That means that you are personally liable for the 1 Million dead civilians from our unconstitutional war in the middle east.

Using this logic you are fair game for a terrorist attack, and would deserve it.

50% of the population was not born yet during the most recent election where Hamas gained power (16 years ago)

Stop parroting this bullshit and think for yourself

I AM responsible. This is how democracy works. You are responsible for your own governance. Why don't you think for yourself? You can't vote for your government to kill others, and take zero responsibility.

And the people who didn't vote for the government? People who voted for the opposition but didn't win, are they innocent?

Yes, they are innocent. They did not consent to what their elected government is doing, assuming the actions being taken are from representatives they did not vote for.

Hamas got 44% of the vote

Fatah literally fought Hamas for the Gaza strip. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gaza_(2007) they lost. But they really really tried

So I think this paints a picture of a population divided. So all the people under 18 are innocent, we agree on that. And 66% of the adults are also innocent.

That's a lot of innocent people dying right now in the Gaza strip.

I don't disagree. Airstrikes and intelligence on where to put them can only be so reliable.

So edgy. Hand yourself over to Al-Qaeda or ISIS since you are responsible. I will buy your plane ticket for you.

Nope, just because I'm part of a wide, very diluted group collectively responsible doesn't mean I think I am wrong. I am happy for voting representatives into power who used military force against Al-Qaida and ISIS. Fuck them.

No you are going to the Middle East, send me a DM so we can get the plane ticket purchased

Put your money where your mouth is coward

But America isn't a democracy, it's a republic.

And even then, people don't vote on military decisions.

I somewhat agree on principle but practically speaking we live in very large systems with huge momentum these days, even in America where lots of people are armed and can avoid going to a war they don't want to, they're not necessarily going to bust moves against the system itself. If you ask me, the most effective action would simply be to buy your way out and enable mass freedom from such industrial war machines
