It counts for sure. It’s just different to call current US genocidial in comparison to stating that US has committed genocide. Kinda like germany is not a genocidial country, but 80 years ago it was. The government now isn’t the same that committed the atrocities.
I’m probably off topic, but in left leaning communities I see a lot of references to the US as a genocidial regime. My above explanation should clear up somewhat why I feel that it’s a bit far fetched. Eg. the current state of things in the US doesn’t count as one IMO.
We have a government that spends billions of dollars on the military industrial complex with what amounts to no opposition politically. Having spent that money we then go on to justify the weapons being deployed around the world.
If Isreal is a genocidal country, how is America not for enabling Isreal? There is no distinction in my mind. It’s the same capitalist interests at play.
So because the genocide the US did was in the past it doesn’t count?
