    That strawman was ridiculous when the other person built it and it still is.

      How is it a strawman? The goal of genocide is to kill/remove all the people. You claimed the house is already burned down, very clearly implying that there is no one left to kill or no one who can go back.

        It’s a strawman because you’re ascribing a position that I haven’t taken to me in an effort to make it seems like my argument has less merit than it actually does. That’s the definition of a strawman and that’s what you did.

        You claimed the house is already burned down

        Meaning that irreparable catastrophe has already occurred. Catastrophe that could have been avoided if not for the delayed reaction of her and other leading US politicians

        very clearly implying that there is no one left to kill or no one who can go back.

        Only to the most literal of bad faith interpretations. Don’t be fatuous, Jeffrey.

          Oh, so the analogy is just terrible. The house hasn’t burned down, it’s just the fire looks like it’s about to spread out of the garage, and you’re saying its too late because it irreparable damage has already been done.

          What the other poster is saying is that we can still save the rest of the house.

          Although it should be clear that if you say the house has burned down, that means all of it and not just a small part.

      Or maybe the way you phrased it sounded exactly like what I said. All the comments and downvotes are a hint that this might be true.

      But No. No. It’s the kids who are wrong.
