When ruling elites purposely enact policies that they know will harm or kill large swathes of their own populations.

...excess death as a result of bad public policy.[2]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_murder


This term needs to be better-known and understood. It is inconceivable to modern nations that their own government would purposely destroy large numbers of people. The masses need to understand that Trump, Musk and the collaborators are committing social murder against the American people. Need to name it before we can figure out how to stop it.

Historic examples
- Britain passed laws that they knew would worsen starvation in Ireland during the Potato Famine.

- Genocides of Native Americans

- Stalin 's Holomodor in Ukraine when they took all of the food from Europe's breadbasket and left the producers to starve enmasse

- Trump's failure to address Covid

- Dismantling of public health, vaccines, research

- Climate destruction
