Millions are already dying, with billions more slated to follow them. Imperial war, mass poverty, covid eugenics, nuclear brinksmanship, economically engineered famines like we did to Afghanistan, climate collapse and (I cannot stress this enough) the current ongoing genocide have already far outstripped your "millions will die" hysterical excuse for inaction. We live in a country where snake-handling evangelical psychos and childwife-collecting Mormon cultists control most of the nuclear arsenal at the highest reaches of military command. Out government literally doesn't know how to exist without cannibalizing other countries through war, and foments it at every turn. People are starving to death in tents on the streets and being dissapeared into police blacksites. You can either recognize that fascism is already here and try to stop it, or wring your hands and make excuses for why we have support the right fascists, like a German liberal in the 1930s would.

Your mindset is servile and blinkered and I will not be supporting your genocide.

Alright then, move to China or Russia like the rest of your communist cosplay friends and let the rest of us try and fix the country without causing another genocide or civil war.

Lol, look how quickly the liberal turns into a stereotypical right wing chode when people don't accept their weak-ass excuses for supporting genocide. "Don't like it? Leave!"

It's an admission of defeat dressed up like a quip. It's you saying "Uh...well I don't have any response to the things you're saying, so go away!"

No, I think I'll stay here and continue to remind you that your hands will never be washed clean. You will never exist as a non-fascist again, and your desperate attempts to pull other people down to your level for solace have failed. Nobody wants to be like you.
