the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have resulted in around 4 million excess deaths (and that excludes the sanctions beforehand which killed probably 500,000),



no they haven't and you wont find any reputable source that claims anything near that number

the Vietnan war resulted in millions of deaths for generations (the exact number is unknown and unknowable since children are still affected by residual chemicals from the war) as did the Korean war (which probably killed 3 million or more).



the united states civil war killed 600,000 people, mostly soldiers. that is the population equivalent of 6 million today, and still the bloodiest conflict in absolute terms in the western hemisphere. the napoleonic wars killed 5 million people, the equivalent today of roughly 30 million europeans. the taiping rebellion killed 20 million, or the equivalent of 150 million in today's china. note also how you can only come up with four major wars in the last 70 years.

Not to mention the hundreds of millions who have starved to death as result of capitalism's unique preference for having people starve to death than buy food at unprofitable prices and the hundreds of pointless wars and genocides in the name of profit and anti-communism. But all of those people I mentioned are not white, so they don't count.



name some of these hundreds of wars and genocides that have occurred since 1945.

Capitalism, as a mindless ephemeral arcane system of structuring an economy based on capital investment and accumulation, does not have preferences. People do. People would rather some other people somewhere die than have to themselves be mildly inconvenienced. That is also not a behavior at all unique to people living under capitalism. I hope this has been edifying.

Lots of Russian women are moving into china to marry because "Chinese men are kinder and more attentive to their wives. And they usually have more money."

i think that video game violence should be included in calculations of global violence levels. what really separates the becheetoed neckbeard swinging a virtual sword in some fantasy RPG and the hutu youth militia swiftly slicing through tutsi bone with a machete.

yes. plus when i go to china and try to rent an apartment i will not be ripped off and shoved into a rapidly decaying building built out of the most carcinogenic things a corrupt official could piece together last minute, at least right away, because there will be a short delay when they go "huh, he speaks chinese" and then straight to cancertown

you cant compare numbers without looking at them per capita. a million dead people today is a lot less impressive than it was in 1900, 1800, or 1500. inflation

you also need a technology multiplier. that is, it's a lot more impressive for a million people to die from sword wounds than a million people to get vaporized by explosives. the level of violence could go down but with better weapons we'll keep killing more people despite ourselves. calculate this for us goat.

actually it's amazing, when we think about the technology that we have, that casualties have not skyrocketed astronomically. take the iraq war. people complain about the couple hundred thousand people killed there. but is there any real question that the united states does not have the physical capability to do what half a dozen ancient empires dreamed of, and kill every single man, woman and child in iraq? we could probably kill 90% of them inside a week
