I remember when I was minoring in gender/sexuality/women's studies a prof asked this in the first class and less than half the class raised their hand. I found that pretty strange at the time
I wish someone had hit me over the head and asked me to engage with them when I was a teen, I would've reached... certain conclusions... way earlier

"the genocide people" aka the people angry about the democrats arming a genocide. good lord
they just wanted to sample the taboo, transgressive thrill of *checks notes* esoteric hitlerism
