No there aren’t “good people on both sides” when one side is commiting genocide. Good people do not commit genocide. Good people do not defend people who are commiting genocide. Good people are not complicit in genocide.

You can do all of these things today with impunity because we live in a corrupt world that’s circling the drain of fascism. You can do all these things and feel safe, protected by a system built on settler colonialism – the beneficiary of past ethnic cleansings, apartheids, and genocides and run by its heirs.

You can do all this but what you cannot do is call yourself a good person. Because you’re not.

Opposing genocide isn’t a preference. It’s the lowest possible bar for humanity.
