What is defending a politician committing a genocide, if not cult behavior?

It's people having a different opinion of events than you do. A cult is more like when your group thinks it's clearly, obviously, inarguably wrong not to see everything through your lens. That's a cult.

You mean like believing amnesty international, the UN, Doctors Without Borders, and the ICC are wrong about genocide? That kind of “different opinion?”

No I mean realizing the world isn't a meme. For example not everybody would think buying a box of screws from Home Depot is genocide because the CEO is pro-Israel.

Sending bombs to arm a genocide, in violation of both international & domestic laws, is in fact committing genocide.

Actually "in fact" and "one way to look at it" are different, and I'm done with this so go ahead and have the last word and award yourself internet moral victory points.

Is it weird seeing yourself in this situation, and finding out you would have supported the Holocaust? What’s it feel like to discover that part of yourself?
