Not everyone on earth has committed genocide.

But anyone at least supports genocide, at least theoretically.

Are you only including bad people in your sample?

Not intentionally, but the whole point is that 1) a random sampling obtains no "good" people 2) a thorough search also fails to turn up these mythical "good" people.

I hope you can meet some more people to change that.

The people I'm surrounded by would never allow that. They are willing to commit genocide to make sure the people they control stay in control.

What do you mean by genocide? What does it mean to support it? The only genocide I've been alive for that I know of is the current one against the Uyghur Muslims. Am I supporting that one?

Does fucking no one read a history book on this planet?

I'm referring to all of them ever waged. I'm referring to the fact that people practice genocide - and have become quite good at it for practicing it so often.

How do I support those genocides?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

By not killing the genocidists.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How many “genocidists” have you killed?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I plead the fifth.

By not killing ones killing the uyghur muslims? That's the only genocide I've been alive for.

I am regularly blamed for things I was not alive for. Why do you get a pass where I don't?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're wrong and you're wrong. You can both be wrong.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not on that - it's an either/or situation.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

No it isn't. Both the people blaming you for things before you are alive are wrong, and you blaming me for things before I was alive are wrong. Both are wrong because they were blaming people for things they couldn't have effected.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could you give an example of something you are blamed for that you weren't alive for?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The Sylmar Earthquake.

What do you mean by good? People who don't want to totally dominate all other people at every opportunity?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. I define evil, generally, as the will and desire to dominate others. This is informed by the group of Cluster-B personality disorders.
