Zone1 Has the word "genocide" become as impotent as "racism"?

[Meathead]

As I watch various programs dealing with Gaza, I think words can be so abused by political (and racist) hacks that they become far less profound?

When everything is X, nothing is X.

Genocide would have been carpet bombing and napalming the place

Twice.

Once it's not as impotent as the words "Marxist" and "Socialist", we're good.

So you are a capitalist?

So you are a capitalist?

Of course.

 

[martybegan]

Of course.

I highly doubt that.

Hhmmkay.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

It's just the old Alinsky tactic.

Since Hamas actually DOES advocate the genocide of Jews, it's useful idiots accuse Jews of doing just that.

They support Hamas knowing full well that they seek the extermination of Jews.

The attacks against Israel are genocidal , we have the words of those doing the attacking.
Race is just a way for greedy lazy troublemakers to extort. Rev Jesse Jackson comes to mind

Well they are bombing rubble at the moment time and time again.

Those who suggest racism and genocide are impotent terms are, in fact, impotent thinkers, masturbating mentally to a sterile content.

When you call everything X, X loses it's meaning.

Calling everyone to the right of Mitt Romney a Nazi is an attempt for the old guilt by supposed association trope.

They would if they could the usa has done a fine job on the shiites and they'd love to practice genocide also they really don't like America either so maybe pay for your govt and cut the mercantilist crap maybe come out as atheist and cede christianity to others etc

You have some neighbors and no matter the actions you take these neighbors toss their crap in your backyard at every opportunity. After a while you realize the only option left is genocide and it has been used through the ages as a last resort to end the never ending problems humans face. It works and humans have figured it out.
