Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia

Missing important data.

Which participants, if any, were white?

Even if murdered, they committed genocide.

If all participants were brown this was a no-fault drowning.

"Genocide is the deliberate destruction of physical life of individual human beings by reason of their membership of any human collectivity as such." (The Crime of State, Volume 2, Leiden, 1959, p. 125.)

lets definitely do this and seriously talk about killing a dozen people in terms we'd use for the systematic removal of an ethnic group from a given area. not while smoking weed, though. that is a bridge too far.

Disagree. Targeting people because of their membership in a group, e.g. religion, is textbook genocide. This is different from Srebrenica in degree, not kind.

You might as well have had posted this thread by just asking, "what is the definition of genocide?"

I would say no, as genocide is generally taken to mean large groups of people, at least larger than 12. Genocide is also arguably systematic.

First sensible response. To counter: reasonable people could argue that this particular massacre is part of a systematic effort.

theimmigrant: i still really like your restaurant tipping thread because in the context of this forum it really neatly highlit the needs of changing an economic system while also recognizing that economic systems become economic systems because it allows for systems to be worked through and won over. it is probably the best tipping debate shitshow i've read on the internet. and i mean that in a bad way. but i also mean it honestly and earnestly. you polished a turd with class warfare and that's pretty funny.

this thread is stupid though.

Nope. Not unless you want to have a dumb, unworkable version of genocide just so you can score a cheap political point... oh.

If only that boat had capsized like most of the refugee boats coming from Africa and Turkey do, killing everyone on board instead of just 15 people, we could continue to sleep well at night. :sigh:

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.
