Here is Dessalines denying that any genocide is taking place: https://lemmy.ml/comment/471382

They can say "we don't support genocide" all day long, but denying that any genocide is taking place and actively trying to persuade others that no genocide is happening isn't any better.

I argue that it unintentionally supports a genocide since they're using a platform to (inadvertently) hide the genocide from the public by convincing others that nothing of the sort is happening.

Refutation of a baseless claim from a geopolitical rival, is not the same as denial.

[-] Enantiophobe@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

True. But Dessalines literally says that he agrees with people who disagree that a genocide is taking place. That is a denial. We can shuffle syntax around all day long.

Weird, I just went to it and it seems to work. I'll SS it and post it in my comment for ease.

I for one do definitely believe that there is a genocide happening and I'm appalled that we can't do more about it. But people trust in different sources of information. Not believing that a genocide is happening is not the same as actually endorsing genocide.
