Jimmy Carter was able to quietly support genocide because there were only 3 TV news stations at the time. None of them would mention Cambodia, you had to read the 14th page of the NYT to actually be informed.
This level of broad-based ignorance is no longer possible in the internet era.
And beside that, "just shut up and keep genociding" is a shocking and evil stance to take. Ignoring morality and hiding behind realpolitik is how we get figures like Kissinger, Netanyahu, and Hitler.
The only shocking thing here is how completely you missed the tone of a very obviously tongue and cheek comment. You might be spending too much time on this site. Maybe go touch grass for a while buddy.
I come in contact with genocide denial both when touching grass and when terminally online.
If you want to do genocide denial but sarcastically, you need to make it more obvious to separate yourself from the large segment of the population that does it without sarcasm.
