Had a discussion with my wife about what was the bigger tragedy. The Holocaust or slavery of black people. We disagreed.
What are your thoughts?
Discussion
Y’all disagreed on what 🤷🏽♂️
Great Chinese Famine was estimated 15-55 million people.
Having a government control food supply will do that to a population.
Holocaust. Germany here. We are still number 1 in terms of super-brutal mass extermination of people.
We've thrown babies alive into the burning furnace and a thousand other atrocities.
We are responsible that this world has nuclear bombs. And we are shocked that some soldiers / people use our old symbols to underline their own brutality.
I am sorry, we were the most brutal in history not the Americans. Americans are far far away from that.
I’m Austrian. Maybe we think that the Holocaust was worse because we grew up where it happened and our people were responsible for it. It was the systematic extermination of a race. It was an organised death machinery.
I mean, Mao's China & the USSR were pretty horribly brutal too & the numbers were bigger. Gulag Archipelago is one hell of a read (abridged is much easier to follow).
