MODERATORS
I feel like whenever capitalists propagandists cynically use the term genocide no one seems to act like its wrong. When the left uses the term correctly to refer to programs of systemic eradication of people it always gets questioned.
They call Ukraine a genocide and invented one about Uighurs. They even tried ~~inventing~~ appropriating concept of cultural genocide because the Uighur thing couldn't hold up, and people ate it up without question.
The left couldn't even call the concentration camps on the US border concentration camps without libs getting up in arms that it "diminished the real concentration camps" or something like that.
We're the only ones using the terms correctly.
Appropriating maybe, but not inventing - Cultural genocide is a well established concept especially in relation to the forced assimilation of native populations, they just lied about it happening.
You're right. Appropriating is what happened. Edited post to correct this.
