Thought about putting this in the wr, but the purpose of this thread is not debate, really.

Watch the video at least until it talks about the Soviet Union, and be in awe.

Like many of you, i knew lots of these numbers, but seeing a visual of them like this is shocking.

WW2 was the real shit.
 
its difficult to wrap your mind around. what does 10 million deaths in one country look like? what does 10 million of anything look like?
 
It's difficult to imagine certain places being wiped out. Your family, friends, neighbors. Gone... WW2 was nuts like that around the world. It's pretty strange how we can combine our resources to kill each other, but not to make the human race better overall.

Puts things in perspective for me when I think of WW2, and just war in general.
 
People don't understand what war is like. The Civil War was probably the first widely photographed war. WWII was the most photographed war and many civilians were killed too. Some were collateral damage but most were intentionally killed.
 
Russia lost it's masculinity in that war.

You can't just lose an entire generation of your strongest/bravest and expect to recover within a century. It's really a miracle they've done as well as they have.

I guess so did Japan. Funny how they've gone crazy in the exact opposite directions.
 
something like 40 million males died. There would have been a second holocaust with how much pussy I'da slayed '44-48.

Well that's what I was hinting at; initially the next generation for both were super strict students who excelled. But that generation was never taught to be men and they never learned how to raise their children. Russia went towards hyper-aggression and alcoholism and Japan went in the opposite direction raising a generation of lost men who didn't embrace the masculine spirit.
 
I liked the presentation overall. But they talked about the long peace at the end. It wasn't totally honest when Mao got 50+ million killed. Then there was the African genocides with 2+ million deaths. The Cambodian genocide with a million deaths. The U.S. government placed sanctions on Iraq which were genocidal and got around half a million to die. 100,000+ have died in Mexico from homicides as a result of the drug war. Basically governments around the world have killed a lot of civilians for a long time now. It's like a favorite past-time. But why would the populace need guns? lol

Democide, death by government. The number one killer on earth over the last 100-150 years has not been disease or famine or religion, it has been Democide. Government is the most efficient killing machine ever devised. That's why I laugh when I encounter people that can't fathom anything less than 100% support and trust in your government.

The human race has eradicated entire diseases and built space stations.

Look at global responses to tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes etc..
