    >“Nothing justifies genocide.”

    >Proceeds to make arguments justifying genocide

    I have no idea how you could possibly think this supports your position on things.

    If Major Kira was living under a government that offered no alternative to genocide, she’d take up a phaser and start killing government officials, you know, like she literally did, in the show. She’d never condone someone who supported genocide, even if it meant resorting to violent opposition instead.

      Proceeds to make arguments justifying genocide

      “Justifying genocide is when you oppose genocide, and the more you oppose it, the more you justify it” - Very Serious Lemmings

      Alternatively, “The prospect of an eventual violent revolution justifies genocide” - Very Serious Lemmings

      Or more realistically, “I think that the prospect of virtue signaling without affecting government policy justifies genocide, because that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside” - Very Serious Lemmings

          I’m not accusing you of supporting genocide for voting against a fascist, I’m also voting against a fascist. I’m accusing you of supporting genocide for voting for a candidate that supports genocide. There’s nothing “secret” about it, it’s your openly expressed position.
