I wonder what happens to these people when Trump is no longer running for president? Maybe he wins, maybe he loses, maybe he retires, maybe his age or diet actually catch up with him. What does the #resistance do with their lives after that? Because I doubt it’s “fight for universal health care, economic justice, the liberation of prison slaves, an end to the Gaza genocide, and the environment”. Libs never really cared about any of those things, they were just a convenient vehicle for their next capitalist shill who’s totally not worse than the republican.

Strong agree, especially after watching this.

Hard to say, I suspect people decide on a case by case basis, though I myself often hear the term genocide used after the group targeted or the location. The genocide in Germany and its occupied territories during World War II was uniquely historically bad to warrant its own terminology (hence “Holocaust” in many instances).

Most genocides actually don’t have as high a percentage of people killed as the Holocaust did, the Armenian and Greek genocides by Turkey during WW1 are actually more historically representative in that significantly more of the population are displaced, assaulted, and/or culturally destroyed than outright killed. The Holocaust combined the typical traits of genocide with a truly monstrous murder-industrial complex.

This is also why the Gaza genocide is particularly worrying, because unlike many other historical genocides (and none are acceptable), the people of Gaza are boxed in to a very small space, told to migrate to different parts of it, and then attacked in the places they move to. There is no escape for them, and this situation was entirely manufactured by Israel. Whatever the official death toll is at this moment, the real death toll might never be known and is likely significantly higher.

It’s almost like complicity in a genocide might potentially be unpopular in some segments of the American public. Crazy.

Sounds like something a dog-faced pony soldier would say, pal!
