⚠️Disclaimer! I am not a denier or even questioner of any genocides I'm aware of!⚠️ I swear to fuck I am genuinely asking this question because I don't know the answer, and using a search engine for something like this is only going to yield crackpot denier misinformation.

I have used the argument in the past, "If given all available evidence you're still not sure a genocide is happening, you can probably safely assume that it is, because humans just constantly do genocide."

And I wanted to be prepared in case whoever I'm debating says something like "well in 19XX, group A accused group B of genocide and it turns out group A was just lying to make group B look bad!"

Basically, would they be full of shit, or have humans been proven to have sunk that low too? :/

    You're welcome, but I was mistaken. Black legend is just referring to when the Spanish did it to Americans. The acutel term is called Casus Belli as seen in another commenter's Wikipedia link to Putin's claims about the Donbas region
