I think it is evidence of how so much we have been made to think that gaining an audience is the goal of life in this attention-seeking economy that saying "a rapist shouldn't seek a public persona that is available for consumption" is taken as equivalent to saying they "can never rejoin society."

I'm not saying that intent doesn't matter I'm saying mass murder of a specific group provides sufficient evidence for the lay person. Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining as they say.

Skippy the jedi droid @slightlylyons.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
In your argument that reproachment will never again apply regardless of intent provided the perpetrators don't keep notes. That starts to sound a lot like genocide denial.

Skippy the jedi droid @slightlylyons.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Well that was my argument. The common usage, which is what Bluesky is, should not have to meet the legal standard. In otherwords I'm going to call bullshit if someone tries to tell me well intent isn't proved Isreal isn't committing genocide.

Skippy the jedi droid @slightlylyons.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Then the definition of a word is it's common use and the public should be treating actions that look like genocide as genocide.

Skippy the jedi droid @slightlylyons.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Then it's very easy to get away with genocide.

Skippy the jedi droid @slightlylyons.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
So as long as a nation gives a good excuse they can't commit genocide in your mind?
