Personally speaking, the is-it-a-genocide debate makes me tune out. It’s hyperlegal, clearly a moving target and selectively prosecuted by each side to the point of, often, absurdity.
If two people want to debate it, fine, but I have no obligation to pay attention. If we want to talk about harms and harm reduction, that feels more concrete and relatable.
- gershy 4mo agoI love this point, invoking "genocide" will only derail you. The conversation benefits by being framed simply in terms of ethical validity / harm.
