You're taking about all of humanity, not just people who have committed genocide. Not everyone on earth has committed genocide.
Are you only including bad people in your sample? Obviously that would end up skewing the sample towards people being bad. Have you heard of the term representative sample in statistics? That's how I'm using it.
I'm sorry you haven't met any non terrible people. I've met plenty. I hope you can meet some more people to change that.
What do you mean by genocide? What does it mean to support it? The only genocide I've been alive for that I know of is the current one against the Uyghur Muslims. Am I supporting that one?
How do I support those genocides?
How many “genocidists” have you killed?
By not killing ones killing the uyghur muslims? That's the only genocide I've been alive for.
They're wrong and you're wrong. You can both be wrong.
No it isn't. Both the people blaming you for things before you are alive are wrong, and you blaming me for things before I was alive are wrong. Both are wrong because they were blaming people for things they couldn't have effected.
Could you give an example of something you are blamed for that you weren't alive for?
What do you mean by good? People who don't want to totally dominate all other people at every opportunity?
