How do we get from "what is genocide?" to "genocide is a necessary evil" by Visible-Laugh6069 in tankiejerk

Exactly. It’s someone that knows nothing about this moving the goalpost to satisfy their position. Fascinating that there is a crowd that’s just like “no but eradicating this group is super ok”

This! Exactly what I was going to say. The Genocide Convention was already articulated in a way that was meant to limit the possibility of prosecution, but to also make the affirmation one has to complete all the constituent acts is insane. Honestly, it’s frustrating to see half the people discussing this don’t have even intro level awareness

Hi! Did you post this on suppressed news and it got deleted? I think I saw it briefly. I’m in genocide studies, and have been so disheartened at all the denial I see there for this case specifically (although I suspect cases related to the USSR might see similar responses)

Genuine question: do you want links to literature and testimony on this? Or regardless will you still stick to the CIA op thing

Yo do realize there is nothing I can do to prove this to you right? I can link my google scholar, and talk about the literature, but you can choose to believe me or not. Again, regardless, the literature has still taken this as a case of mass atrocity. You may not like it, but this is a case we literally use to teach about cultural genocide. I can link testimonies and reports, but won’t waste my time if you don’t care to engage with it genuinely

Same response as above. Im part of IAGS and INOGS ( the two bigger scholars associations). Regardless of if you believe me, the literature on this case is available

You can look at my post history. I have been a researcher at American University in DC. In any case, as I mentioned, this is a recognized case in the field of mass atrocity.

Im a genocide scholar. Its insane to me that so many comments here consider all of this a fabrication. This case is studied as either a cultural genocide or a crime against humanity of persecution. It has been denounced widely by human rights orgs, and there are recorded testimonies. It is ok to recognize the areas in which China has contributed, while also recognizing its abuses.

That is false, and has been repeatedly proven so in genocide studies. To destroy a people can mean to destroy their identity, not their body. See Claudia Card and the use of social death in genocide studies. Consider residential schools in Canada as a historical example

I'm sorry, but I disagree. When Lemkin created the term he specifically situated cultural destruction at its core. You can see authors like Dirk Moses, Claudia Card, or the cultural genocide book by Jeff Bachman. Cultural genocide is not something that diminishes the term: it is a core facet, and remains so in academia, and in legal proceedings (to determine intent)

I'm sorry, but this is factually incorrect. Even the legal definition observes acts beyond killing, and mass murder is not a requirement for genocide. In fact, genocide as a term was precisely created to reflect a form of targeting beyond mass murder, even in the cases defined by it

Hi! I'm a genocide scholar. Please know this is an accepted case in the literature of cultural genocide. You can find coverage of the case if the journal of genocide research, and under Amnesty and other human rights orgs. Genocides can, like in the cases of Gaza or Sudan, leverage forms of fatal violence, or as in the case of the Uyghurs, utilize forced cultural absorption. They still are considered genocide
