    Mmm, and we do like to make extreme arguments just to score holier-than-thou points, don't we?

    There will always be something wrong. Taxes still fund public services. The need for those services doesn't go away just because some of the money is diverted to atrocities.

    If you actually want to end genocidal conduct, your personal taxes are not the place to fight that battle, and trying to fight it by yourself doesn't make you a hero. Collective action with a like-minded group is the most successful way to actually change things.

    As far as Lemmy goes, absolutely. We also have plenty of edgelords vilifying and alienating others on their side by calling them nazis and shit because they can't find a better outlet for their infinite rage while sitting in the shitter and the comfort of anonymity. Absolute class warriors by their own standards.
