Focus on what exactly?

What’s defined as genocide apologia?

Do the following cross the line?

  • Israel has a right to defend itself.
  • Hamas oppresses Gazans and is an obstacle to peace.
  • Hamas has repeatedly announced to want to repeat an October 7 style attack as soon as they are able to.
  • There have been protests going on for weeks in Gaza demanding Hamas to let the hostages go and give up power in Gaza (Hamas out!, Hamas barra barra!) to end the war.
  • One third of Gazans wanted to emigrate before the war started.
  • Serious and powerful people make arguments that the war in Gaza is not a genocide.

Would you consider Abu Mazen’s thesis to be genocide apologia?

Is this specific to Israel or are genocide of Armenians, Uyghurs, Rohingya, and others covered as well?

The best new use of woke is the woke right.

The author James Lindsay has defined it in similar terms, as “a victimhood-based identity politics” whose “victim groups are whites, Christians, men, and straight people”. He argues that the movement is “roughly intersectional” insofar as it is obsessed with identity politics and a grievance relating to anti-white racism. “Like their counterparts on the Woke Left,” Lindsay writes, “the Woke Right have accepted as fact that there’s a conspiracy against people like them and that their only real hope is to lean into the identity grouping and advocate for collective power under that heading”. In these terms, the “woke right” is a kind of ideological doppelgänger, whose members exhibit the same precisionist and absolutist tendencies of their leftist counterparts.

Pierce Morgan uses it more and more often against right wingers to great effect.

Hezbollah has killed far more Arabs than they ever damaged Israel. Without Hezbollah Assad would have lost in Syria years ago. They have also turned Lebanon into a failed state for decades.

Hezbollah are horrible all around. They are ineffective at fighting Israel and great at killing Arabs.

The answer is abolish the monarchy and socialize the aristocracy’s land ownership.

Nobody has killed more leftists than tankies.

I see freifunk networks more rarely nowadays. They also are notoriously slow. Usually the mobile phone network is faster, even in Germany.

If you really want to make a man’s day, compliment them on their dick.

Woke is now a synonym for Social Justice warrior.

A person or movement prioritizing moralizing outrage about minor grievances over actual effective societal change.

As my half Nigerian cousin likes to say on issues like white people wearing dreadlocks: “That’s something only white privileged women care about.”
