⚠️Disclaimer! I am not a denier or even questioner of any genocides I'm aware of!⚠️ I swear to fuck I am genuinely asking this question because I don't know the answer, and using a search engine for something like this is only going to yield crackpot denier misinformation.

I have used the argument in the past, "If given all available evidence you're still not sure a genocide is happening, you can probably safely assume that it is, because humans just constantly do genocide."

And I wanted to be prepared in case whoever I'm debating says something like "well in 19XX, group A accused group B of genocide and it turns out group A was just lying to make group B look bad!"

Basically, would they be full of shit, or have humans been proven to have sunk that low too? :/

I have a theory that cat shit tastes like Skittles. Do you need to taste it more than twice before saying otherwise?

    yes that is what's known as a: MOB.

    mobs are inherently fascist. sad you should look up to and desire to join them.

    FOMO GUN FOMO

    Also the mods removed my comment that mentioned that white people are a minority on Earth. There are many more Asians, Indians and Africans than European whites. This is a fact. Deleting this statement is censorship.

    Lol you're confronted with the fact that literally everyone disagrees with you and rather than accept the L and grow from it, your response is "well you're all fascists anyway."

    I kinda thought you were trolling at first, but now I'm positive you're seriousーyou can't fake this level of insecurity. Don't worry champ, you'll grow out of it eventually.

    you say 'literally everyone' as if a handful of Lemmy users is some kind of control group. your cobbled handful of 'users' does not generate consent or legitimacy any more than a group of 10 year old kids in a school yard.

    stop wasting my time.

    but go ahead an worship your precious upvotes while I have sex with my neighbour.

    Hate to break it to you sport, but you're the one who keeps coming back for more. The only one wasting your time here is you.

    But please, don't let me distract you from your "neighbour"; I'm sure they're a real handful.

    As someone else who is massively annoyed by how intersectionality is misused, this is stil a very stupid take.

    What people experience is primarily local, if I'm the only person of my race in a room I'm a minority there, and if you're part of a disadvantaged group with less rights it doesn't matter to you if you're majority if somebody else has the majority of power (unless revolt and stuff). Power imbalance is real and historical impact is real and compounds on itself. This doesn't create personal liability for something you haven't participated in, but it does create a responsibility to not maintain the imbalance.
