“The guy running over living people while he bulldozes their homes is also a victim” is, to put it kindly, a terrible take.
The worst thing that would have happened to that guy had he refused to grind up living people under a bulldozer is he would have went to prison. I have zero sympathy for anyone who chooses genocide over going to prison. Even accounting for conscription, propaganda, economic reasons to be in the military, etc., there are a million offramps he could have taken before that point.
People who do monstrous things will almost always try to excuse it or say their hand was forced. It’s OK to call bullshit on that.
