    If you only see the choices where you don’t sacrifice anything (between something prepared and served for you), you don’t have a choice.

    “Slightly less painful genocide” will not even be slightly less painful. But people there sacrifice lives, while you won’t even sacrifice effort (and future efforts in court) to do something of a long list of actions which constitute political terrorism. You are not willing to even break law to defend people who are not being just abused, but murdered en masse in horrible ways.

    Then you pretend with that cowardly logic that these are all choices you have, so you don’t even want to take responsibility for choosing the easy and safe path of doing nothing.

      People on the internet will really be like ‘you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a Walmart’ and then not firebomb a Walmart.

        Hey, I regularly do that… it usually happens after I’ve had too much taco bell but I leave those bathrooms looking like a war zone.

        When people are getting firebombed by thousands in your name, you’d do well to at least dream day and night of firebombing anything near you.

      Big words for a small man on the internet. Do you have receipts from your actions? I’d love to see them.

      You don’t know me. You don’t know what I have or have not done. Voting and direct action are not mutually exclusive.

        Pot calling the kettle black a bit ain’t ya.

        I hope you do walk the walk to go along with your big talk, but take responsibility for your words too. Statements like yours gives people a reason to feel “good enough” about “slightly less genocide”. And if we all keep repeating the mantra “slightly less genocide”, we can feel “good enough” all the way to complete genocide.

        Then we can all wear a big frown so everyone knows how upset we are about it.

        Not your business.

        You don’t know me. You don’t know what I have or have not done. Voting and direct action are not mutually exclusive.

        All I’ve said follows from your own comment.
