    That fucker is making it a challenge I’ll give him that. Just shut up about it, that’s all he has to do. Shutting up about genocide is how we’ve ignore genocides across the world for the last 50 years. It works. Most people don’t even know Jimmy Carter helped carry out a genocide. Jimmy fucking Carter. Just don’t talk about and Americans will immediately forget. So Biden please shut the fuck up. Join the fraternity of every president of the last well all of our history in committing genocide that isn’t well-publicized.

      Jimmy Carter was able to quietly support genocide because there were only 3 TV news stations at the time. None of them would mention Cambodia, you had to read the 14th page of the NYT to actually be informed.

      This level of broad-based ignorance is no longer possible in the internet era.

      And beside that, “just shut up and keep genociding” is a shocking and evil stance to take. Ignoring morality and hiding behind realpolitik is how we get figures like Kissinger, Netanyahu, and Hitler.
