    Yes, you should start a civil war to prevent your country doing genocide. Because the alternative is genocide. What exactly is complicated about this?

      You’re not listening to what I’m saying.

      Also, why are you on the internet and not out overthrowing a genocidal government right now? Shame on you!

        I am listening to what you’re saying, you’re making excuses for Americans who don’t care enough to stop a genocide happening on their dime.

        What do you think the most effective way is for an American to try to prevent this genocide? Your whataboutism isn’t wholly wrong, but I don’t know what I’m supposed to do beyond writing to my senators demanding that they kill the funding. So, what is your answer?

          What makes you think I’m talking about Americans in particular? And when did you go from “people are obligated to stage a coup” to “people should write their senators?” I fail to see the so-called whataboutism you’re accusing me of, and you sure seem to have a hard time deciding what you’re even talking about.

            Israelis are obliged to stage a coup. Maybe Americans are too, along with all of the countries funding Israeli genocide.

            Its whataboutism to say I’m only aloud to be against genocide if I’ve already staged a coup. Its a completely bullshit deflection.

            I shouldn’t have taken you in good faith, my apologies. I’ll treat you like an insincere troll if you prefer.
