minus-squareessell@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·6 months agoKinda misses the point, no? The question needs an answer, even if the person asking also has their own questions to answer.

minus-squareessell@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·6 months agoOkay, yeah. If it’s in bad faith I totally agree. Still, I do have to wonder why some genocides are more important to people than others. There’s a genuine question there too
minus-squarespujb@lemmy.cafeOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·6 months agothanks for understanding haha. and yes there is probably a context where someone could ask this question in good faith but that’s not the context of this post :)
minus-squaretempest@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up10·6 months agoFor example what is it about Palestine that is driving the current set of protests that the last 5 years in Ethiopia lacked? In this case I would assume it’s the fact that many western nations are involved with Israel in some way.
minus-squareNeato@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoHypocrites shouldn’t be taken seriously. If someone professes X should be done and is choosing not to do it, they belie their own stance.
minus-squareIrateAnteater@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up8·6 months agoPeople put far too much emphasis on hypocrisy. Being a hypocrite has nothing to do with whether you are right or wrong. If a murderer says “murdering is wrong”, does him being a hypocrite make that statement any less true?
