And that is, itself, a statement about genocide. Saying that people are “hyper-fixated” on genocide, and that they shouldn’t be, that they should “move the fuck on” and that “the world doesn’t revolve around genocide” is saying that genocide isn’t that big of a deal actually, that it’s just a matter of preference, like whether you like waffles or pancakes.

The part that you're missing is "in other people's minds when they make a judgment" because the commenter was making broad generalizations about centrists. Something you left out of your hypothetical by removing the context. Yes, genocide is a huge deal in and of itself, but it's not an enormous weight in people's minds generally speaking. The more thoughtful ones probably do, but it's an out-of-sight-out-of-mind type of deal. It usually happens on the other side of the world for Americans.

Do you see how I'm not saying that we should downplay genocide, but rather the commenter needs to take down a peg the weight they give it to arrive at their conclusion? Do you see how I'm staying within context when you stop your shrieking about it?

Now you did. I said that you were minimizing genocide.

And I just explained how I was not, and that I DID jump through the hoop, and I can prove that I did. Don't make shit up.

Brother, it was not a “trap.”

Besides it being an obvious trap, you absolutely admitted it was a trap, and then you said that you were intending to incriminate me either way. Don't play these fucking games.

What kind of “trap-setter” explains their trap?

You. It doesn't magically stop being a trap in the same way that a puzzle doesn't stop being a puzzle because the puzzle maker said that's what it was. I even linked to the video explaining how those incriminating statements work. Don't piss on my leg.

I asked you a very simple, staightforward, and perfectly fair hypothetical

Absolutely not. You divorced what I was saying from the context and turned it into absolutes that I was not claiming. Which, incidentally, is the same reason why you think I hold a contradictory position, because you refuse to understand what was said and would rather shriek at me about what YOU THOUGHT I said.

And, honestly, I'm quite fed up with you. You either get what I said or you don't. I won't spoon-feed you again.
