Floch is a psychopathic fascist xenophobe. He has no remorse for civilian casualties. He killed civilians on purpose in Liberio in an unapologetic act of terrorism. He didn't even care about the eldians in the internment zone.

If you're one of the many loud people who stick your fingers in your ears and pretend the only two options are 'genocide' and 'do absolutely nothing to defend yourself' then I suppose you would support his methods. However that's a false dichotomy. There are always other options both in the real world and in the world of attack on titan. You give me too much credit for the 'cringevengers' term, it's actually being used quite a bit on other social media sites. Not everyone, of course, mainly by people who either hate the fact that the SC are joining forces with their hated enemies or are just disappointed by its execution. I'm just using their terminology.

As for Floch, those 'civilians' were Marleyans. They pretty much believe every piece of propaganda about the "island devils" and would no doubt continue the same hateful persecution of Eldians. So even if they were 'civilians', they still deserved what they got. And the Eldians in the internment zone are pretty much a lost cause since they too are for wiping out the Walldians believing they will achieve some kind of honorary status by doing so (looking at you, Karina Braun).

And why is it people think that those of us who support the Rumbling would be okay with real world genocide? They're not the same thing. And in terms of the SnK world, peace talks were never going to work. That was Hange and Armin living in a dream world where everyone is happy and singing songs together and no one hates anyone, which is of course not how it is. And since everyone else WAS going for "do nothing to defend yourself" then the last remaining option for Eren is "genocide", though considering what the world has put him and his people through, it's not as if they don't deserve it.
