- dangus 9mo agoGreat, I’m glad your dictionary is happy about deporting 5 year olds. “Uhm aktually it’s not a genocide it’s just a fascist police state” Multiple humanitarian organizations define mass displacement as genocide and/or ethnic cleansing. The holocaust literally started with mass deportations/detentions. Then the nazis figured out that it was easier to kill detainees.
- mhb 9mo agoIf you have some point to make about deporting 5 years olds or whatever, don't you think it would be more persuasive without provoking a tangential discussion about your idiosyncratic definition of genocide regardless of whatever organizations agree with you?
- parineum 9mo ago> Multiple humanitarian organizations define mass displacement as genocide and/or ethnic cleansing. You're mixing two things here to your advantage. Genocide is (or can be) ethnic cleansing but ethnic cleansing is not genocide. So your "and/or" does some work for you there and makes you correct. However, you said genocide not "genocide and/or ethnic cleansing". You've moved the goalposts. It'd be odd to redefine any word that ends in '-cide' from actual killing. > The holocaust literally started with mass deportations/detentions. Which was ethnic cleansing. > Then the nazis figured out that it was easier to kill detainees. Which was the point which it became a genocide.
