Read "a fate worse than death" relocations and reservations were the nicest possible solution, the alternatives would have all been variations of genocide.

They did get genocided. Unironically. Not like Israel's modern day genocide-lite "oh we're murdering thousands of your children" but actually entire peoples and cultures were wiped off the map.

If you don't count what happened to indigenous people in America I don't know how you could ever count anything as genocide. In your mind, has there ever been a genocide?

I think, at least from a normo perspective, there :marseycheerup: has do be a religious :marseyjesus2: or political :marseymemeball: spark for genocide :marseyeren: to be a thing. Otherwise it's just a massacre. Kinda like how if I yell the n word before :marseyskellington: shooting :marseyjamesholmes: it becomes a hate crime

There was for sure a religious/political drive for forced conversion They would take native kids away from their families, and force them to abandon their own language, religion and culture. And this was in the more "enlightened" 20th century once they'd stopped just flat-out killing them.

Why do you qualify a loss of culture/language/etc a genocide? Doesn't that make genocide :marseyrake: quite the nebulous concept vs a hard and fast concept? I'm asking in good faith btw

Plenty, but letting people assimilate while tard wrangling those who can't or won't is hardly genocide. Slaveowning, torture, raids, and r*pe aren't valid cultural norms and the entire American civil war was centered around the first. The impetus for conflicts between America and the various tribes of American Indian are the all on that list.

No it's not genocide if you don't kill the generation. If you expand a word that has a clear definition until it's so broad that there are thousands cooccuring and some that have been going on for many many generations, all thats left for you to do is put on your clown makeup.
