    1. Being “ok” with anything is completely subjective and a personal choice. There is no law that says I have to have an opinion on every subject.

    2. I’m against innocent people being hurt or killed in general.

    My experience on this platform tells me if a person or persons set out to kill every Trump supporter, or murder every billionaire, you people would be celebrating. Hypothetical I admit, but it’s my opinion most of you would be ok with genocide as long as it targets people you don’t like/support.

      Dude, there’s like less than 2000 billionaires in the entire world. They aren’t a race of people, or ethnic groups.

      Besides, billionaires are the people sticking their boot on everybody’s neck, and creating this dupshit class war. At some point people take a stand against oppression. Violence from the oppressed toward their oppressors is not in any way the same thing.

      Nobody says, well, golly, I sure wish those slaves would have found peaceful ways to revolt against their slave owners.

        They are a group of people who have something in common. If you’re trying to kill them for that thing(s), that’s genocide. You can sugar coat it in anyway that makes you comfortable, I guess.

          From the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum:

          The legal term “genocide” refers to certain acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.

          Yeah billionaires are not included, sorry.
