Some People are afraid of the truth which is democide.

Democide is the intentional killing of people by a government, including genocide, politicide, and mass murder. It can also include any other action by a government that is designed to kill people, even if it's not the primary intent.

Democide can include:

War-related killings: If military forces kill people in violation of international agreements, even if the parties to the agreement are not signatories

Politicide: When a government kills people for political reasons

Mass murder: When a government kills people indiscriminately

Genocide: When a government kills people based on their group membership, such as race, ethnicity, religion, or language

Democide is not limited to the killing of entire cultural groups, but can also include the killing of groups within a country that the government believes need to be eliminated.

Some examples of democide include: Japanese soldiers burying Chinese civilians alive, German soldiers shooting hostages, Communist cadre starving Ukrainians to death, and American airmen fire-bombing Japanese civilians
