    It looks like the closest thing the US is genociding is temporarily separating children from parents to ensure they’re actually parents and not traffickers and to confirm their history.

    Here’s more for those wondering. It doesn’t meet genocide definitions. It received major lashback when they did. A federal judge halted it.

      It does meet the UNs definition of genocide.

      Article II

      In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

      1. Killing members of the group;
      2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
      3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
      4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
      5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

        They’re guilty of number 4 as well, there’s been multiple reports of immigrant women being sterilized against their will

        They’re not transferring kids to indoctrinate them though. It’s bullshit they’re doing it but it’s not genocide.

          The definition says nothing about indoctrination.

            That’s the only way to remove their culture though… unless you kill them. Separation is not genocide, and is why no legit sources have called the USA out on it

      What’s changed between when genocide was uncovered and now? What makes biden’s policy less genocidal than trump’s? Or have you always been a genocide denier, even when the concentration camps and their conditions first saw a bunch of coverage?

        I just root my understanding in reality and verifiable sauce. Like I did while nobody else followed suit.
