    7,877 homeless people died in the US during 2020 source

    Meanwhile over 34,904 Palestinians have been killed since Oct 7, over 1.1 million Palestinians are facing IPC Phase 5 catastrophic food insecurity, and over 1.7 million people have been displaced source

    How many millions of people have died and how many tens of millions of people have been killed by imperalism and war just over the course of the last two decades alone? Do you have no problem with it because those people are far away or do you have no problem because its the global south?

      Was the Libertarian Party in charge in 2020? No.

      Are homeless people the only sort of poor people who need assistance? No.

      So what the hell does this have to do with the Libertarian genocide of the poor that would happen if they were in power?

        Im saying does homeless genocide suck, absolutely. But even you have to acknowledge that the wars and genocides brought on by imperalism are significantly worse. The only difference is one is further away and in places you dont think about. At the end of the day I would rather we have neither but that won’t be achieved until capitalism is destroyed.

          Yes, again, I get that you think one genocide is more important than another.

          To me, genocide is genocide.

          And, again, we’re talking about a hypothetical scenario.
