> mass human displacement campaign (a.k.a. Genocide)

The systematic and widespread extermination or attempted extermination of a national, racial, religious, or ethnic group. The systematic killing of a racial or cultural group.
Great, I’m glad your dictionary is happy about deporting 5 year olds.
“Uhm aktually it’s not a genocide it’s just a fascist police state”
Multiple humanitarian organizations define mass displacement as genocide and/or ethnic cleansing.
The holocaust literally started with mass deportations/detentions. Then the nazis figured out that it was easier to kill detainees.
If you have some point to make about deporting 5 years olds or whatever, don't you think it would be more persuasive without provoking a tangential discussion about your idiosyncratic definition of genocide regardless of whatever organizations agree with you?
> Multiple humanitarian organizations define mass displacement as genocide and/or ethnic cleansing.
You're mixing two things here to your advantage. Genocide is (or can be) ethnic cleansing but ethnic cleansing is not genocide. So your "and/or" does some work for you there and makes you correct. However, you said genocide not "genocide and/or ethnic cleansing". You've moved the goalposts.
It'd be odd to redefine any word that ends in '-cide' from actual killing.
> The holocaust literally started with mass deportations/detentions.
Which was ethnic cleansing.
> Then the nazis figured out that it was easier to kill detainees.
Which was the point which it became a genocide.
