Yep, they just prefer their genocides to be covered under better optics
They prefer to be more subtle about it, I would imagine Trump: threatens to genocide all of Iran Liberals: would bomb the entire country without threatening genocide, even though they would probably be hitting civilian infrastructure "by accident"
Yeah to quote some lib coworkers I've had they'd just call it government infrastructure, and that collateral civilian damage is just an unfortunate part of liberating them because they only hate "the government not the people".
Same glee they've shown when discussing how breaking apart the USSR was the greatest human achievement despite all the fcking evidence of the suffering endured by regular people and children during the 90s and 2000s.
Sometimes, I wish the US would undergo some "liberation" á la Carpet Bombing just so that these fucks could get a real-life taste of what millions have been subjected to abroad and are now forced to live with the memory of massacred family members and friends.
9/11 is remembered every single year, but how many 9/11s they have committed every day to other nations is totally under wraps
i wish various forms of that quite often
