I am also unhappy about what the main lemmy instance is doing.

What are your thoughts?

    I was using language symmetric to the parent comment as a rhetorical tool. US state department very clearly states that there is insufficient evidence for claims of genocide. That’s denying the claim being made.

    They say they are unable to prove it is genocide, not that they are unable to claim it is genocide.

    Not being able to prove it is genocide literally means that they’re unable to claim that it is. It’s absolutely surreal that you keep twisting that into something other than what it is. Claims of genocide need positive proof.

      No they say there is insufficient evidence to prove genocide, I can’t be bothered to repeat myself any further.

      I was using language symmetric to the parent comment as a rhetorical tool.

      Thank you for this, I am going to take this as an admission that your initial statement was fallacious rather than a semantic error.

            There is no fallacy here. US state department states that the evidence to support the claim does not exist. The fallacy is trying to turn that into something that it’s not. We’ve literally gone over this for days, and the fact that you still can’t understand that makes me think that we’re not going to get anywhere. Have a good day.

              The fallacy I refer to is your initial statement as to their denial of genocide. You stated it occurred when no such denial took place. When I say fallacious: I refer to this initial statement that you made as a rhetorical tool - in my view fallaciously.

              Thank you for remaining patient and civil, also have a good day.
