I’m not sure I’d go that far. In his video about Argentina and Racism, he pretty clearly states that the subsequent rulers of Argentina since its independence were European liberals based on Buenos Aires, who consistently commited ethnic cleansing against the indigenous people. He goes on to link their ideological liberalism to the ideology of US manifest destiny.
I think claiming he’s a LatAm genocide denialist is a little too far of a claim.
I’ve seen him on Twitter saying that it wasn’t a genocide, but he keeps either deleting his tweets or his Twitter accounts keep getting banned so it’s hard to tell.
He also said the same about Chile and Argentina.
That Chile and Argentina never had genocide against the Indigenous.

Absolutely.
