![Genocide justification is the claim that a genocide is morally excusable/defensible, necessary, and/or sanctioned by law.[1] Genocide justification differs from genocide denial, which is an attempt to reject the occurrence of genocide. Perpetrators often claim that genocide victims presented a serious threat, justifying their actions by stating it was legitimate self-defense of a nation or state. According to modern international criminal law, there can be no excuse for genocide.[2][3] Genocide is often camouflaged as military activity against combatants, and the distinction between denial and justification is often blurred.[4]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j76trmiofvaxxpvx2vnb2vwf/bafkreia4twc2qbwkmn3ozstknikbeo5xx56elnzdkycdjkzfkwehmvk4jq@jpeg "Click to view full size")

Damn if only those rural families cared about their own circumstances and well being. They voted for this, have fun
I am once again begging headline writers to learn anything about executive orders
trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa
âcaviar topped chicken nuggetâ - I cannot think of a better objective-correlative for the American ruling class
Mockery isn't suffering. It's consequences. Conservatives need to stop being infantilized and actually take ownership of their actions. If they can't handle being verbally insulted, well suck it up, that's called life
Ever notice leftists have to take accountability for opinions/views they don't even personally have, but all conservatives are endlessly "manipulated by fox news and right wing media"? They, the ideology in charge, have no responsibility. The oppositional resistance has to answer for everything.
Disgusting how quiet the media is when there's clear evidence Israel wants to completely ethnically cleanse Gaza. Months of outrage over even the mere insinuation that Israel is acting out of line and now crickets. Y'all are going to hell for this.
Fascism is always unbelievably stupid. Because the majority of its adherents are.
Can we reflect on how elected Democrats haven't said "latinx" since 2021 and yet I still see two articles a week telling them to stop? The evidence doesn't indicate that Dems using SJW jargon is a real problem â it's something the far right says to justify their actions.
Maybe don't live in the genocidal ethno-colony then ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
SCOOP: i made a notes app list featuring a new blacklist of words dems shouldnât use
Glad these masked thugs are finally getting killed. Pigs should fear for their lives since they apparently get to murder with impunity
All I'm hearing is a bunch of whining from the people who voted for this shit
As if it's not completely possible to just use those exact same maps later on once Republicans finally realize they've actually gotta get PEOPLE to vote for them, not corn fields, oil rigs, and Fortune 500s
the reason this discourse will never end is because it is completely untethered from any kind of evidentiary standard. as long as there is a 19-year-old barista somewhere saying âcultural appropriation,â guys like nichols will complain that âdemocratsâ use alienating language.
Then I pray the public makes the final decision themselves
already giving people shit for not supporting his hypothetical presidential run is really giving the game away for the blue no matter who crowd huh
It's the weekend
These people are an embarrassment.
Game on.
how many times am I gonna have to post this
deeply uncomfortable to be in a position where youâre like âno please, every other nation, literally treat us as the bad guys, it is necessary and overdue and the only way anything has a chance of getting betterâ
I must too many teeth to know who this is.
Three decades+ of liberalism abandoning any concept of the political for economic technocracy, only to inevitably confront two insurgent populist left & right political movements that actually believe in something, expending all of its energy kneecapping the former, only to capitulate to the latter.
In my opinion the real lesson of Russiagate was that Trump wanted the US to become more like Putinâs Russia: a corrupt dictatorship in which a billionaire used the government to enrich his friends and criminalize his critics. In his second term, heâs making real progress.
I'd have to assume people with a brain and a soul self-select out of being cops at a pretty high rate
Perfect! More time for him to eat shit instead
Then quit. I hope it gets WAY worse and every cop's life stays a living hell âđź
This guy's a vet and a lawyer who threw a sandwich and offered to turn himself in, so they sent a paramilitary platoon with a camera crew. They have FBI and U.S. Marshal badges; apparently those agencies do no real work beyond camera stunts, harassing minorities, and filling concentration camps.
No it's Republicans. You're all complicit. Live with it.
Does he even remember posting it? How many glasses of scotch deep was he when he hit send?
A thing I think we miss is that the âauthoritarian playbookâ isnât a set of instructions authoritarians are reading from, itâs just a list of things that happen when narcissists get too much power.
Really striking how Mamdaniâs campaign is rooted in joy and a deep love for New York City while Cuomo and Adams are running on how much the city sucks
Is the sarcasm in the room with us or?
Nothing about the national discourse around his candidacy would lead you to believe that Zohran Mamdani is the most popular mayoral candidate among NYC Jews. And this is another example of why the national discourse about American Jews are so misleading.
Zionists never beating the "going straight to hell" allegations
Now he can look up at everyone while working security for Hitler. Buddy must love his job
This is so perfect. "Dead Center" and he's so far to the right that he's half off the cover
And what law exactly? Oh wise crone
Imagine doing this anywhere on Earth and thinking you're the good guys
Donât think this canât happen to where you live in the next few years. The people who did this are absolutely willing to kill all of us, too.
And there you have it. If the Trump admin determines that evidence against a specific person is not âcredibleâ they will bury that part from whatever they end up releasing.
comedians should stick to nonpolitical jokes like calling monica lewinksky a slut
Lmao what a complete train wreck of a person. Hope he stays miserably embarrassed in the glass closet he's so obviously standing in
Itâs like Holmes said in his Abrams dissent. If your movement or beliefs or war effort canât tolerate criticism in a âsilly leaflet by an unknown man,â whatâs it worth? Theyâre a bunch of broke 20-year-olds fighting a billionaire war machine, using tents and mean words. Youâre not the victim here.
Oh, you wanted to let a team (otherwise known as a GANG) into the country with bats (WEAPONS) to play against (FIGHT) our youths (BABIES????)
