Thought provoking. Yes!

Nice take on the topic, and I appreciate the simplicity of the argument. Yet one of the most difficult things I've encountered in doing progressive activism is infighting among internal groups who are on the same side, getting caught up in about how best to accomplish things, whose voice to elevate, what justice looks like, etc. (I would defer to marginalized voices on answering those questions, but I find a lot of allies get caught up in the weeds...and egos, oh my!) This would be a simple thing to keep in mind.

I like the underlying simplicity of a complex idea. Well written - thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Very nice summary of a very complex issue.

A good presentation of something that is so obvious it shocks the mind to realize so many don't or won't hold to it. Genocide is so mindboggling a thing.
