    I think it's more similar to the red scare in the way that people are trying to get people fired/deplatformed that hasn't really happened since except maybe post 9/11. Although it is for sure genocide denialism.

      I agree but I'd say that another similar time was the lead up to the Iraq war, through the early part of the insurgency where people still thought we could win.

      Like everyone was so bloodthirsty and brutal to anyone who objected.

      Then we started getting our asses kicked and everyone turned on a dime and pretended they were against the Iraq war from the start.
