You're talking about the mass murder of easily 20 million people.

No, I mean the slaughter of millions of innocent civilians.

So are you saying that someone deliberately killed thousands of people? Or what?

I though the same thing until 9/11.

The 3,000 people killed were 20% of the 16,000 murders that year. It was by far the biggest mass murder in US history. Next biggest was 44 in the 1927 Bath School disaster.

And of course terrorism is a much bigger problem in some countries.

There's a very real chance that over 200 people were murdered in a single event - if that's not newsworthy anymore then that's a pretty fucking sad indictment of the state of the world.

Estimates of up to a million people dead, for something they didn't do. It was pretty bad.

Murdered a lot of defenseless people is more like it..

Killing hundreds of thousands of people is also aggravating.

From 1945 until today - 20 to 30 million people killed by the USA https://www.voltairenet.org/article204021.html

The U.S. Has Killed More Than 20 Million People in 37 “Victim Nations” Since World War II https://www.globalresearch.ca/us-has-killed-more-than-20-mil...

It's all just numbers to Americans. Zero empathy to the chaos caused throughout the world.

Haven't they killed thousands

adhamsalama | karma 107 | avg karma 0.69 · | 2023-12-12 15:01:14

Yes, killing over 17000 people, most of them women and children is not OK.

bjl | karma 801 | avg karma 3.23 · | 2017-06-05 13:58:31+00:00

That's obviously nonsense. Killing 1M people is worse than killing 1.

mhurron | karma 7184 | avg karma 3.32 · | 2013-11-26 18:33:28+00:00

Ah so you have information regarding the mass amount of people the US didn't like and has assassinated?

wumpus | karma 10706 | avg karma 15.23 · | 2022-09-03 16:13:54

Let's see: killed a ton of people, was extremely expensive, ...

kafkaesq | karma 7631 | avg karma 2.93 · | 2016-10-18 16:10:10+00:00

Actually it's not that complicated in this case. Except for the small matter of nearly 10,000 people needlessly killed.

ctdonath | karma 11320 | avg karma 2.51 · | 2017-10-18 18:55:27+00:00

Killing a cumulative 100,000,000 hardly constitutes "minor crimes".

Turing_Machine | karma 10789 | avg karma 1.77 · | 2016-12-09 18:42:41+00:00

Please provide a "counter-example" where the United States murdered 100 million people.

Thanks.

And the hundreds of thousands that have died over the past couple decades as we turn people's homes into war torn countries?

aydyn | karma 374 | avg karma 1.22 · | 2023-08-30 10:52:35

oh yeah, 10s of millions murdered sooo superficial

I feel like I'm going in circles here, but, this information shouldn't be used to justify nuclear mass murder, rather, it should be used to start questioning the conventional mass murder. It's not that 'we already were mass murdering people anyway'; it's 'on top of that, we were also mass murdering people with conventional attacks'.
