Which human idea do you considered to be the most travesty that humanity has ever thought of?

[FinalFantasyBro]

I mean seriously why did humanity has to be so cruel back in the day and unfortunately stuff like these still going on.

Genocide

Slavery

Human Trafficking

Racism, Sexism, and Homophobia

Terrorist

Human Torture Devices

[anylolone]

Neither, totalitarianism.

All of the above still allow people to speak against it.

The living can still speak against the genocidal.
The free can speak against slavery.
The free can speak against human traffiquing.
The ubermensch can speak against prejudice
The distant can speak against terrorism.
And everyone can speak against torture.

You can speak out about totalitarianism if you don't mind being tortured and murdered.

[anylolone]

@EnglishEuropean But you can't torture or murder everybody.
The free and living can still speak against it.

12,000 different religions and thousands of gods

[NathanDavis]

most of these atrocities if not all... can find some rooting in religion indeed

[FinalFantasyBro]

I definitely understand that religion has a huge part of these crime to humanity.

[Cherry234]

I'd say human torture devices. They're really terrible. Things like slavery, genocide, and terrorism are really bad but in my opinion nothing is worse than torturing people

[LukeLugh]

Under communism you get all of the above, but if I had to pick one, then human torture devices would be the worst. You can escape the rest in one piece.

All of these things are aspects of human nature but I guess genocide is the most offensive. And 'harsh language' in D is the least offensive.

[rcljr]

islam is the number one scourge, followed by christianity, liberalism and abortion

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Human Trafficking is the worst.

[ChrisMaster69]

Religion

[zagor]

Except for the fact that most of the worst regimes of the 20th Century were not religious.

[ChrisMaster69]

@zagor but were against a religion.

Also you question is EVER

[zagor]

If you are referring to Nazi Germany, Judaism really wasn't the target. Jews who had converted or were atheists were treated the same as the orthodox.

[ChrisMaster69]

@zagor yes but Germany is a very religious country

[zagor]

Was. But the Nazi's were not. They wanted to replace existing religion with a kind of Teutonic cult.

[ChrisMaster69]

@zagor okay let’s not get bogged down by one period

It’s ever,

Religion pretty much globally is the biggest travesty ever, either directly or indirectly.

The wars in Europe for over a 1000 years were on the whole religiously motivated or where between two sides of religion.

Deffs a tie between genocide and torture devices

[Anonymous]

They are all as deplorable as Hillary Clinton
