    One can’t in good conscience cite the IAGS as an authority when they condemn the genocide in Gaza and then ignore them when they condemn the genocide in Xinjiang.

    Then it’s a good thing I’m not doing that.

      Is there a genocide happening in Gaza? And if your answer is yes, on what basis are you saying that?

          Whoops, sorry, based on the standard you set below, I’m afraid I have to conclude that you’re actually stanning the shit out of Marjorie Taylor Greene. After all, a bad actor not discussed here says that Israel is perpetrating a genocide of Palestinians much as Adrian Zenz says China is perpetrating a cultural genocide of the Uyghurs, and therefore I’m going to have to attribute your opposition to the obvious, well-documented, ongoing genocide in Palestine to an antisemitic belief in Jewish space lasers.

          Wow, arguing in bad faith totally unconstrained by logic is so much fun; I see why you like it now.

          (Edit: And in this case, I’m citing what’s effectively an actual neo-Nazi compared to just a member of a right-wing think tank with a wildly out-of-context screenshot. Even when I’m trying to be bad-faith as a joke, I somehow can’t measure up to your work.)
