    He said “by your definition this would not be considered one” (which it is).

    He’s not doing anything related to whataboutism, you clearly don’t know what it means. He’s presenting an argument for the definition and common usage of the word genocide. Try to follow

        What about Lemmy users too. Or what about the word redditor? I don’t like that word obviously. But really what about the word stricken cuz that triggers me

      I’m not in agreement with that either. I don’t agree that native Americans were involved in a genocide. I would imagine most people would agree with that. It’s a whatabout to me because it’s not even in a similar circumstance. If you look at actual examples of genocide it doesn’t look like native America or Gaza.
