Whoever you think you'd be petitioning in this scenario, it doesn't matter. You have exactly two choices put before you right now, choose one. Or have the choice made for you.
I'm sorry you feel so disenfranchised that those are your only two options. Enjoy your shit sandwich, I guess!
So you agree the shit sandwich is the better choice.
Genocide is never an acceptable choice, no.
You keep going on about entirely unrelated things that have nothing to do with the scenario, weird. Maybe I'm not making the scenario clear enough, if so, I apologise. Let me try to do better:
Imagine you're sitting on a chair in a small room, there's nobody there except a machine with two arms carrying a shit sandwich in one hand, a shit sandwich drenched in vomit in the other. The machine is going to feed you one of them, whether you like it or not. There is no way to protest this event, it is going to happen, regardless of what you want or think or say. You can complain to management later, if you like, but right now you are going to be fed one sandwich. Your choice is only in which one.
