    Yeah, but man made famines still aren’t okay, even if you don’t intent to destroy a people.

      Would you consider the frequent man-made famines in ireland in the 19th century, including the very famous great famine, an example of ‘genocide’ or mass murder?

        That’s why we should steer away from authoritarianism, which is what these communities want.
