I don’t think so tbh. It is not like “woke” in the sense that the term genocide is very well defined and in cases like Palestine is easily provable. It’s just that in western discourse liberals and left-liberals especially online ignore that and throw it around willy-nilly while parroting literal US state department lines.
It makes sense if you consider that the “international community” has benefited immensely from genocide. But the Western misuse is only a part of its purview even if its significant and the term itself won’t be rendered meaningless by this.
Genocide is a word that is becoming more meaningless with each passing day

99% of people who use the word “genocide” are not aware of the legal definition, and would dismiss it if it disagrees with what they think.
