Do you think the fentanyl crisis that has been harming America represents intentional genocide? It seems like a fair question to ask.
The simple definition of genocide from Oxford Languages is:
"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."
I think +100,000 a year constitutes a large number of people. The rates also continue to rise. We know where the stuff is coming from and we know securing the borders would put a stop to much of it. Thus far, it doesn't look like the Biden administration has any plans to attempt to reverse the growing problem.
It's just drug addicts being drug addicts. If the argument is that many times these addicts don't know what they're taking, then that argument falls flat, because there has always been a Russian Roulette aspect to taking street drugs. Also, it is unfortunate when someone with an addictive personality gets prescribed these drugs, yet, that still doesn't make it genocide though.
I've also seen that the claims that handling the drug can cause immediate overdoses, have been grossly exaggerated.

What an odd question. Yes, the Sackler family did their very best to kill off all working class white males. When the Sacklers failed, they turned the project over to the Chinese who seem to be doing a pretty good job. Why do you ask, anyway?

It's not just drug addicts. A woman I know just lost her adult daughter, who was smoking pot that was unknowingly laced with fentanyl. Now, I dont smoke pot, so I'd never given it much thought, but I didnt realize pot could even be laced with fentanyl. Since learning this, I've been trying to spread the word that even smoking pot carries the risk of death, thanks to China's efforts to get fentanyl into our country through our southern border.
I'm not sure fentanyl deaths fit the definition of genocide, but I have no doubt it is large-scale, intentional killing of Americans by the Chinese.
The real characterization is what is known as "asymmetrical warfare" on the part of the CCP.
Fentanyl is sourced from China, shipped to Mexico, and transported across our porous open border (thanks Brandon!) with the purpose to kill US youth. The intent is to inflict as much harm as possible to reduce the numbers from the younger population that could augment the US standing military. It is also intended to undermine the fabric of society and cause discord from within and make us divert more resources for treating fentanyl overdoses at the expense of national defense.
This is just one prong of the asymmetrical strategy.

I already said that there is a Russian Roulette aspect when using drugs. Pot is a drug, you know that, right?

What are you talking about? Did you bother to read the definition of the word genocide? Not everything revolves around race, like the narrative spin masters on the television want you to believe.
Let's try this one more time... Here is the definition of the word "genocide". Read it a couple times over, just to make sure you got it... Then try again.
"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."
Notice the word "nation"... I can underline the word for you if that's what it takes.
