Anon must be on the spectrum.

It is easy to forget how much safer and friendlier the world has gotten. Fewer people in destitution, wars are regional instead of worldwide, virus outbreaks aren't as horrible, etc.

News wants to sell you fear and our chimp brains want to focus on threats so it doesn't feel this way but the world is as good as it's ever been.

Yeah what is anon complaining about? We are all lucky to have such easy lifes. We don't hafto worry about the next world war like they used to.

However, although things are undeniably better, that's no reason not to try and improve further

Anon is comparing civilian casualties to military casualties, retar detected

DamonTheron@reddit

If OOP adds about 4 zeroes to that 5 number he has the right amount of dead in Gaza.

Double that for a decent count on the dead in Ukraine.

Is that not enough?

Anon longs to be conscripted so he can bleed out in a shell crater in a nameless French field.

That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields.

Smooth-Champion-2702@reddit

Yeah i think a headline like "Russian casualties in Ukraine hit numbers higher than Continuation War estimates" would really put things into perspective

[-]

Serious-Ad4594@reddit

Searched and it shows more than a million casualties on the war , the numbers the green text is showing are just small skirmishes rather than the total of the war

[-]

Smooth-Champion-2702@reddit

You're right, and i didn't even include Leningrad

[-]

thr33beggars@reddit

Anon forgot to factor in that with unchecked inflation, 2000 deaths in the 1940s is like 30 today.

YourLocalSnitch@reddit

Was this not trench warfare? Where the main idea was to send a few hundred men down a line to get shot and if it didnt work they just try it again in a few days?

[-]

DropshipTrooper@reddit

I mean realistically 1 european life = 100 arabs/israelis so numbers probably inaccurate

[-]

pacard@reddit

Russian and Ukrainian casualties are in the 100s of thousands

Tenko-of-Mori@reddit

anon discovers that in the whole of human history we are probably at the safest and most tranquil point ever. as a global average.

the_capibarin@reddit

Unironically, thank the nuclear bomb for that

[-]

Yeseylon@reddit

And soon we can thank the nuclear bomb for 7 and 8 figure death counts in single \~\~civilian massacres\~\~ battles

[-]

ibejeph@reddit

Every one of those deaths was a tragedy. A son, father, uncle, etc., that would never return home. A life ended too soon.

[-]

nuruwo@reddit

Not just the men. The Tokyo air raids killed many civilians, man, woman and child.

PM_ME_GOOD_SUBS@reddit

Anon compares local conflicts with World Wars.

[-]

PotatoesAndChill@reddit

To be fair, the listed engagements were also happening in a small area. But the scale of attacks was completely different back then.

[-]

TurretLimitHenry@reddit

Weapons have gotten more advanced. No need to level a city while trying to eliminate a small concentrated location.

[-]

Agerones@reddit

Anon forgot about the Sudanese civil war

[-]

this-is-robin@reddit

Don't you mean the Sugondese civil war?

DomSchraa@reddit

Its because counter defense weapons have become so advanced

Ww2 bombers often operated in large groups and carried dozes of bombs, only needing a fuze, shell and explosives, each cost only a couple hundred $ in todays money (approximately)

Compare that with today

We need guided ammunitions, often smallish in terms of payload, but they still cost 10.000s of $, but because of modern anti air its nearly impossible to fly ww2 style bomber formations, which is why guided ammunitions are used

Same with military gear, its become a lot more expensive over the decades

That and the western front during ww1 alone had 2/3 of ukraines todays total population in terms of soldiers

Also medice has gotten a lot better - so many died during ww1 due to preventable diseases (which is part of the reason the western fronts during ww2 were so much less deadly than the east, dont forget the INSANE amount of civilians dying due to genocide/bombing/hunger)
