Re: I'm still trying to wrap my head around

AYRT

That's an implausible hypothetical, though, which is part of the point: the only way to carve out an exception for genocide is to imagine scenarios that will never happen in the real world.

It's also worth noting that every group that commits genocide tells themselves they're doing it to defend their people. They believe it's in self-defense, which points to an inherent danger in making that the line between acceptable and unacceptable genocide.

Also, there are no races of people. Humanity is one race.

"What we imagine to be real is real in its consequences."

Yes, on the genetic level, there aren't enough differences between us to say that there are truly separate races. That doesn't change the fact that we organize ourselves into groups with different physical features and backgrounds, some of which we call races, others that we call ethnicities. It certainly doesn't make racism suddenly vanish.

OK, look. You're the one who wanted to "wrap your head around" arguing that a horrible act is not always wrong. There are no absolutes in the human mind. Things we never thought someone would do are regularly done now that there are 8+ billion of us. The point is that there will always be a way where the horrible thing that is "always wrong" will occasionally be the best choice of a situation. We have some weird-assed serial killers out there, and weird shit happens all the time. Moral absolutism does not work in the real world, cause it's freaky as shit out here.

I don't give a shit about some quote. Calling groups of humans "races" is some KKK shit. Genocides are about killing peoples and cultures, not races.

Race is literally one of the groups identified under the definition of genocide.
