    It’s murder for profit, don’t dilute the term genocide. The last thing we need is people calling everything genocide and making the literal genocide in Gaza seem more normal.

      idk, murdering people based on their genetic predisposition to healthy living standards seems more of a literal definition of it.

      I do understand (and agree with) your point though.

        Yeah they’re both horrible and have a lot of interwoven causes (cough kings that don’t think they can die cough) but muddling the language and comparing apples to oranges isn’t useful. It’s adding inflammatory and confusing language to a situation that requires a fair amount of planning, forethought, and targeted action to handle (there’s a reason they’ve kept winning, and there’s a reason an Italian plumber recently hit the news).
