    The world does not revolve around genocide, good god, can we see the world at large beyond a single topic?

    Sure, the Nazis did the Holocaust, so that’s one point against, but their uniforms looked pretty sharp, so that’s one point in favor. All in all, pretty much neutral. I don’t see why people get so hung up on one single topic.

      That doesn’t quite fit what I’m saying, but I’m glad you found the opportunity to regurgitate one of your comments I’ve read a while ago.

        I frequently call out bullshit attempts to minimize literal genocide as being “just a single issue,” so I’m not surprised it sounds similar to something I’ve said before.

        It does, however, fit exactly with what you said.

          Nobody’s minimizing anything. I’m saying you and Ensign_Crab are overstating the role that genocide plays in this one topic.

          So how does your comment fit that? It’s a thought-terminating saying that you like to repeat as if it proves a point. That’s it. Don’t come at me with your bullshit, either.

            I genuinely don’t see how it’s possible to reason with this bullshit.

            “Not minimizing, just saying that you’re overstating,” what? Do you not recognize the obvious contradiction in that?

            So how does your comment fit that?

            I don’t see how you’re struggling to make the connection, it’s literally just swapping out one genocide and one perpetuator of genocide for another, keeping the words and logic exactly the same. I’m not (sarcastically) “minimizing” the Holocaust, I’m just “saying that you’re overstating” the Holocaust in (presumably) concluding from it that Nazis are bad, without considering other factors, such as how they dress.

              Brother, you realize that the original statement by Ensign_Crab makes no sense, right? They’re using genocide to grind their axe and have admitted as much. You two are using a hot topic like genocide as an excuse to rail against people and pick a fight. My criticism is a meta comment about that.

              What doesn’t make sense is what you’re accusing me of when you haven’t realized why I’m saying it.

                Makes perfect sense to me. Don’t see anything about it that doesn’t make sense.

                They’re using genocide to grind their axe and have admitted as much

                Really? Where? Or are you just making that up and lying?

                Genocide is a pretty good reason to pick a fight, if you ask me. I think it’s the single most valid reason to pick a fight that has ever existed.

                “You’re just using genocide as an excuse to rail against people and pick a fight!”

                  Of course it does, you’re not even listening

                  Really? Where? Or are you just making that up and lying?

                  I am? Or are you? I’m literally explaining why I’m saying the things I’m saying, and you’re here accusing me of things I’m not even talking about.

                  Genocide is a pretty good reason to pick a fight

                  Yeah, when the topic is the genocide itself. Herp derp.

                  “You’re just using genocide as an excuse to rail against people and pick a fight!”

                  You literally are, even though we’re not talking bout that.

                  At least rub those two last neurons together before you reply. This is not even about you, you’re just defending some dumbass and trying to change the topic to your liking.

                    Yeah, when the topic is the genocide itself.

                    The topic is genocide. Literally the reason I replied to you in the first place is because you made the absurd and absolutely abhorrent statement, “The world does not revolve around genocide, good god, can we see the world at large beyond a single topic?” What the hell else would we be talking about besides that? If you drop something like, “Genocide isn’t a big deal, actually” into literally any conversation, then the conversation ceases to be about anything else and becomes entirely about that.

                    I’m saying you and Ensign_Crab are overstating the role that genocide plays in this one topic.

                    This is not even about you

                    I think it is. I mean, it’s primarily about you, and how you’re completely evil to your core.
