Here is a case study from Greece in the ‘20’s, but all you need to do is google ‘ethnic cleansing’ and dig in, and you’ll see government data sources (including census data) all played a part.

“The census was conducted in a period of successive wars and rapid territorial expansion. We focus on the handling of the census data for Macedonia, a newly annexed territory that would soon become the site of the first instance of large-scale ethnic cleansing in modern Europe.”
- mthoms 4mo agoIn the original comment, you used the present tense. I think that's what was being questioned.
- lazide 4mo agoAs I said, look around. China has been (and still is) doing it today with Uighurs. It’s not a new behavior.
- mthoms 4mo agoOf course. But the specific claim you made was about many countries currently using census data to "round up and murder" some "specific groups of people by religion, ethnicity, etc." I'm not arguing that you don't a valid point - broadly speaking. You do. But you made a very specific claim, and that was what was being questioned. That's all.
- lazide 4mo agoReading is fundamental. I made no such claim. I said many were using it to target people (which they are), and some are even using it to murder people using that data. Which they are. Or do you think that is actually not happening right now?

- mthoms 4mo ago>Many countries use census data to target (or even round up and murder) specific groups of people by religion, ethnicity, etc. You were asked to back up this claim but haven't cited an example of any country currently "using census data" to "round up and murder" people. Is China currently using census data to do horrible things? Are other countries? Maybe. I have no idea. I wouldn't be all that surprised TBH. You may be correct for all I know. But that's not the point... The point is that you made a very specific claim and you still haven't provided any specific examples or evidence.
- lazide 4mo agoLol, yet there is the evidence right in the thread. Talk about obtuse. You even admit you aren’t even looking into them. What’s the point?
