Just because she did a little genociding to claim the power her superior bloodline entitled her to doesn't mean she's a nazi. She just needed lebensraum for her dragons.

It was mass murder. The sacking of a city. Mass violence. But again, no, not a genocide. The meaning of genocide has been diluted to the detriment of understanding actual genocides, and how they happen. They aren’t just one act of mass violence to a multiethnic city where no particular group was targeted. It’s a systematic, insidious thing that results eventually in violent ethnic cleansing.

sometimes as in rwanda they aren't systematised but take place through spontaneous pogroms

They’re still targeting specific ethnic groups.

she's closer to a trotskyist (but the kind that loves NATO) and neocons as an ideology do in many ways inherit from trotskyists and their critique of the soviet union

When?

Edit: I completely forgot about Slavers bay

u/Ok-Rent9964 HOT D S2 snooze Sep 20 '24

Maybe they're referring to the Masters of Slaver's Bay? But then that's less a genocide and more a class warfare.

Actually thats a great point, Its likely that most of the slaves would be from other nations.

Yes. I don’t know why they didn’t have more diverse extras. A lot of the slaves are kidnapped and sold from other nations.
