Genocide of Ukraine? Is every war or invasion a genocide? You are definitely watering down the word.

I love the leftists that accuse liberals of denying Israel’s genocide in Gaza (which we don’t) while ignoring Russia genocide of Ukraine and China’s genocide of Uyghurs.

Russia is kidnapping children and re-educating them, which is basically point 5 of article 2 on the definition from the convention on prevention of genocide.
That’s not watering down the term, that’s literally using the word to describe what they’re doing.

Thankfully Ukraine has prevented most of the genociding that Russia wants to do but in the beginning it was pretty bad. Also the amount of drones that hit residential buildings can be classified as an act of genocide.

Is Ukraine also genociding ethnic Russians?

Is Ukraine doing anything on the list of things that would make it a genocide? No, I didn’t think they were. Go suck putin chode somewhere else.

israel is committing genocide against gaza.
russia is the aggressor, and ukraine are defending themsleves against an invasion
agree or disagree?
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.social 2 days ago
Russia is committing genocide against Ukraine.
Israel is committing genocide against Palestines.
China is committing genocide against Uyghurs.
Explain what the difference is if you disagree with that.

Somehow you, as a self-proclaimed liberal, felt accused by leftists, and I was wondering how you got from op’s meme to liberals being accused.

I don’t know what’s more bullshit, the fact that you think actual leftists (not Soviet diehards) deny any genocide, or that the majority of the establishment Democrats (liberals) are on the side of Israel.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.social 2 days ago
Establishment democrats are about three hundred people I’m talking about the eighty million people who vote liberal and who overwhelmingly are against Israel.
I’m not playing your no true scotsman game about ‘actual leftists’ because I see what leftist spaces look like.

Why don’t you get mad at those three hundred people instead of shouting about how much you hate leftists?

No one hates a leftist like another leftist does.

Yes, the common man is more leftist than the current media / government. They don’t want colonialism, and they do want free healthcare, education, etc.
The people who are currently in seats are power are a problem, because they perpetuate this right leaning, corporate owned government, you fuckin canoe.

Do you just say words thinking you understand what they mean?
