    The Tomekians want to kill everyone in the Valley and use the Giant Warrior to take over the world.

    We Pejites only want to kill everyone in the Valley and use the Giant Warrior to destroy the Toxic Jungle.

    Therefore, a vote for Pejite is a vote against genocide.

    No, it doesn’t matter that we’re actively luring the insects into your homeland to kill everyone to drive out the Tomekians and seize the Giant Warrior because while we’re in power there’s less genocide. Which is the important part, and pretending otherwise is sophistry. If you don’t support our ploy, you are increasing the likelihood of more genocide and if you try to stop it, you are an active participant in the overall social apparatus that is probabilistically increasing the amount of genocide.

    The utility calculation is dead simple: more dead Tomekians in the Valley makes more genocide less likely, and discouraging people from supporting Pejite makes more genocide more likely. Therefore, discouraging people from supporting Pejite is a pro-genocide strategy and supporting Pejite in the Valley is an anti-genocide strategy. You should support Pejite unless you’re safely removed from the conflict and even then it’s not a bad idea.

    TLDR: if you encourage people to stop Pejite from luring insects into the Valley, that’s supporting genocide. Accelerationism never works for us.
