BOSNIA

Stalin famously said, “The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of a million is a statistic.”

We see it here. People aren't willing to say that one genocide is worse than the other, even though one genocide in the last here has about than twice the victims of all the rest put together. But who cares, right? They're not people, there just numbers...

i mean we've got armenia, ww2 from nazi germany and japan, rwanda, china - it's pretty sad that there'll never be a right answer to this because genocide still continues now

[strateguy632]

but were they the same loss of lives?

[strateguy632]

darfur tragedy around 200,000 so that would make the nazi genocide much worse, 30 times worse... unless nobody values jews?

[strateguy632]

i first read about cambodia in a g. i. joe comic in 1980's. yoday i reviewed, and saw on one hand it was a huge mass murder tragedy, great tragedy, but that was not targeting a specific ethnic group. so that tragedy differs from genocide. it only helps to recognize and comprehend the greater severity worse than that, more mass murder targeting the specific ethnicity jew by nazis.

They were all equally bad for the people who were murdered.

[liel443]

If 10 people are murdered, is it as bad as 10,000?

[strateguy632]

if you feel forty sudanese only have the value of one bosnian... then you can say equal.

[Smashingdoozy]

Why are we ranking genocides? That's fucked up.

[strateguy632]

maybe because more victims in some than others... unless some ethnicities have less value than others?

China’s Great Leap Forward...

[strateguy632]

which ethnic group did that target? many random deaths, tragedy but differ from TARGETING an ethnic group.

[rigmarole]

@strateguy632 Genocides don't need to target an ethnicity. Learn the meaning of the word... While ethnic groups can be a target, so to can a race, a group of nationals, or even a political group. You know, like the proletariat. Sure they needed them to take power in the beginning, but once the communist party elites had power, they didn't want repeating cycles of revolution so they just starved and worked them into submission or into the grave. That's how socialism always works. It's a tool to establish a dictatorship and enslavement of a population.
