So did the Western allies commit a genocide in WW2? The large number of people being Germans that are nazis? You could classify pretty much any war you want as a genocide that way: French that are Monarchists/Imperialists/Republicans, Americans that are Confederates/Unionists etc. Were all of these just committing genocides against each other? With that definition you'd end up with genocide just being synonymous with "war".

Every war has human suffering, it's not sufficient to classify it as a genocide.
Now, when I look at the Iraq war, the goal was to destroy Ba’athist Iraq. By the same definition, wouldn’t that war have been a genocide as well?
The destruction of a particular government does not fall under the definition of genocide, no.
Nein, eben nicht. Weil es vollkommen unmöglich ist, diese in Russland durchzuführen.
Okay, also der Westen ist Schuld und, relevanter, in Russland sind alle glücklich und zufrieden. Wie wir wissen sind autoritäre Systeme ja bekannt für unabhängige und vertrauenswürdige Meinungsumfragen. /s
Doch, genau das steht da wortwörtlich:
Die hohe Wahlbeteiligung und die hohe Zustimmung für Putin sollen Belege dafür sein. Dabei hat der Westen selbst beides herbeigeführt.
Der Deutsche in mir sagt dass die AfD verboten werden muss.
We selectively breed dogs for traits and do not allow their offspring to procreate. I’m sure there are puppy mills that kill the “undesirables” too.
I never denied that. But in the description they conflated it with just talking about genetics affecting a persons/dogs characteristics. There is a difference between acknowledging that and the act of selective breeding to reach certain characteristics. It's not eugenics to say "a person may have a genetic tendency towards 'trait x'", eugenics would be "let's selectively breed people to encourage 'trait x'".
That's why I wrote "can influence" and not "is determined by".
Yes, the Human relationship to animals can often be pretty paradoxical. People may love their dog and maybe even look at it as almost an equal, but don't mind animals with even higher intelligence (pigs) being kept in horrible conditions so they can eat them. Pug owners may think their pet is so cute, but are willing to ignore all the human-caused suffering that pugs have to go through to look like that. Ultimately animals are always treated as less than human, even if people may delude themselves otherwise.
You seem to confuse the concept of Eugenics (selective breeding to improve "genetic quality") with the general idea that genetics can influence things like personality, intelligence etc. The latter is pretty much undisputed. But as Humans are seen as individuals with rights, selectively breeding them like you would dogs is seen as unacceptable.
I've given the demo a go, but unfortunately it has a nauseating amount of stutter. Wouldn't recommend it if the full game is anything like the demo.
The lemmy devs should really focus on proper content deletion tools. It's not just the images, it's very strange and inconsistent overall. When I delete a comment, it's seemingly still visible to many people and collecting up/downvotes even many hours after I deleted it. On the other hand, when a post gets deleted, it's completely gone, to the point that I can't even look up the discussion that I had within that post, just my own comments on my profile.
