I regard both 'Genocide' and 'Massacre' as having specific meanings - both deliberate inhuman acts of mass murder

The dropping of two atomic weapons on two cities full of civilians I regard as 'mass murder' -massacres rather than genocide
I regard the slaughter of peasants by engulfing them in burning petrol massacres......
I regard mismanagement odf economic policies, or ruthless political policies as neither - they are neither genocide or mass murder, rather, they are comparable to wars (just or unjust) to achieve an aim
Both can be reprehensible, depending on their objective
It is noticeable that those who choose to misuse such terms refuse to discuss the objectives of any of these

Robomatic fespays an ignorance of politics of breathtaking proportions - he used the death of people to defend the death of more people
How about facing up to your own country's despotic behavior - you might start with the genocide of native Americans in order to create the mess that is Modern America
