Do these people not realize that the government can just invalidate their marriage and punish them?
Breaking up marriages is recognized worldwide as an act of genocide, but putting restrictions on who can marry isn’t as universally recognized.
The world hasn't cared about genocides since 1945.
The world has never cared about a genocide that happened within a nation's borders.
Had Hitler not invaded other countries, there wouldn't have been any consequences more severe than a public condemnation.
Hell, there would have provably been foreign support for genociding Romani people.
Rwanda and further Yugoslavia are both exceptions to your statement
The world at large shrugged its shoulders at Rwanda. France literally handed over people under their protection to the Interahamwe, knowing full well they'd be killed on the spot. Belgium actually had soldiers get killed by Rwandan military, and did nothing. The world went to very incredibly great lengths to make sure that they didn't have to get involved until after the genocide was nearly complete.
Well yes, most caring about genocide is afterwards. Surprisingly few people that fought for the Liberation of Europe did so because of their care for the date of the Jewish population of Europe and Russia.
The Armenian genocide went unopposed and even a UN peace mission failed to stop the massacre at Srebrenica.
In order for something to be unanimously labeled genocide it has to be over the top (extremely so, look at Gaza today) and very ugly and blatant.
If there's one take away from history is that tribalism is so strong in humans that they will kill each other over fucking trivial stuff.
Yugoslavia is an exception, but Rwanda only happened because the world didn't care.
Plenty of people cared about it. Afterwards, which is usually the case. WW2 was not very different as most caring was fine after the fact.
Even the UN peace mission did little too stop the Srebrenica massacre.
Odd statement. The world has cared a lot more about genocide after 1945.
Yet, has there been a full effort to stop the genocide?
Not at all what I said.
saying they care and showing they care are very different things
They did it to my mom. She and her partner drove to San Francisco on that weekend when they were doing gay marriages in the mid 2000s. That ,marriage was canceled once they straightened iut the laws.
They're legally wed right here in Arizona now, but I wouldn't put it past these fucks to try to annul their marriage again.
I'm sure Trump really cares about international law
He doesn't care about domestic law. I doubt he would care about laws he personally enacted if they stood in opposition to his in-the-moment wants.
I'd personally be afraid I'd be putting myself on a termination list tbh, but others are probably braver than me.
