"Noooo, us? No, we would NEVER do a genocide! Here, look at these testimonies from OUR experts! Ignore the UN, Amnesty, WHO, B'Tselem, Doctors Without Borders, and especially the PRCS" (i.imgflip.com)

It wouldn't hurt you to be nice.

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.

It. Does. Not. Excuse. Genocide

The sad part is that we agree but I don't think you're able to see it.

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.

I understand your frustration.

I don't think we're in a strong disagreement on the subject. It's a detail. But it is a disagreement on how to approach things.
