    Teeeeensy nitpick: there are two definitions of genocide that have ever mattered. Two. Not many. Two.

    Lemkins original, much much broader, definition, And the one you’re familiar with, adopted by the UN because like everyone on the permanent security council thing had an interest in the definition being a little more narrow. Under which the way the Palestinian people are being exterminated absolutely still counts.

    Interestingly, by lemkin’s broader definition, making the shutzstaffel stop killing Palestinians might constitute a genocide of the kapostanis; it would be destroying every trace of their culture, and the means of its reproduction.

      I didn’t say there were plenty “that have ever mattered” so it doesn’t seem like a nitpick towards me.

        I’m sure your high school had its own? Doesn’t count.

        There are plenty of abbreviations. But those aren’t separate content; just condensed versions.

        There are two.

            If Theres ever a genocide against a group I know includes you,I’m going to laugh at it so hard.

            Which is probably going to get me kicked out of a lot of ‘stop the genocide’ stuff.

                Yeah I’m not gonna look totally cracked and it’s gonna be all your fault, I hope it occurs to you to feel bad about making me laugh at such an inappropriate time while you’re starving to death, because it was not a nice thing to do.
