I really get your point, but in all seriousness, if we suppose there is one big bad religion, would it be even possible for any other one to "save" anyone from it? My point is, once you get to that point, you are screwed anyway. A passive response means nothing and the active one most likely paints then with the same brush, as you pointed.
That is a pretty good question. Leavig aside partisanship, maybe people think they are siding with lesser evil, while they are simply siding with the evil they know.
well perhaps one can look at the immigration numbers, I don't see a clamour to go to those places. They're coming to Europe and America. Are they running towards evil or from it?
The moral vacillations of this era are truly vomit inducing
I fully agree with you, but @brokenshoelace post just above (which I assume you are responding to in part) mentions Gaza in connection to genocide, not Native Americans. Your argument still applies though, that is, that the same people who do terrible things in one situation can do something good (even if this not their primary intention) in another.lol! Two things can be true. The Iranian regime is evil, it's oppressed its own people, particularly women, for a generation and has sponsored terrorism around the world. Not least in Israel. If Israel alone had gone in hard against the regime I wouldn't have assigned much morality to it, in my view it would not be unreasonable for Israel to once and for all get rid of a theocracy that seems to have one of it's founding principles be the complete destruction of Israel. When the Americans are getting led by the nose by Netanyahu then the thing becomes messy. Particularly as we all suspect the orange one is trying to distract from questions about teenage girls. This is not about good vs evil, but is the world potentially a better place if the theocracy is vanquished once and for all? Absolutely. Does that make those doing it good? Hell no! We're not that naive.
But to talk about the genocide of Native Americans and what not when discussing current events? LMAO! Go back in any nations history and you'll find genocide, that's the nature of humanity sadly. Does that mean that nations should hold themselves in a state of moral paralysis because they might have done something evil in the past? Then no one should ever do anything good! What utterly feckless garbage. Do good in the now, because it's good, not for redemption of past evils. Such weakness
I don't believe any rational person supports what happened in Gaza, but let's be honest Hamas embedded themselves within the community in Gaza. The Israelis were going to go after them no matter what the global community said. I think pretty much any country that had suffered the sort of terrorist attack they had would have done the same. But Israel has a rational if rather disagreeable reason for being so aggressive. If they get hit, they have made it clear to all that they will hit a hundred times harder. And let's not forget that they had their people stuck in there as hostages. All of this funded by Iran by the way. I think Netanyahu is loathsome and he persisted with the war because he had bribery allegations to run away from. We all know this. Let's give the same energy to both wrongs that were committed. I suppose one of the possible outcomes we should all hope for when this conflict is over, is that Iran will no longer fund the likes of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houtis. We can hope
