We play the hand we're dealt. Accelerated genocide + fascism is a worse outcome than performative resistance to genocide.

You were not dealt this hand, you chose it by not telling them 'no'. it is the most powerful word you have in your arsenal learn to use it. there is a reason utilitarianism is panned basically universally in ethics classes. Had you been willing to exercise it against the DNC you might not be in the very situation you find yourself in now.

How did that work out for all the people who said no? Now Trump will help Bibi annex the West Bank. I've taken Ethics, utilitarianism was absolutely not panned.

"Every ethics course pans utilitarianism"

"I took ethics and they gave very serious consideration to utilitarianism"

"Am I out of touch? No, it's the ethics professors who are wrong"

Do you hear yourself?
