    This is an absurd take. Under this “logic” there is literally no way to be anti-genocide. If you are elected, you cannot be anti-genocide because of some convoluted imputed condoning of state violence, so that leaves it to violent revolutionary change to fix the state, which is intrinsically a testament to “state violence” of it succeeds. Your urge to be cynical and lazy has lead you into a nihilist paradox and serves no value to anyone, including yourself.

      this is the problem with liberal propaganda. it brainwashes people into thinking electoralism is where change happens. literally every single anti-genocide movement happened because people took direct action against the state. events like the Haitian revolution, the black power movement, queer liberation. politicians co-opt the discourse on the ground and then whitewash history into making people believe they’re the ones who gave people their rights out of the kindness of their hearts or something
