MODERATORS
Allow me to point to the cognitive dissonance that should be occurring among the Gaza ceasefire types -
Examine your logic of "Government X is bad, therefore it's good when bad things happen to its civilians."
I'd suggest this way of thinking is flawed in both situations.
If this thought was any more shallow it would evaporate.
Read up on the inherent violence of settler-colonialism; settlers cannot be equated with civilians
You'll have to explain this more clearly.
Yeah, like obviously that statement is bad, but I don't get the connection with "Gaza ceasefire types".
I phrased it poorly but I'm saying a lot of people on Lemmy are commenting "good, fuck Russia" about this situation while simultaneously holding the thought that civilian deaths are bad in Gaza. I'm saying both are bad.
Way to downplay a literal genocide, jackass.
