Good, but add Armenian and Gaza genocide denial to the list too. Or make it genocide denial in general.
Armenian and Gaza is fully confirmed, but human rights violations of Xinjiang not so much, it's semantics at that much, like calling the modern Turkish state genocidal for destroying the culture of Kurds in northern Syria, when it was not explicitly to destroy the people itself
Its forced assimulation just like what the US did to the natives of America. If what the US did was genocide (it is), then what PRC is doing to Xinjiang and Tibet is also genocide.
The difference is that the US did actual genocide against the natives of America
No, "cultural genocide" is not genocide. There is a pretty clear legal definition:
.. any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Culture is a part of ethnicity, however.
Fair enough, but the term genocide is far too inclusive, I've heard people use cultural genocide instead.
It should be illegal everywhere. Germany knows how to deal with Nazis (well, unless they're part of a party)
Others were the ones who dealt with Nazis not Germany.
Let's not whitewash the forced compliance of Germany with what was imposed on them by the nations which had to fight them to stop them as some kind of achievement of Germany.
Germany kept most of the Nazis around - not the "upper management" but certainly the "middle management" and below - doing the jobs in the State appartus that they did before.
Probably explains both the rise of the AfD and how still now after Israel has been for over a year fully and unashamedly acting in a way painfully similar to Nazism - just with different ubermenschen and untermenschen (or as Israeli politicians say it, "chosen people" and "human animals") - almost the entirety of the German political class continues to unwaveringly support them, overtly because of the dominant ethnicity of that nation, a purely Racist rationale.
Change from the inside changes mindsets, change imposed from the outside mainly changes the visible expressions of the mindsets rather than the mindsets themselves.
Always trust Finland!
Fucking GOOD.
Hopefully we'll also have laws against denying the holocaust israel is inflicting on palestine TOO.
Whoa. That sort of thinking requires nuance. We don’t do that here.
I fucking love Finland.
I’m so used to bad news I read that as decriminalize
