    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.

              Ok, let me give you the overview because you seem to be struggling to understand.

              The topic is “Centrists use <topic> to judge people as <blank>.”

              My reply was essentially “You are overstating <topic>, and it makes no fucking sense. Everything can’t revolve around <topic> because there are so many other topics that centrists base their opinion on. Everything can’t be <topic>, you are obsessed.”

              Now, do you see how the subject is not genocide itself, just because it says genocide? No, of course you don’t. Dense af. The word is like a flame for you, moths. You will literally burn yourselves trying to defend something nobody is arguing.

              Yes, genocide is bad. Yes, genocide should be fought. Yes, the Democrats and Republicans have blood on their hands. And yet that doesn’t mean everything is genocide. Move the fuck on. The world is big, and there are a million other things at play.

                Correct.

                Move the fuck on.

                I will be six feet underground before I “move the fuck on.” You, all of you, need to get this through your thick skulls.

                What you don’t seem to understand is that asking me to consider any other factor besides genocide is minimizing genocide. This is not a negotiation where you can be like, “well, let’s table this for now and circle back to it,” no, this point is absolute and non-negotiable. If someone supports genocide then I will not support them. Period. I don’t give a shit how snazzy their uniforms are. To even consider such things is both ridiculous and disgusting.

                  You’re like the obnoxious person who chimes in with “Why do you hate waffles, huh?” when someone says they like pancakes. Move the fuck on.

                  “I will defend waffles with my life!”

                    Jesus fucking Christ, you’re evil. I can’t believe I even have to explain this. Being pro- or anti-genocide is not a matter of personal preference.

                    There has literally never been a greater evil uttered on earth than the words coming out of your mouth. If Hell were real, I would have absolute confidence that you’re headed for it’s deepest depths.
