      I don’t know why these stats are getting trotted out so much.

      They don’t provide any indication of who is the aggressor, nor their intent.

        I think who is getting killed is leaps and bounds more important than any intent. Islam and Judaism, just like every other religion, is santy claws for adults, and the lowest of justifications to kill for. I care about who is more blood soaked. Because blood exists. Here. In the physical world.

        Honestly, both peoples should be forcibly displaced and forced to rely on the kindness of other nations to learn humility, and the “holy” lands irradiated so no one can live there for a thousand years be they Christian, Muslim, Jew, Satanist, or fucking Jedi. People are dying today, yet-a fucking-gain over the literal equivalent of “Thanos is stronger! Nuhuh Darkseid is!” Sorry your fiction isn’t a reasonable validation for shit, no matter how vintage.

        Its a fucking desert too. I live in a desert. The shittiest kind of land humans can live on. They’re killing each other over shitty land in the name of the cock size of their imaginary friends. So, their shared intent is acting on their respective cultural mass delusions. Both sides have killed so, so, so many real children at minimum using these delusions as validation, if not actually believing it. Why are these delusions still revered? We’ve split the atom, it’s 2023. Fucking WuT.

        If someone wants to pray to Pikachu at 2am standing on one foot except on thursdays because that’s Charizard’s day, who cares? You do you Pokemon Master, but stop making it anyone else’s problem. Religious states cause these situations. They are incompatible with logic and reason, which gets people dead.

        And yes, I actively disrespect your beliefs if those beliefs include a license to kill or limit the rights of anyone else to satisfy your beliefs.

        Then again, I don’t believe in an some round 2 afterlife, I think this fragile mind and body is all we get, so maybe I’m too biased in favor of the importance of not killing people who are alive. Maybe I should respect the beliefs of the people who think death is just like losing a life in a video game and you respawn somewhere else nbd. My bad.

      That last bar is very much not up to date. It’s going to look real bad once we get the numbers. You probably won’t be able to see the rest of the chart because so many Palestinians will die.
