Dont you think it is horrible how people put their political ideologies / viewpoints over human lives (lemmy.world)

Something that i find prettyd disgusting these days is how certain people put their political ideologies / viewpoints over human lives, for example, celebrating the russian invasion of ukraine because it is "a blow against US / NATO imperialism" completely ignoring all the warcrimes, the deaths, and the suffering generated by that war, the same happening with the palestinian genocide because "Israel is the only working democracy on the middle east", acting like their ideoligies are going to bring back to life all the dead people somehow

My point was that the Jews wouldn’t have been the final target of the Nazis. They wouldn’t have stopped and held Arian hands in a circle dancing around a fire celebrating peace.

Like the point you made earlier about ruling over people who hate you and how hard that would be. It wouldn’t have been a struggle for the Nazis because they wouldn’t have just ruled over them. They would have executed and replaced them.

The goal in India wasn’t to eradicate the population, it was to subjugate the population. That’s brutal too, but not killing on an industrial scale bad.

I, like you, would not fight in a war. I will defend my little space with my little family with violence if I have to, but I won’t be violent on behalf of anyone else.

I wish everyone on the planet would think like you do, but they don’t, unfortunately.
