    Just another reason I donate to Kbin & not Lemmy.

      That is what the genocide denier wants you to think. It obviously isn’t a semantics argument though.

        I still wouldn’t base my entire opinion on someone over one discussion regarding whether something is or isn’t a genocide. I hope he doesn’t like diet coke or chew with his mouth open.

        This link doesn’t support the claim that the UN called these events a genocide. It lists all sorts of human rights violations on a massive scale, but it doesn’t use the word genocide.

        I suppose the crux of the matter is that it was the USA, not the UN, and then some of its close allies who named the events a “genocide”.

        After this the frontiers harden, nobody talks any more about the actual events, but about the terminology.

          The UN can’t classify acts as genocides as per its rules. However, it can supply resources for independent international organisations to come to their own conclusions, in which case, most classify it as a genocide.

        UN is not calling it a genocide though? The entire report your link refers to does not mention genocide. It does make a clear point of massive discrimination etc though ä.

      Because the developers are the faces of Lemmy. How can you expect the fediverse to grow when its creators are hateful people who deny genocides and even encourage it (regarding the Holodomor).

        Do you have a source for them encouraging genocide? That’s a pretty serious accusation to just throw out without citation.

          Yes, you can check Dessaline’s github page on the holodomor, where his sources encouraged the holodomor.

        We aren’t reddit and all that matter is their github code contributions that allow us and you to shit on them freely for their stupid opinions. If there is ever a problem with their political views interfering with the projects then we can just fork it.

      Exactly. I don’t care about their personal beliefs. I care about what their software will enable, the improvement of the fediverse and it’s uptake.

        Would you argue the same if they were a different breed of violent extremist? Say Neo-Nazi as an example (not that they are, merely an example)

    I’ll never understand anybody who isn’t skeptical of what America tries to say about it’s enemies anymore. I don’t know if there’s a genocide happening in China. But most of the world except the United States seems to think there isn’t. And that’s a big fucking red flag to me.

    If there is one happening and people are being propagandized into denying it, I blame the United States whole heartedly for the embarrassing amount of disinformation they shit out on a daily basis about China.

      And this most of the world is…?

      Because the United Nations most certainly recognises the genocide, as do many other independent human-rights organisations. oh and the leaked documents.

      I’ll never understand this US-centric, bigoted dismissal of anyone and everyone through the lens of American exceptionalism.

      You are the problem you so loudly complain about.

        That’s because American exceptionalism is a lie and you’re too stupid to see that.

        That’s true. Half truths mixed in with lies is the best strategy.
