Allow me to point to the cognitive dissonance that should be occurring among the Gaza ceasefire types -

Examine your logic of "Government X is bad, therefore it's good when bad things happen to its civilians."

I'd suggest this way of thinking is flawed in both situations.

Read up on the inherent violence of settler-colonialism; settlers cannot be equated with civilians

You'll have to explain this more clearly.

Yeah, like obviously that statement is bad, but I don't get the connection with "Gaza ceasefire types".

I phrased it poorly but I'm saying a lot of people on Lemmy are commenting "good, fuck Russia" about this situation while simultaneously holding the thought that civilian deaths are bad in Gaza. I'm saying both are bad.
