In reply to the discussion: Genocide? This is in fact what genocide looks like: [View all]Hellbound Hellhound
(498 posts)Words like "Innocents". "Civilians". "Genocide". All of those lose meaning when the despotic, totalitarian dictators redefine them and those points are regurgitated by their willing agents.
Hamas? Those are "Civilians", not "Terrorists".
Ununiformed combatants and hostage-wranglers? Those are just "Innocents", not "War Criminals".
Reciprocal and legal warfare? "GENOCIDE!" not "Getting their asses kicked in a war they started".
Thought itself that goes against these totalitarian dipshits becomes a crime, where any deviance from the orthodox view cannot even be comprehended, because there are no other words that aren't defined by The Party, or in this case, Hamas supporters. Language as a weapon of mass destruction, and we're seeing it in real time by the Hamas propaganda elements on the internet.
Please, do continue to try to cite 1984. We've only scratched the surface and I'm genuinely eager to see where you dive next!
ON EDIT: And let's not forget. "Rapist, murdering, misogynistic, homophobic, racist, religious theocratic Nazi zealots"? Those are "FREEDOM FIGHTERS!"
Orwellian indeed.
