No, it is meant to attack you.

This is like terrorists stealing riot gear from police.

They did.

That doesn't mean they protected you.

Imagine you were the first country to invent a handgun. You also have the idea of making body armor, but you haven't yet because there are no handguns shooting at you.

Then someone steals your handgun. You quickly make body armor. It isn't perfect but it works really well.

Then someone 3 streets over gets shot. Because they weren't aiming at you. You have handguns. And body armor.

They'd rather go after someone exploitable.

Unpopular opinion:

These should be offered to any male present at the birth of his second or greater child. Not available. Not required. Directly offered.

1. Where did you move to?

2. How are you doing now?

No, you're supposed to have one standard for what you're willing to compare to the Holocaust. You appear to have 2 separate standards.

How are you putting Apartheid up there with the Holocaust while skipping over huge genocides like Armenia?

Apartheid is about as apples to apples with residential schools as anything mentioned so far in this thread

Are you deliberately not reading what I wrote?

Let me direct you to anotherof my comments.

Real fast:

If you are unwilling to call something "genocide" unless it was as bad as the literal most egregious example in history, you are bad at the fundamental life skills of defining things and using categories.

The Holocaust is not the criteria set for a genocide. It is not the mark something must pass to qualify as a genocide. It is literally the most brutal example in history.

This is like not calling something black unless it is darker than Vantablack.

You're being a jerk.

This is like someone telling an assault victim, "Well I'm sorry that happened to you, but its not like he put his dick in you. Like you couldn't even get pregnant or anything. He just touched you. I don't even know why we call it sexual assault."

1. Canada has never had the population density of Europe. You'd need to correct for population density to do apples to apples.

2. The schools were one part of a genocidal system which had other parts.

3. The purpose of the schools was to eradicate a culture. Due to many actions (and also some accidents), the native population was already depressed. This wasn't "genocide from scratch." It was finishing the job.

Though many deaths were due to disease which nobody (at first) intentionally spread, make no mistake that there was a genocide across the entire Americas. People came to the Americas and killed, directly or indirectly, millions of its inhabitants. That's genocide.
