  • do you actually think the potential misapplication of the word carpet is the thing that makes it a genocide or not? let me help you with that

    ‘carpet’ is very obviously used in a figurative sense to describe “a lot, like in world war two” above, not the technical sense your strictly literal pedantic argument would require to have any pretense of validity.

    the person obviously does not know that “carpet” bombing means anything other than “a lot, like in world war 2”. this pedantic bullshit you’re trying to pull does not fly, nor does it argue against the fact of genocide if true. i have already answered literally all of this before. it is a red herring, you are not arguing in good faith, and i am now blocking you, you disingenuous troll.

    the proof is in the genocidal language and intent, the mass starvation, the indiscriminate targeting of civilians and infrastructure, the manipulation of journalism, the unhesitating violation of human rights and international law. its a genocide because of the systematic erasure of a people, a culture. ‘carpet’ is very obviously used in a figurative sense to describe “a lot, like in world war two” above, not the technical sense your strictly literal pedantic argument would require to have any pretense of validity. “lie about carpet bombing”



  • its 100% in any meaningful sense of the word move the electrons that move, but thanks to ol’ benny franks we have an ass-backwards roundabout way of describing the relative motion of stationary proton “holes” compared to electrons which are- well, more teleporting than moving, frequently (if you’ll pardon the pun). holes move in the same way that water pressure is analogous to voltage: there may be mathematical and maybe even some physical comparisons to be made, but the conceptual framework is fundamentally an analogy, and in the case of “hole flow” a fudged up cya excuse for not updating the damn convention when the mistake was discovered. hurrumph.

    holes flowing… protons with free motion? in a solid wire or semiconductor? you mean a plasma.

    is there a physical constraint one could apply to matter to cause “holes” to flow while electrons stay put?
