    In the thread mentioned db0 folks deny the Uyghur genocide

    aka denying one while espousing how bad another is.

    Destroying a people through violence: genocide

    Destroying a people through cultural erasure and sterilizations and birth rates: genocide

      No they don’t. They say bad things are happening but it doesn’t meet the definition of genocide, which the United Nations and Amnesty International agree with.

      So is the UN and AI now denying genocide?

        The UN also says what’s happening in Gaza isn’t a genocide. Sooooooo.

        This is exactly why people look down their nose at all of yall

        And yes, I ask in that thread and have the parroted “THE UN AND AI AND OTHER NGOS DONT CALL IT ONE” then get lambasted for it because I’m not talking about Gaza as if I’m incapable of caring about two things at once.

            Yes … because of the genocide denial and militant arguments against anyone who can care about more than just the one thing yall are arguing about.

            The other thing is just internet drama.

            I hope that helps explain why.
