Nuance is about subtlety. Nothing here is subtle.

There are clear differences between destroying the planet by eating meat and driving a car and supporting the guy with Mein Kampf on his nightstand who publically Idealizes Dictators.

I'm shocked! Are you telling me there are people in real life with whom you can have nuanced conversation?!

Fundementally it's perfectly valid to take a position that a system is so irredeemable that you cannot participate, but instead believe it must be torn down instead of adding legitimatecy to it. Sometimes that protest achieves something and sometimes it doesn't. It is a kantian ethics stance that you'd have to work a lot harder to invalidate than the cursory anger that folks spew out on Lemmy.

If a vote acknowledges the legitimacy in someone's view of a genocidal government, I think it's fine for them to protest against it. I'm not personally of that stance, but I don't doubt many have sincerely held beliefs.
