re: #331 stabby

If you say “genocide didn’t happen” you’re a denier. And that’s horrible and probably means that you’re slyly supporting that genocide.

Why do you believe the last bit? I have dealt with Holocaust deniers for a long, long time, and a very large number of them really simply deny it, they really don’t think it happened. They think it’s all a lie. Where are you getting this ‘probably’ from?

BUT if you say “this genocide shouldn’t be talked about, mentioning it is an insult” you’re saying something much worse. You’re saying that the victims should be forgotten, ie that the genocide was a good idea. That’s much worse.

The Turkish government doesn’t recognize the Armenian Genocide, I’m not sure why you think they do. They admit the deaths, but say it wasn’t genocide.

I can see why you want to change the subject.

Why is that, Stabby? Is it because the topic is your blanket condemnation of all Muslim groups, your refusal to believe that there is any such thing as a moderate Muslim cleric, and instead we’re talking about the Armenian Genocide?

You never want to actually defend whatever positions you have, you always just want to strike out and find something else, because your positions are fucking indefensible.
