I get that people get hot about this one, and its not necessarily a bad thing to make a people's court post about stuff like this. We always gotta be open to criticism.
I didn't want it to seem like I'm asking for people to go and jump on the discussion.
It's interesting though that people are all like "context?" in response to this, but if someone had written "I hope China gets wiped off the map", they'd be instantly banned for "imperialism" (rightfully so) and nobody would pause for two seconds to ask for context. Same thing with any of the other n things where the mere implication of a thought rather than anything written is worthy of a permanent ban.
But when someone says, in no uncertain terms, they wish Turkey and its militias ethnically cleanse the Kurds from northern Syria the response is "hm.. what is the context of that statement?" LMAO
Just to be clear, genocide and similar crimes are never acceptable in any context.
The context that I was asking for is the context in which the words in the thread title/description were stated. This was not to make assumptions about the context in which advocating for genocide is okay. It was to avoid making incorrect assumptions and accepting your interpretation without evidence. It was not too see whether the context might suggest that genocide was acceptable. It was to determine whether anyone had advocated for the genocide of Kurds.
That's fair. But let's entertain a hypothetical...
If someone had posted "China should be wiped off the map" or "Russia should be wiped off the map". Do you think we'd be having this discussion regarding motives and context?
