Yes.

But not when the US government’s favored groups do it. Ukraine, Israel, whoever is fighting the Syrian government.

Only if you’re a Russian government official trying to find safe housing outside of a war zone for orphans.

At this point it’s best just to be clear about what’s actually happening and explain why it’s bad. “Genocide” is thrown around for everything.

If it is enforced with violence, including killing parts of the population that resist deportation, then certainly.

Every single week on this website I learn about some new atrocity committed by a Western nation that has just been hidden away in the back of a closet, never spoken of before. Every fucking week.

Ethnic cleansing is its own category of crime against humanity. There is no legal hierarchy for crimes against humanity. As far as international law is concerned, ethnic cleansing is just as bad as genocide.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
