theres been a bunch of genocide creep lately. like ok the Holocaust was clearly genocide. or Rwanda. but the term is getting used more broadly I think honestly because of its effectiveness politically. and im not sure thats bad because alot of the cases where its used are awful

also interesting is that people have been shitty in the opposite direction about this in the past, eg the clinton administration acknowledging "acts of genocide" in Rwanda but not "genocide" which is in my mind more quintessentially clintonian than the definition of "is"

maybe we could try to make it clearer but I dont think this is really going to help things in practical terms because reality is n e b u l o u s and the salient cases are all going to be determined by brute politics anyway
