When was the last left-wing genocide? I mean the left-wing definitely started the game pretty strongly (after WWII) but petered out early in the match leaving the right wing to dominate for some time now.

Mao's China, Cambodia, Ethiopia's Red Terror, N Korea..........you might even want to include Tibet.
Genocide is not only about mass slaughter, but starvation etc.

Just pointing out that generalisations in memes are rarely true. ;)

For sure. But short of a few Stalinists, you won't find many left-wingers nowadays advocating genocide.

N Korea maybe.

But left wing does not equate to a claim to the moral high ground. Corbyn is a shit.

Sure, but the stench coming off of Corbyn does not compare to the fetidness of the current Conservative Party.

Putting things in perspective (relatively speaking) the Left currently occupies the moral high ground.

Unfortunately, Corbyn has ensured there is no viable alternative to them. How anyone could manage to poll worse than the Conservatives at a time of inane bungling of everything from Brexit to the NHS beats me, but I'm not sure it is about Left and Right anymore, just trust............and none deserves it.

Just exercising 'least harm'. It is far from evil to hope a sponsor of both domestic and international murder dies before he can do more harm. After all, it saves him from the vipaka of that harm as well. I would guess the particular hell he is destined to reach will accept him on the baisis of his karma so far though.

Great find, Grigoris.

Liberals (like me) are I think often willing to compromise, it's part of our liberal outlook: to work *with* others, not against them.

But what do we do when these "others" are embracing something horribly destructive, inhumane, evil? One could argue that Trump and his followers are not (exactly) doing that right now ... but I think they are sliding gradually towards what could become destructive and inhumane and evil. They're heating up the kettle water gradually, so that we don't notice it when we start to get cooked alive.

What to do? Just let things be ... and watch the show unfold, as one thread of Buddhism might advise?

Taking away children from their parents is destructive, inhumane and evil. Full stop. The water is boiling already. Incidentally, frogs are smart enough to jump out of water that is getting too hot.

That certainly is how it is being portrayed in the news sources I pay attention to. Otoh:

Sessions: Child separation critics are ‘lunatic fringe’ living in ‘gated communities.’

Simmering at least.

There goes that metaphor!

So kinda along the lines of the inquisition. Burning them to save their souls. Interesting... :rolleye:

In his case, many thousands may die as long as he is alive to support their murder, and many will continue to suffer at his hands. His actions to date have been so harmful that I doubt he is destined for rebirth in paradise with a bevvy of virgin pussies unless he changes religion.
