Because everyone knows if you say it’s not genocide, it’s not genocide. 🇨🇳🇮🇱🇷🇺🇺🇸

If it doesn't come from the Armenian region of Türkiye it's not a genocide, it's sparkling ethnic cleansing.
-
Damn it, you came up with a better 'sparkling' joke than I was thinking of.
I bow to the master.

I've been relistening to the Hardcore History episodes about World War 1, and Dan Carlin makes an interesting observation: Türkiye gets so pissy when you call what the Young Turks did the "Armenian genocide" but genocides are so common throughout history that it would be notable if a country didn't commit one. Israel is also mad about calling what they're doing in Gaza as a genocide, insisting that the 40,000 Gazans who have been killed were obviously Hamas, even 70% of which were women and children.
"Genocide" and "Nazi" are now odd words in English- they're concepts that certain deplorable people have no qualms with idealizing and adhering to, as long as you don't call them that.

I would also love to hear yours. That line of sparkling comparison is definitely something I’m going to add to my vocabulary

Unfortunately, two hours later, I've totally forgotten it. Sorry.

Hi. Did you read the article, by any chance?

I think he might have been commenting about how the opposition is/was fighting to keep the Genocide wording out of the article.
-
Correct.

-
Israel doesn’t think it’s genocide.
-
It’s fkn hilarious, it’s the god damn first line even.
-
I don't get it. Did the irony/sarcasm of the top-level comment fly over your head?
-
Apparently. To me it seems whithom did not read it, as the first line of the article is really clear.
-
Yeah, I thought the sarcasm was pretty clear with all the flags that represent the countries whose governments would have that opinion un-ironically

Israel doesn’t think it’s genocide.

No no no, they don't say it's genocide. I'm pretty sure they are fully aware it's genocide, as that's the purpose.
-
Hehe well, knowing your doing something and saying you’re doing something is definitely a skill authoritarian governments have mastered.
