Worst part is it's generic statement. So whoever fined him is just generally pro genocide.

You think if he had something like "stop pedophile" they'd probably find him to for being anti american govt.

Historically speaking, genocide has usually been very profitable and popular. Just ask native Americans, if you want to know more about the motivations and economic impact.

This is the part that's weird. I have no clue which genocide it even refers to. There are multiple I can think of.

Could be anything from Palestine to Uyghurs to even some weird white supremacist conspiracy theory of white genocide. It's generic enough that it can't really even be called political at this point.
