This is a classic bit of sleazy rhetoric: implicitly blaming Yale for hypocrisy because of genocide shitposting by nebulous "people"

It’s absolutely sleazy and it’s majorly pissing me off.

The Yale Humanitarian Research lab, where my former boss and a number of my former colleagues now work - all people I know very well and greatly respect - welcomed the genocide determination from Blinken back in January in a statement.

Here is the Yale Daily News in January describing how the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab’s work contributed to Blinken’s determination of genocide in Sudan:

Here is language from the Yale HRL lab describing their analysis of the El Fasher massacre in Sudan from Oct 27th, which states *these specific events* “may rise to the level of genocide. This is *extremely normal* word-choice for an event that is very recent and is still being investigated.

Blocking replies to a quote tweet is such a cowardly for of posting

Nowhere does this statement by Blinken declare tthe SAF's actions to be genocide. The Sudanese Armed Forces are not a militia at all, much less an RSF aligned militia. In fact the SAF is the main force fighting against the RSF.

It’s only “genocide” when non-white people are doing it

Many experts think Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine. The Bosnian genocide was not that long ago, either.
