just noticing a lot of very principle anti-genocidists very suddenly changing their focus, it is almost as if some pattern can be discerned through ignoring their statements and watching their behavior

Why are you surprised that people are talking about the current news cycle? Is it seriously crazy that people who saw the debate are concerned?

Do you legitimately think that people who have been anti-genocide have suddenly given up their anti-genocide stance to talk about the current news topic?

And is someone who is anti-genocide supposed to be pro-geriatric, and therefore being anti-geriatric is pro genocide? It seems like you are creating a mutually exclusive false dichotomy.

The message you are trying to push only works because you didn’t put anti-genocide on the other computer chip. You made a strawman.
