It is not a jump. When it comes to genocide, you are either for it or against. There is no center, no above, no neutral. The only other option is being unaware. What is being done in the west is people continuously being made aware and forced to make a choice. It's not a pleasant choice to make either way, so it's understandable that people are not happy to have to make it. But trying to carve out a neutral position where there is none, is not going to work.

What are you going to do about it, tiger?
You can't force anybody to think the way you want them to think. You are only going to frustrate yourself with your power trip fantasy.

Expecting people to adhere to humane values is not a power trip fantasy.

It is true, we can't force people to think the way we want, nor should we want to. What we can do, hopefully, is make them live with the consequences of admitting the way they think, whatever that entails.
There are countries where it is not against the law to be a nazi, but you still get to live as a nazi.

Just let Putin genocide supporters to admit that they support Putin's genocide instead of supporting Ukraine's right to defense is good enough ;)
