A few days ago everyone was somehow scandalized that a former War College professor was of the opinion that you shouldn’t call something genocide without overwhelming proof of all the elements of the crime of genocide. Today it’s about how some words can sound weird even to people on your side?

Nailed it. Lots of people have convinced themselves that if you discourage candidates from using those words, it proves you oppose the underlying concepts those words represent. Therefore, you must be hated and that hate must be expressed loudly on social media. Strange way to build a coalition. 🤷‍♂️