You don't understand. You see, someday, I'll be a landlord and how will I be able to pay off the mortgage to my second lake house without rents progressing disgustingly higher forever and ever?
God forbid parents actually watch their children
Keir Starmer's statement today on how the forced mass starvation of children in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible would certainly be a powerful one if he wasn't one of the people who made it possible
Failure? This has always been the plan. Raze the strip and starve the rest to extermination. It's a concentration camp they've bombed nonstop for nearly two years. Why would they suddenly now care to feed the very people they clearly want to kill off? Who exactly is showing up to stop them?
Does the AP even know what bickering looks or sounds like?
Easier time being on the right side of history when you don't have AIPAC's hands two feet up every politician's asshole like a goddamn ventriloquist.
My video game hot take of the day: This is a bitter pill to swallow for people in general, and I understand why people donât want the price hikes, but video games are massively undervalued and have been for a long, long time now.
âThey falsely stated that I, a U.S. citizen, have no constitutional rights at a point of entry, and officers became increasingly agitated as I continued to assert my rights regardless,â Wilmer Chavarria said. www.advocate.com/news/vermont...
Do you remember in Rugrats where Chuckie gets a treatment that makes him breathe normally and then it wears off in the end. That's what it feels like when the Ritalin metabolizes out of your system lol
Things the good guys do right? Right?
They're gonna corner the market in vending machines that read Mein Kampf to you while it gets your soda.
looking at the 30+ democracies that have successfully prosecuted heads of state for violating their constitutions over the past 15 years
Yet another example of why ICE must be abolished. Why would any sensible country keep around a security force like this? It doesn't even matter what your views are on immigration, this entire agency and all of its staff needs to go.
Sucks to suck Russia đ
Fake generation. Basically younger boomers or older millennials at this point lol
Sierra Club is one of those organizations I figured was obviously good and never looked into the specifics of until talking to a lobbyist at a happy hour and quickly realized theyâre the environmental movement for people who think âthe environmentâ is âyou canât see another house from your houseâ
pretty incredible indictment of NYTâs news judgement that Wyden just comes out and says the real news, while the NYT story is framed all about the posturing and buries the lede
Republicans never let a tragedy go to waste
this is what you look like as a Harry Potter fan in 2025
Buddy of mine is learning he's completely replaceable no matter how well he does his job. For how much I say I dislike having to go to work, the job and wage security I feel being in a union far surpasses any extra cash I'd make through tips
Five months ago ...
"The GOP: unanimously in favor of protecting sex predators of children."
Also what the fuck does Comey have to do with anything. The man universally hated by democrats. He should be kissing that man's feet for handing him the 2016 election on a silver platter
Idiot has no clue half his followers believe the Epstein list is full of elite democrat pedophiles and voted for him so that he would reveal such a compromising & damning list. There's no justifying withholding it in their eyes. Not releasing it breaks open the MAGA cognitive dissonance floodgates
I keep referring people back to this because it keeps coming up. People ask me how long things this regime does will be allowed or tolerated and I keep asking âby whomâ? Dad is not getting home later. The most charitable view of SCOTUS is that they have decided to be hands-offâŚ. /1
Bunch of embarrassed Nazis
This is an important piece from a senior Holocaust scholar (who grew up in Israel and is an IDF veteran), and itâs important that itâs published in the NYT.
Now THAT's a cease and desist letter
I wonder if there is a generalizable tendency wherein if bad things happen in communities that are sufficiently supermajority support for a given party or what have you they just cling more to what they believe supports them rather than being open to the possibility that theyâve been betrayed.
There is no longer any doubt that Israel has set up a fake humanitarian organisation so it can kettle Gazans into a kill box and murder them en masse It is evil beyond description and in a decent world it would result in immediate, massive, global action to stop them and prosecute those responsible
Yeah that's called being wrong đđđ
i think the big middle event between george floyd protests and covid that accelerated this hard right turn in elite circles was tech employees using slack to stage walk-outs and force concessions from management. tech bosses got a first whiff of organized labor's power and started reading mein kampf
Perfect, you don't get to gleefully tear families apart and then sit back and think you're untouchable. If they wanted to stay anonymous they can go scrub toilets for all I care.
The flop sweat emanating from Trump on this Epstein stuff is awfully visible. Bipartisanship committee now! Otherwise what are Republicans hiding?
I think we underestimate how much the rotting of American civics is due to the Republicans just relentlessly blocking everything. People want to see the government doing things.
It's just remarkable that the president of the United States is running an extortion racket in broad daylight and not only is the nation apparently unable to stop it, hardly anyone will even call it what it obviously is.
They've got a gun. They can end their "low morale" problem pretty quick all on their own.
All of this sounds like if there's going to be "assault" charges pressed regardless of how the situation is handled, what's stopping citizens from just physically assaulting these agents from the onset? ICE deserves to fear coming to work if they're gonna sell their soul for that paycheck
In 2021 Biden awarded Kerr county $10.2M in ARPA funds to be used for flood prevention infrastructure. But they faced political pressure from republican residents and opted out of the plan. In Maga language thatâs called âowning the Libs.â
Further context: If youâve never dealt with FEMA after a disaster I can tell you they answer within 30 seconds. No hold times. Real live wonderful people who help while you cry and canât even figure out what questions to ask. They walk you through it all. Every call. NOEM STOLE THAT $ FOR ICE
He's just upset he can't control the fascist like he wanted to
All Iâm saying is, if Trump wants to play King so badly, then he should be prepared for the inevitable consequencesâŚ
Oh, I'm sure Mike knows how to be down on his knees real well
"No way to prevent this" says country that is actively dismantling services that could have prevented this
the basic message of the republican party is âfuck you, youâre on your own.â
The Gnostics might've been onto something
*observing a man being choked to death* listen man, I'm with you in your struggle but only if this stays completely peaceful
