trail of tears.....cmon dude
The US Civil War dude
literal genocide dude. signed into law.
Do you think the Civil War was less awful?
Genocide is the crime of all crimes. So yes
Are you old enough to use the internet unsupervised? There's no "ranking" to evil or horrific events.
There absolutely is. Murder of millions is worse than murder of one.
Let's not fucking ethicswash this
And by your logic more people and ecologies were harmed by the US Civil War than the Trail of Tears.
You tell me how a singular war fought primarily by whites against whites compares to the US's and Western World's systematic eradication of Native Americans.
The Trail of Tears might not have involved actual deaths of Native Americans, but it's the hallmark heinous injustice and US-led marker of their centuries-long genocide (even if it's considered more ethnic cleansing than genocide).
Nothing about what you've said has refuted my point. More deaths are worse than less deaths.
Why are you making this about race at all? That is weird and kind of racist. It is also factually untrue to suggest it only impacted white people. War impacts everyone who lives in the war-zone. That would include many non-white peoples.
Again unless you have the mentality of a child there’s no hierarchy to evil.The Trail of Tears wasn’t less horrific than the Holodomor just because fewer were impacted.
