Brilliant!

I definitely think it’s harmful. I definitely think force and physical harm, and likely some murders would be required to actually remove them. What is being proposed is awful there’s no doubt about that.

But I cannot equate “mental harm” with “genocide”. You’re redefining an incredibly triggering word just so you can use it to attack an enemy. However redefining it is dangerous because it minimises the words true impact. You’re now, in effect, saying that Hitler “upset a few Jews” rather than he committed mass murder. You’re applying genocide to a bunch of places where it only really serves to make the word redundant.

If you read the page you linked it explicitly says:

Cultural destruction does not suffice, nor does an intention to simply disperse a group

Trump literally won an election off the back of promising to tackle this and Biden is “yeah fuck your democracy”.
