There IS logic behind not showing up. The choice is impossible. Hitler vs worse Hitler. This is not something you logic through. If the game is rigged, then you don’t play. That’s how it is.
Also regarding Muslim ban: not the same thing as aiding the genocide. Can’t believe I even have to say it. On the other hand obviously Trump is bad so I call him worse Hitler. I don’t know how you didn’t catch that.
If you play for the side of light and goodness, the you have to be consistent. No tiny genocides are allowed. Clearly that’s not a problem for the side of darkness.
Either way middle easterns lose, so why play?
