You know and I know that there are certain things you are not allowed to say in these United States. Especially about World War II and the Holocaust. Because the Narrative.
Right now, I’d say we are trending towards a Narrative that you are not allowed to doubt the genocide in Gaza. Why? Because genocide.
Back in March 2024, Willis Eschenbach, a noted “climate denier,” came up with an analysis of “genocide.” The word was invented by Rafael Lemkin in 1944, he says, when “Lemkin was employed by the US War Department to write a book on Nazi atrocities called Axis Rule in Occupied Europe.”
Lemkin went on to fight tirelessly to get the word enshrined in international law. His efforts finally bore fruit in the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide 9 December 1948.
According to Eschenbach, the definition of genocide is “so vague as to be totally meaningless.” But when you think about it, a vague definition is a good thing from the point of view of the powerful, because it makes it easier to declare that anyone that disagrees with you is a baddie and ought to be banned from social media. Because the Narrative.
When you are the ruling class, you really don’t want to make it easy for the peasants to challenge your Narrative. Anthropologists can tell us why. If a tribe is threatened by the tribe next door, then once the decision has been made to send the men to defend the border there is no room for debate until after the glorious victory.
In our modern era we have Narratives on Racism and Genocide defined vaguely enough to make it hard for the peasants to disagree with their betters.

The left is better than the conservatives at weaponizing the vocabulary. Probably because conservatives are busy with their jobs.

Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
“acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”
HAMAS isn’t “a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”.
“Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group”
I regard the PPACA and state abortion coverage mandates as violating the Convention.
Nah. Abortions are just a way to hide the pregnancy from theor husbands or fiancees who weren’t the cause of it.
The left is better at bending reality to fit the narrative. They lack ration, reasoning and critical thinking skills and are easily manipulated.
It is religious. Islam. A religion with no tolerance for any other religion. One that will happily kill you if you resist its demands.
HAMAS isn’t “a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”.::

Bingo!
Mohammedism wants to call itself a religion, but it is just a political movement whose goal is world domination.
