It does make a difference. It's important context.

You can still denounce it. You can still make holocaust comparisons. But it's important context that shouldn't be left out. Because you're perfectly aware of the implication otherwise.

Yeah, I agree, it's good to be accurate. However, I doubt that that was the real intention of @ArtikBanana@lemmy.dbzer0.com. That's the point, hope it's clear now.

They weren't saying this for "accuracy" unfortunately... otherwise no one would have had an issue with it. It's the undertone that stinks.

And the "undertone that stinks" is anything that doesn't agree with your position 100%.

[–] snek@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Sure, whatever floats your boat 🙄

You wouldn't respect a holocaust denier, would you? So why would I respect someone like ArtikBanana who is denying another genocide?
