I mean, that's pretty clearly false. Very recently, a certain orange man and his (until this past week) peppy sidekick have been referring to the predicament of Afrikaner farmers as genocide - I'm pretty sure you would agree with me that that isn't the case in actual reality. Therefore, I'm pretty sure you would agree there are some claims of genocide that are in fact false and made for cynical political reasons.
Was dropping the atomic bomb on Japan "genocide"? Was firebombing Dresden "genocide"? We could probably even agree that these were ethically wrong, even perhaps war crimes, but nobody calls them genocide, because they aren't.
- vFunct 1y agoCorrect. The public consensus doesn't call them genocides, while calling other events as genocides. The only people going against the public consensus are this seeking to commit genocide.
