Definitions

  1. Advocacy of, or a policy of, elimination (of a certain race of people, etc.).

    • Eliminationism is often voiced as crude “jokes,” a sense of humor inevitably predicated on venomous hatred. And such rhetoric—we know as surely as we know that night follows day—eventually begets action, with inevitably tragic results.
