minus-squarePugJesus@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·7 months ago It wouldn’t hurt you to be nice. That’s not an unfair position to take, but it’s not me. I can de-escalate, but not in the face of positions I find outrageous.
minus-square???@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·7 months ago It. Does. Not. Excuse. Genocide The sad part is that we agree but I don’t think you’re able to see it.
minus-squarePugJesus@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·7 months ago Granted, maybe your point is that we shouldn’t consider all these details when determining whether or not a massacre is part of a genocide campaign, No, no, you outlined my position and our conflict just fine here. ‘These details’ are irrelevant. That’s my point. but it’s generally a bad idea to ignore context. There is no context that can justify it. It’s like saying one has to look at the context of a rape before judging it. You really fucking don’t.
minus-square???@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·7 months agoI understand your frustration.
