Sorry, my mistake. You were the fucking asshole trashheap troll mentioned in my post. Thank you ever so much for allowing me to repeat what you are and why you and Demoncrap are even here.
What a maroon.

What a maroon.
I repeat:
But I’ll leave you alone. If you can’t remember who a post you made 19 minutes before was about, you clearly have a lot to deal with.
Win!!
I’ve been educated, thank you.
Yeah, you’re the Genocide Guy; it’s the main thing I recall about you, that you are always trying to handwave away genocide as not really genocide.
You are welcome. That’s my actual intention, not throwing sand in the works or trolling.
This is the best sort of irony: unintentional irony.
The idea that after all the posts you’ve made about how your favorite Boogeyman, “conservatives” (who you define as literally anyone who disagrees with you on anything) want to kill every living thing like some kind of Terminator bots, you would call someone else the “Genocide Guy” - that’s seriously comedy gold.
And to be clear (although I seriously doubt that anyone except Der Trihs and possibly Czarcasm is actually stupid enough to need clarification):
I do not think that Reagan’s response to AIDS, nor the Spanish Inquisition, were good things, or perfectly alright. They were both horrendously evil (one more than the other, but both clearly clear the bar for horrendous evil). I think they were both heinous acts against humanity.
I agree with you on this, and slightly disagree with you on how you define genocide, and appreciate your links to caselaw on genocide, and wish you wouldn’t be so trollish in the discussion here and elsewhere. Absent that incredibly grating shit, you’ve often got interesting and helpful things to say.
ISTM that Reagan and the right wing did in fact specifically and purposefully desire and intend for the destruction of at least part of the gay community, and took action (or purposefully prevented action) with that goal in mind - if that’s the criteria, then IMO if definitely qualifies.
so, in your mind, citing international agreements = “handwaving away”. Got it…
You are such a fucking peach, never change buddy, never change.
Maybe, just maybe, I’m responding to the energy displayed by some members of your side, whose actions will never be checked (I’m not talking about moderation, I’m talking about disapproval from the community) because they pick the “right” targets. As the old phrase goes - no bad tactics, only bad targets, right?
Repeated accusations of support for every atrocity that I don’t consider outright genocide coming from Der Trihs, Crowmanyclouds, Czarcasm, and others is - as you put it - “incredibly grating”.
What the fuck are you talking about, you lying piece of fucking shit?
When the fuck did I do that?
Put up or shut up.
I don’t know if this is you confusing me with someone else, or if you are deliberately lying. Either way, it is fucked up.
That’s a very serious claim to make that should be backed up by evidence.
Like I noted above, the Ukranians painstakingly assembled documentation to prove that kind of intent from the Soviet Union. They didn’t do this for shits and giggles; they did it because the dolus specialis associated with the crime of genocide is precisely what makes that crime so grave.
If your claim is that Reagan and the Republicans possessed this special intent when they decided not to adequately respond to the AIDS epidemic, that requires evidence.
What evidence is there that supports this interpretation?
So you disagree about the importance of the element of dolus specialis in establishing a genocide, or on a different part of my interpretation?
I get it, and would just ask that they not be lumped into “my side.”
I’m not making a legal accusation. I’m just telling you how I see it. I’m not absolutely positively certain, but ISTM that it’s more likely than not, based on information I’ve seen, that Reagan and his right wing allies, desired for at least partial destruction of the gay community, and took or prevented action, in order to make that happen.
That’s very fair, I wouldn’t want to be lumped in with them either
I apologize for letting my frustration with others impact the posts I directed at you.
Sure, but you’re using a legal term.
Ok, so that’s the dolus specialis in question. What is this evidence that shows that Reagan and co wanted to eliminate the gay community and took steps to ensure that the AIDS epidemic would do that for them (whether by action or inaction)?
Let me, an outside observer, see if I have this right: you’re demanding evidence for an opinion? In the Pit?
Ahh, Argumentum ad Bricker, it’s been a while since we’ve been subjected to that…
