Agitators do it because they think they're meeting the official UN definition (which has plenty of wiggle room for the dishonest)...

YOU don't want to see forced assimilation as a crime, but you don't get to decide for other people actually.

I don't want to see forced assimilation as a crime ON THE SAME PLANE AS MURDER. And nor, I suspect, do most English speakers.

If you really WANT a word that elides the distinction between mass killing and intermarriage, I can't stop you. But it's a bad move.

Genocide is about intentional cultural obliteration. Don’t do it.

Well, here's my issue: IF genocide is about "intentional cultural obliteration", it's not necessarily a bad thing.

Replying to @arthur_affect @HenryTarquin and
even if you don't believe "cultural obliteration" absent mass murder is a bad thing in itself, it says a lot that people who favor it have an exceptional track record of deciding that mass murder is a great way to achieve their goals

Because that's the final solution, when you decide some people have less value than others. Deny those people resources, deny them access to societal supports, and if they refuse to die then speed it along.

Then when that doesn't happen, they get mad This is exactly how Martin Luther went from seeing himself as a great friend and protector to the Jews to crying out for them to be driven from their homes by a wave of fire when none of them became Lutherans

also this dude is denying genocide happened to Native Americans in the killing-people sense which, uh, is very, not, much, with the true, in the slightest?
