    not that you give a shit about the truth value of anything you're saying

    The kitten-burners seem to fulfill some urgent need. They give us someone we can clearly and correctly say we’re better than. Their extravagant cruelty makes us feel better about ourselves because we know that we would never do what they have done. They thus function as signposts of depravity, reassuring the rest of us that we’re Not As Bad As them, and thus letting us tell ourselves that this is the same thing as us being good.

        Average life expectancy from birth in the world and selected countries or regions in years between 1820 and 2020

        So what you're saying is Mao accomplished in one generation what took the rest of the world 200 years?
