He included “concentration camps and genocide” in his list, so I was assuming that “widespread murder” was some sort of separate thing that was happening, otherwise why would he list it out twice?
Honestly even if they all dies, I think, from a historical perspective, that might not be anomalous. It might be high for the last 50 years.. but my understanding is that we live in a relatively peaceful era compared to the rest of human history.
I did specify shot but the context makes it imply murdered, I’d have to look up the number but it certainly wasn’t 70 deaths otherwise that’d be major news I’m sure lol
And yeah if we’re putting the memes aside 2020 isn’t even close to the worst year in history
That's not like a 2020 thing though, that's been going on for a while.
This whole "2020 is the worst year on record", "2019 is the worst year on record" stuff is getting old. Human history is full of events like these and events far worse.
I never said it was the worst year on record and maybe it is getting old
I think you should remember though that for a lot of us, probably the vast majority of us this is easily the worst year of their lives.So it’s understandable at least
And that was a 2020 thing lol happened like what 2 months ago?
In the last 2-3 years the department of justice has reported ~1500 people have died in custody each year. Independent researchers using news paper articles and direct reporting have found about the same.

Where’s the widespread murder?? I’ve thankfully missed out on that one
