    I’m in no position to confirm or deny such a thing right now, with the fog of war still so thick. It depends on 1) what has actually occurred vs what Western war propaganda claims has occurred[1], and 2) which of the various narrow-to-broad definitions of genocide one deploys. When everyone is blaming everyone else of genocide while Gazans are literally being intentionally snuffed out, casual accusations ring a bit hollow.

    It’s funny how in Feb. of 2022, Western corporate media suddenly memory-holed their own reporting on eight years of Ukrainian government-backed fascist Banderite paramilitary attacks on eastern Ukrainians, and flipped the ethnic cleansing narrative on its head virtually overnight.

        I’ve made my position clear dozens of times, but go on.

            This is not a sportsball game or the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I’m not on the “side” of a capitalist state[1][2], which is what Russia and Ukraine and Ukraine’s “ally” are.

                I […] do not read any of your little copypasta links.

                And it seems you never cite a blessed thing, though it’s hard to say since you delete most of your comments for some reason 🤷

                    Good for you. Anybody who cares—which is approximately no one—already knew my position, because I’ve never stopped explaining it in gory detail. So go ahead and report me to the House Committee on Un-American Activities.. I don’t care.
