Agag posted:The early Islamic conquests were based largely upon conversion and providing a less oppressive governance and taxation system than the Persian and Byzantine empires which it replaces. Modern examples of ethnic cleansing are all fairly dire. Rwanda, Nazi Germany, Armenia. Not only were they failures in that the targeted minorities are still here, the perpetrators are considered the scum of human civilization. There's a shitload of people who don't even acknowledge that the Armenian genocide even happened, dude. Ethnic cleansing works every time. I mean, there's a reason Baghdad suddenly calmed down while we shut our eyes for a couple months.

Hands up anybody here who doesn't acknowledge the Armenian genocide. Somebody buy Erdogan an account.

All we can do is hope the bad guys realize they are being bad and turn slightly less bad and try and punish the worse ones. I think we did a fair heel turn from genocidal cowboys tearing across the continent to hyper rich cowboys occasionally sating our bloodlust in faraway lands.

Successful genocides get forgotten except for the handful relevant/useful to current political division or issue. In 1066, Muslims mobs killed or drove off all the Jews in Grenada in the single largest pre-holocaust jewish pogram in Europe. Yet I get to hear about Tolerant Muslim Spain because it's narratively useful. Any public mourning of the Circassians is directly related to how much someone wants to delegitimize Russia in the Caucasus region. Whose going to bat for Danzig Germans or Kosova Serbs or Assyrians, etc, etc

I'll give you China, but they were more about swamping and out-breeding minority groups. The famines were mostly a result of Mao being dumb as poo poo and drunk all the time when he got older. Not to say that he wouldn't have exterminated every Tibetan if he thought he could have. But he wasn't quite as dumb and drunk as the average online WP guy of today.

For anyone who thinks morality plays a big role in who wins conflicts, Hitler didn't lose because he was a bad guy. He lost because he was a complete moron who thought it would be a good idea to invade Russia during the Winter along with plenty of other blunders. And even when we did beat Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo, we then had to contend with the Soviets for half a century because they did pretty well for themselves in the war.

They failed though. They never got rid of the people they wanted to get rid of. They just killed a bunch and became a disgrace that ended in failure anyway. So the idea that there is going to be a successful genocide against Muslims or whatever group you don't like, and that genocide would make the future better for anybody, is a fantasy for messed up kids on the Internet.

Perhaps, as they kneel in the desert meekly awaiting their turn to die, they will begin to understand the vast moral gulf between potential rudeness and actual violence.
