I dunno, any of more than a dozen happening right now on this planet with no notable protests or anything in democratic countries and with their governments just doing business as usual with governments perpetrating those.

Where I live it's been 20+ years since a protest changed anything, and now those kinda may get you jailed for an arbitrary amount of years or sent southwest as cannon fodder.

Where you live it's likely different. So.

Why did you say “everyone has a target they are fine with genocide about” then justify it with a lack of protests, and protests not going anything?

You clearly stated something as fact, then went beyond moving the goalpost, playing a completely different game with your justification.

I can’t think of anyone in my communication circle that would ever shrug off genocide. Virtually everyone not taking part in genocide agrees it’s wrong, and anyone trying to justify it or saying “everyone is fine with it to some degree” is extremely suspect.

"Everyone" in natural languages is very close to "the majority".

then justify it with a lack of protests, and protests not going anything?

This was incomprehensible for me and requires clarification.

You clearly stated something as fact, then went beyond moving the goalpost, playing a completely different game with your justification.

No, I don't think so. Also don't do that "strict" tone, your logic is not strict and you don't have the authority.

I can’t think of anyone in my communication circle that would ever shrug off genocide.

That's usually done by ignoring those you don't care about. How many genocides you and your circle are not shrugging off? You do realize that a 2-digit number of non-sanctioned UN member countries are doing it right now and you are not protesting?

Virtually everyone not taking part in genocide agrees it’s wrong, and anyone trying to justify it or saying “everyone is fine with it to some degree” is extremely suspect.

Everyone taking part in one agrees it's wrong as well, and says they are not.
