Wow lol. Just have to be 100% right don't you.

TL;DR.

Article 2 Subsection E: (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Wow lol. Just have to be 100% right don't you.

-_-

I'm glad you know more than international lawyers who specialize in war crimes.

I'm glad you're watering down geopolitical atrocities as some political gotcha instead of trying to understand the truth beyond propaganda sound bytes.

I'm not saying any of that lmao.

That's literally one of the aspects of genocide as defined by the International Court of the Hague, lol.

Jesus, man. Smoke a joint or learn how to communicate better.

That can be an element of genocide, but you need more, otherwise we could say that putting kids into foster care is a type of genocide, which is silly.

We do and did to native Americans.

Not silly.

But that just proves my point that it has to be more than just putting kids into foster care. You wouldn't claim that we're guilty of genocide every time we take a white kid away from their drug-addicted criminal family. There has to be more to it as you yourself have just tacitly acknowledged. It has to be systemic and part of a much larger pattern, just as was the very program vis Native Americans that you mention.

Again, the case remains; simply removing kids from their families is not necessarily grounds for charges of genocide. We need more.

What about this do you not understand?

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices 1 points 9 months ago

What about the real world events you're arguing about not being related do you not understand?

Do you think there was a single white kid in a cage?

Fuck you're retarded. 🤦🤡
