Unpopular Opinion Contest

>ITT we post our least popular opinions

Post an unpopular opinion ITT. Whichever comment is most unpopular gets 1000 MBux.

If you agree with an opinion, upmarsey it. If you disagree, downmarsey it. I'll make a poll with the top few options, then whoever wins that poll will be the winner.

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

In my mind genocide is the killing of a people or culture. It doesn't mean they exterminate every last living member, but they are eliminated as a polity.

To the extent that any of the native tribes are living peoples today, it's because the settlers failed or thought better and changed their minds, but for a long time the goal was to "civilize" the natives and eliminate their own culture.

This is why the Deaf community regards cures for deafness a genocide, because they have their own language and if people aren't deaf they won't use it.
