Genocide is bad, wether it's the Holocaust or the Very Real White Genocide in South Africa. If you have a problem with this statement, it's because you think genocide is good.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Shit, there is a white genocide in South Africa ? like right now ?

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They're making a joke by using a logical fallacy known as a false premise.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Damn that was hard to wrap my head around. I think I understand now. Cheers

The white genocide claim is something that Elon Musk and Donald Trump have been promoting. He even asked the president of South Africa about it when he came to the White House, and he told Trump it wasn't a thing, but of course Trump didn't believe him. In fact, he's offering amnesty to white African immigrants as refugees (something which is denied if you have different color of skin).

It's so real, definitely happening. Trump even said so.

(If English isn't your first language, they're mocking OP's implication that because people downvote , that means they love )

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

If anything Trump saying so is making me trust the statement less, but I'll look it up. Thanks for the clarification

Ooohhhh no wait, you were being sarcastic. I'm lost now

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 16 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Lets follow the pattern of OP that Shinkan is mocking: "I don't like eating puppies, whether it's done by nazis OR users named Hadriscus"

You would downvote this, because you understand he is implying you, Hadriscus, like eating puppies, and also comparing you with nazis.

He is then coming here to say "Hey, look, Hadriscus downvoted me! That means he is pro-eating puppies."

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

That is frankly too convoluted for me to understand, but at least I now know both of you were sarcastic in your writing. Thanks for clarifying

And the Uyghurs in China.

Authoritarianism is bad, whether it's the Nazis or the CCP.
