    Imagine thinking a whole group of people- millions of people- deserve to die. I can’t even comprehend the thought process there.

      The thought of killing millions of people is becoming normalized again.

      The more this rhetoric is repeated, the more likely it will occur … if not in Palestine, then somewhere else.

      We aren’t evolving at this point … we’re regressing.

        Now that everyone who experienced WW2 has gone, the collective memory isn’t so strong. Up till a few years ago, you could talk to someone in the family who remembered it.

      Our population is too domesticated for all this nonsense. I would argue the vast majority of people haven’t even killed a chicken, let alone taken human life. No murders will be happening any time soon

        This is a bad take, you don’t have to have previously killed anyone to become a murderer.

        The Nazis managed to industrialize mass murder in the 20th century which directly reduced the amount of exposure to the common citizen. I don’t even want to imagine what a similar mindset would be capable of today.

        All it takes is a minority of psychopaths and a large population of apathetic citizens.
