I always find it fascinating that people get mad at those that couldn't stomach genocide, rather than getting mad at the people with the power, the money and the platform who chose genocide and money over fighting fascism.

Do you get mad at a mountain lion for killing an elk? Or ivy for strangling a tree? It's just what they do. Same with the corrupt elite and bourgeoisie. They're corrupt and feed their own selfish desires because they are fundamentally broken, antisocial people. When one claims to be an ally but refuses to act like one in the most important and meaningful ways, it feels like betrayal and that hits differently than known malignancies acting malicious.
