    I can prove that you are supporting genocide. You pay your taxes, right? Then you’re supporting genocide.

    Unless you’re too young to pay taxes? In that case I could give you a pass - it’s not like you know any better anyway.

    But this is something we all have to reconcile - we’re all complicit. You don’t get to wash your hands of this.

        You’re literally paying for it! Do you not feel anything for the direct consequences of your actions?

        The fact that you refuse to accept responsibility for your own actions doesn’t change the fact that you are complicit. You have to grow up and learn to take responsibility for what is being done in your name with your tax dollars, or they’re just going to keep killing in your name using your tax dollars. It’s really that simple.

        You want me to stop because I’m giving voice to your own guilt, because you know I’m right.

          I feel you may be somewhat mentally unstable, so discussing anything with you may be dangerous.

          I have taken no action. I have no say in how my taxes are spent, thus I feel no guilt.

          You are using “direct” incorrectly. I have taken no direct action. The person or persons who used my money in such a manner is the one taking direct action.

          I assure you, I feel no guilt. I don’t care.
