I'm still trying to wrap my head around what complexities might make genocide the right thing to do.

I’m not a single issue voter no matter how morally complex the situation is.

Is the world in a better state now?

How about the country?

How about your life?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

But still a comparison, so

I guess, no, I'm not hallucinating
