genocide that has countless pieces of evidence and has resulted in brutal apartheid

libs: its a nuanced topic! these are counter terrorism measures! its the only democracy in the Middle East!

alleged “genocide” with zero concrete evidence and the vast majority of the ethnic groups facing this supposed genocide have equal rights with the majority ethnicity

libs: ebil see see pee is equivalent to nazi germany! we need 1 billion americans to counter the Han menace!

The beautiful thing for libs with both of these rationales is that they require nothing and reinforce their worldview. If theirs no Palestinian genocide or aparthied in their eyes, nothing needs to change and thier right. If China is genociding Uighurs, they don't want to do anything about it, but it let's them feel like China Bad even as it surpasses the US.

Butts are for pounding one in the butt. Embrace Tingleism.

It's just true shrug-outta-hecks

And this isn't some subjective thing. Senior members of the current Israeli cabinet have openly called for the annexation of Gaza and the West Bank and the complete expulsion of Palestinians from those regions. They've even called for laws against the generally peaceful population inside Israel.

It's all in good fun, but you do have to remember that they are just as entitled to say "If you deny that Soviet Russia commit a genocide against Ukraine, you are, by definition, a genocide denier."

They'll be completely wrong on the basis of facts and historical material reality of course, and similarly obviously we'll be right, but they can in fact say that. And they do, very frequently and annoyingly.

They're not entitled to, but they do it anyway.

I mean, yeah. Just like I, and most others, also deny the City of Boston is committing genocide against red-haired people.

They're using genocide denial as a term to equivocate anything else to Holocaust denial.

Ironic. That's like their favorite term

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

It's really all they've got. Its the reason they invented double genocide theory. That's the only way to really discredit us.

When you have an ideology that has achieved in the real world the liberation of the working class, ended homelessness, put the first man in space, etc. How else do you discredit that? It has to be the worst accustation possible. They did it to the USSR and now the PRC
