"Evil wins when good men do nothing" or is that notbhow the saying goes?

I am not arguing semantics, it's just my view that the lack of sanctions by the west for China for commiting genocide is about as good as sanctioning it.

I don't think that's a far fetched view, I think you are the one arguing semantics, or the exact meaning of words rather than realizing the lack of action against evil is about as good as an endorsement of it.

It's a sad commentary on the state of education nowadays that I also initially assumed that you were dumb enough to not know the difference between "sanctioned genocide" and "applying sanctions"

I've had enough "well regulated militia" arguments that it's scarred me
