% chance of happening
      2. Less death and harm, 50% chance of happening
      3. Principled choice for no death and harm, but that practically makes choice 1 more likely to happen because it has 0 chance of happening.

      Choosing choice 3 is equivalent to choosing choice 1 because you’re contributing to choice 1 happening practically.

      Choosing choice 3 is directly creating more death and harm than choosing choice 2 and in that way is morally worse.
