Projected climate collapse deaths by 2050: 14.5 million, about 250k per year.
Gaza deaths to date: in the range of 80k-100k, hard ceiling of ~2 million.
What could be more sacrosanct than the one and only habitable planet we’ll ever get? Certainly not a piece of paper?
I live in a first world country with solid resource access, I can tell you for sure I won’t affected as much as the people being cooked to death in India. Why should I care about them?
It’s revealing that you weigh one favorite group of starving victims against the millions of others. Just because one is direct human cruelty and the other is direct and malicious social murder?
Don’t tell me you care about both equally, because that’s clearly not the vote you want to cast.
Yup. We had a chance to maybe turn the bus but no, we’re going right off the cliff, gunning the engine no less, thanks to people who would rather cling to a single issue instead of mitigate harm across the wider spectrum.
B: genocide in Gaza + maybe Ukraine + maybe losing democracy + rolling back environmental protections + enabling the best friend of a known pedophile child trafficker… Etc
C. B, but with a side of smug self satisfying moral high ground
Nah man, plenty of other people all over the world are harmed way more by the Trump administration. Take your head out of the sand if you’re going to pretend to actually give a shit about anything
Holy fuck open your goddamn eyes. Way worse is continuing that policy PLUS literally every grift, corruption, destruction, repression, depression and violence of the 2nd Trump term. What the fuck are you even arguing here?

Voting options were not:
A. Genocide
B. No genocide
They were: A. Genocide in Gaza
B: genocide in Gaza + maybe Ukraine + maybe losing democracy + rolling back environmental protections + enabling the best friend of a known pedophile child trafficker… Etc
C. B, but with a side of smug self satisfying moral high ground
You are not more moral for choosing C.

Oh really? Which candidate on the ballot in 2024 who had that platform? None? Well I guess I’ll opt for the one that’s at least 1 for 2.
The conversation was always about harm reduction, but keep imagining that one policy is the only thing that matters.

Ok so they did that. Now what are my new options in the voting booth? Does that actually change my voting strategy in any way?
