It'll be worth it if the backlash is what brings about an end to "genocide inflation". Seriously, just because you don't like something, or even if it's really bad, doesn't make it genocide.

The broad definition is from the 1948 United Nations Convention:

Especially this one can be applied to many things:
c. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.
> intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group
In this situation, it's specifically about farmers(large scale private landowners). The nature of them being targeted isn't purely because they're white, but that they hold 3/4 of the privately owned land in SA and likely wield that privilege and power.
Oh sure, my comment was addressing the general issue of perceived "genocide inflation". I have no knowledge about SA.
It makes me morbidly curious what other 'fake genocides' you see as part of this epidemic of mislabeling ...
You don't want to open the hatch on that one, my friend, you won't like what you'll see in the zeitgeist right now.
