    No no, I get it, let’s just give credit to all the other useless bullshit that dilutes the argument and gets us nowhere.
    Giving an excuse to horrible actions because of ‘generational trauma’ or other ‘less odd things to say’ wastes everybody’s time and gives them another day of atrocities to commit.

    Edit: also, why am I arguing my thesis on a meme page? Maybe my parents are first cousins as well…

      It’s more that you weren’t attacking the person for the crime they’re commiting, or even their personal ugliness, but seemed to be attacking an entire ethnicity based on their gene pool.

        Saing they have a tendency to inbreeding isn’t an attack, it’s stating a fact.
        Their genetic pool is, as you can figure, a direct consequence of this fact.

        If I made it up, that would be an attack.

          Look at your first comment. Would you say the same about any other ethnic/cultural group with low genetic diversity? Do you see why it comes across as eugenicist?

          It’s right to be outraged at this settler for what he’s doing to people in their homes. But when people focus genes and ethnicities rather than the crimes of an individual, they dilute blame away from the individual and drag in people who had nothing to do with it.

            If suggesting that maybe you should stop fucking your relatives is eugenistic then everybody is Josef Mengele except for Israel and Alabama.
