Means pretty much the definition: "the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group."
So yeah...in my crazy conspiracy theory (which I don't take very seriously) I think Neanderthals may have been systematically hunted down and exterminated.
When you study human history you soon discover that no matter the era, we have a total fondness for killing each other.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoGenocide really depends on the motivation. If we simply ate them to extinction, that wouldnt be genocide. Even expanding and taking their lands would be a stretch, as long as the destruction is incidental
- hyggetrold 3y agoUm...wow. Might makes right?
- s1artibartfast 3y agoThats not what I said. Im just commenting on what what genocide is, and there is a component of knowledge and intent. Even your quoted definition has it.
- hyggetrold 3y agoI don’t see a way to read what you wrote other than condoning genocide. You are making excuses for when it is okay to make others go away. Argue that it’s not “genocide” - whatever - if the outcome is the same and you are saying it’s okay, you are condoning it.
