Meh. Everyone is evil. Evil is a misleading, arbitrary, nebulous term that is really unhelpful in reality.

Did you mean for this to be read in Sideshow Bob's voice?

We're talking about genocide here. You're handwaving away the concept of evil because you don't want to be judged for supporting war crimes.

I'm judging you anyway.

Nah, we're talking about the validity of a term, and genocide or not, evil, and good, are nebulous, arbitrary terms people only attach to conceptsor events they personally agree or disagree with. They're subjective, and therefore not helpful.

That doesn't change because you think you can invoke Godwin's Law to try to justify it.

If you actually cared about stopping genocide, it'd be you saying that.

Don't waste your breath judging me; I ignore the courts.

Like I said, you're just handwaving away any word you don't like hearing by denying that it has any meaning at all.

You're just not listening and too busy getting angry to have an actual conversation and it shows.

Now, respond to what I said instead of trying to put me down.

None of your words have meaning, by your own insistence.

Weird, I clicked on a post mocking the US electoral system and not a thread about genocide. Maybe you're thinking of another post?
