yeah, the intentional extirpation of a species is pretty heinous, but i mean... look at what the Dutch were doing that century. or what was happening at plantations and mines around the world. hell, compared to what's happening at mines and plantations and factories around the world today.

makes you realize it's not really worth comparing evils beyond a certain point. it'll only serve to make you feel bad and maybe hurt someone's feelings for no reason.

This mountain of skulls is a sign of a horrible crime, committed to facilitate an even more horrible crime.

And yet it wasn't even in the top 10 of worst things humans did that century
