They’re fucking passive. They should directly implicate the US. Instead of “We are on unceded land of the Salish people” we should say “The US government stole this land from the Salish people and genocided their tribe”

I wish people would stop unironically saying “genocided” or “doing a genocide”
Verbing weirds language.
‘Genocide’ seems to be one of those words that will eventually verb its way to new usage in common language.
Eh, the meaning is clear, and it’s not diluted. Language is a tool not a rule
what’s the correct term to use?
committed genocide
When people say “X were genocided” they mean the victims of genocide, not the perpetrators. What’s a word to describe the state of having genocide done to your people?
