That's not what I'm saying. Genocide clearly exists, but the word genocide has been so degraded by unjustified utterances by leftists (yes just leftists) that many people no longer understand the meaning of the word.
That includes yourself. None of the events cited here (except arguably the Holodomor) constitute a genocide. The Holodomor is the closest, which could be considered a partial genocide as there was no intent to eradicate the ethnic Ukrainian population, but to cripple them. Which again is close but not complete so it's debatable whether it can be considered a true genocide. Compare this to true genocides such as the Holocaust, the destruction of Carthage, the Rwandan attempted complete genocide of the Tutsis, the destruction of Jerusalem and later the destruction of Bar Kohkba's kingdom, genocides committed by the Mongols, and numerous genocides in Africa that no one documented and countless ethnic peoples that were completely wiped out
Yes, it has been degraded but not only by "leftists". Remember the "Great Replacement" ?

Genocide has several definitions and parameters: Things can tend more or less to a genocide.
A Ruscist military agression like the one in Ukraine concatenate several of these parameters, up to 4/5 already but technically it can be rejected as a pure old good old school genocide.
You have very serious experts who pointed out the genocidal aspect of the ruscist military agression, i posted source recently about it.
No one tried to criticize it, your guys are ignoring it, on the other hand when you have a safe space you cope on "fake genocide" What ruscism represents is serious, what the CCP did to these chinese muslims is serious.
