    So how many innocent blockade runners have died vs innocent civilians been genocided?

    I guess “Intentionally targeting civilians and committing war crimes is bad” sounds like radical shitlib stuff to you, as long as the people you claim to oppose (but are targeting and killing people entirely unrelated to them) are committing more war crimes.

      Real leftists understand that ending a genocide will require more than asking nicely and sending more weapons. Must sound completely unhinged to the libs.

        What chain of events do “real leftists” see coming out of terrorists attacking civilian freighters?

        Reality based observers will note that the international community is far more likely to retaliate against Yemen or put more anti missile ships in the area, leading to a significant risk of escalation…m

        Oh, okay, so if the Houthis kill MORE Filipino civilians, that’ll stop the genocide?

        Insane. Tankies really will support anything that’s vaguely damaging to the West. Absolute brainrot.

          Keep sending weapons and protectors for the genociders. That’s a very effective strategy.

            Would love that. I support the removal of all aid from Israel. I’m at the point where I don’t even think that the US should interfere in case of war with Israel. The moral issue of the genocide aside, there’s the longer term strategic issue that they’ve made their bed with these insane provocations of their neighbors; backing them now is encouraging that behavior, and gods only know where it will go. Somewhere worse, is the only real guarantee.

            Fuck man, what’s going on in the world isn’t the only thing you can support. You CAN support ALTERNATIVE courses of actions.

                This reminds me of that classic moment in A Fish Called Wanda:

                “I’ve known sheep that could outwit you! I’ve worn dresses with a higher IQs but you think you’re an intellectual, don’t you you ape!?!”

                “Apes don’t read philosophy.” (Said with a smirk.)

                “Yes they do, they just don’t understand it!”
