      I’ve said some incredibly cruel, bad faith things in political discussions but I’m struggling to recall ever telling someone asking for an end to a genocide that they were a foreign spy trying to sabotage the ascension of the god-queen.

      Like this is just the face of evil. And after literal decades of throwing “Soviet genocides” in our face as evidence we’re iredeemable monsters. And they just never cared at all. Every accusation is a confession. They made up Soviet and Chinese genocides because they thought it levelled the field and would rob us of moral high ground. They never thought genocide was bad or cared about their imaginary victims.

        Wow, the comments on that are getting even worse since you commented.

        One of them linked unironically right back to the OP without a trace of critical thinking about what that top-level comment on OP was saying.

        Another one did a double genocide theory style “Which of the 4 ongoing genocides would that be then?”

        I think we can all agree there are NOT four distinct events going on that deserve the label of genocide alongside the Holocaust and Rwandan genocide. hamas-red-triangle Claiming otherwise diminishes the Holocaust. Shouldn’t we be able to call that antisemitic? hitler-detector
