Genocide is genocide.

Harm reduction arguments only work to a point. If genocide is still the outcome, then it isn't really harm reduction.

We are now in a scenario where we'll settle for a genocidal monster, because we keep voting for harm reduction. Harm reduction failed in practice; it was never a good idea in the first place.
