      And you actually believe that not participating pushes towards that goal? Or can we live in reality and admit that it just makes you feel better while having the opposite effect?

        Not participating in a system which murders the innocent is, indeed, the moral choice.

          Prevent fewer deaths or witness more deaths. Not participating is a choice but still a choice at the end of the day with blood still on your hands. So get the fuck off your high horse.

            Yes, I agree, not participating in killing innocent people is a choice. It’s also the only choice.

            The interactions I’ve had with people labelling themselves as ‘progressive’ have tended towards being negative. What do you want to progress towards? A world built on sacrificing innocent people, I imagine?

              I want fewer people to die, but people like you believe that your feelings matter more than their lives. Of course your interactions with people like me have been negative: you’re fighting for death through inaction.
