I agree with defending Ukraine but isn't the point of "never again" is to not have another war?
No, it is specifically about not having another genocide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_again
Heads up before anybody else engages this guy: he's a troll who spends his time either picking fights or deflecting fights he's losing. Not worth your time
Let's not water down the gravity of genocide. Hitting people with stray bullets is terrible but it's a whole other level of fucked up when you round them all up and cut their limbs off with machetes because of their name or customs.
Rwanda?
Yup. Although I'm pretty sure garden tools have been used for ethnic purposes elsewhere, too.
I don't think the Nazis had any reason to resort to that at any point, though.
As far as I have read, they didn't. Or at least they didn't record it.
Yeah, it's not impossible, they were pretty flexible about accomplishing their "work" on the Eastern front, but if you're in Einsatzgruppen and you have plenty of issued bullets, why would you break your back with chopping? And I'm not even sure machetes found much use in the area. Maybe I'm overlooking some regional thing but usually I picture Europeans using axes, saws and hinged shears.
