      And there’s definitely a larger one.

      Let’s not try to compete over which genocide is better than the other. That’s a silly game.

        No one said it’s better, but casualties and occupation time are pretty indisputable and if you think both of those are genocides, one is happening a lot faster. That’s why Russia ends up looking ‘humane’ in comparison. All genocides are horrible, not all genocides are equally impactful and I don’t think it really helps anyone to ignore that, at the very least not when the two in question are ongoing.

          500,000 people in Gaza compared to 43.5 million in Ukraine.

          If both these acts are allowed to be carried out to their full, the speed is irrelevant and the most impactful would certainly not be Gaza.

          Russia only looks ‘humane’ if you’re a fucking idiot.
