    Yeah killing millions of people was totally worth getting one man!

    Now let’s bomb Washington DC to rubble and kill your family so we can get to Bush, the even bigger war criminal.

        Nah you just pearl clutched when we called Western Powers bad names.

        I’m loosely in favor of restricting the use of the word genocide to when it’s definitionally appropriate myself, but that’s in the context of effective communication and clarity. So long as “genocide” is going to be used exclusively to refer to US State Department desginated enemies only, then it’s perfectly reasonable to liken the US/France/UK’s horrific foreign interventions genocide as well. Western interventions, both formal and clandestine, have killed many more than anyone else those imperialist fucks have accused of the word, so in the interest of showing just how absurd their usage is yes, we should and can call Western powers genocidal too.
