thread_title:  Post-Revolutionary Purge? 

message: The United States has never been a position where purges were called for -- Really? what do you call the obliteration of native americans, then? Is this not a purge because native americans were not considered human beings, or at least not members of the community, or why doesn't it count? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.217.150.34 (talk) 20:50, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The latter reason. A purge involves ridding a society of its "undesirables." Amerindians belonged to nations and societies separate from the U.S. and were killed or displaced as part of an invading nation's military campaigns to seize the land for its settlers. "Ethnic cleansing" would be a better descriptor, as the treatment was applied to the indigenous in general, even those like the Cherokee who tried to integrate, not just troublesome individuals. Although many tribes are still technically separate nations, a modern-day operation might come closer to the definition of a purge since their members are full U.S. citizens. However, purges are usually conducted towards people considered a threat, and Amerindians are our most disempowered ethnic group(s) by most measures. 128.255.157.250 22:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

text: War and genocide is not "purge". Purge is when a society turns hostile onto itself, onto some of its member, generally for ideological-political reasons. It often involves elites and cleaning up of the establishment. Amerindians genocide is not a purge. Yug (talk) 14:38, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

I edit mainly on turkey Purges, but I see similar patterns in Hongkong right now, at a smaller scale but still decisive pace. China is doing some kind of surgical purges via security laws, SLAPP, arrests, forced disappearances against key activists, protesters, intellectuals, publishers, and representatives.
