An assertion is not an argument.

You're just spouting bumper-sticker slogans and getting mad when everyone doesn't immediately agree with you.

It's not genocide. Period. And when you insist that it is, it becomes impossible to engage with you. It's bad faith.

But do go on feeling self-righteous fake moral outrage.
