brain_in_a_box did a great job explaining about the source, about how it was not chosen for being a good source. Rather is is “reliable in the mainsteam” (read: virulently racist fascist state department drivel) and is still walking back the claim of genocide (since none is occurring).

I will try not to waste your time, since you said you were low on time, but I want to talk about genocide claims for a second. A genocide is a very serious concept, it is a word reserved for the most atrocious acts of extermination like the holocaust. Calling something a genocide when it isn’t one is therefore anti-Semitic (this is brought up in the Foreign Policy article I linked) along with being deeply disrespectful to other peoples who have suffered through a genocide. Of course, the American government and the press it uses as mouthpieces do not care about this disrespect. You should though. I encourage you not to believe anything you read in the news, especially unverified claims of genocide without significant evidence. This is true for any given article, the info you are reading is manipulated, and “reliable” sources are actually lies designed to make you support war, racism, police murder, and other crimes against people.
