Another example:
It’s like a Nazi meme saying it’s good that >Jewish< genocide has stopped… But that implies that any other genocide is of no interest and will not be criticized.
But yes defend your rassist hateful shit point telling other then black slavery is ok!
According to Grice’s “maxim of quantity”. Would that apply to black before the word slavery. The detail is already too much and says even more.
Very close, but not quite. It’s like showing up on a post sometime in the future celebrating an end of Palestinian genocide… and saying “it’s good that Jewish genocide stopped”.
That wouldn’t be wrong, it is good to stop genocide, no matter the kind. But it’s suspicious that someone felt the need to show up and say that particular thing in that particular place. That additional context seems to be placed there to implicitly communicate something in particular.
