some of these countries have become so good at institutionalizing injustice via their privatized prison systems that this form of ethic cleansing is not even visible any more with the naked eye.

When a large group of your population is unable to financially afford justice that's a form of ethnic cleansing.

Genocide is horrible, but what could possible be more evil? Here is what: masterminding it so that a large group of your population no longer sees it for what it is and would rather point at another country for its concentration camps than solve their issues at home.

> but you don't tend to get ethnic cleansing or organized genocides.

How would you describe the US private prison system, or gitmo if not "organized genocide"?

>gitmo if not "organized genocide"?

There are 39 prisoners in gitmo. In its total lifetime there have been 780 people. 9 died in custody. I wouldn't call that genocide.

AFAIK number of deaths is not relevant if something is or isn't a genocide.

Definition of "genocide":

> the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group

Smallest genocide by death toll(killing of Tasmanian aboriginals by the British) killed just 400 to 1000 people.

That's still a lot more than nine.
