    Civilian deaths 2 years into the Ukraine war stands at 10,000.

    After 5 months, it's 30,000 deaths in Gaza. That means if Israel were bombing Ukraine, the would've killed 150,000 Ukrainian civilians instead of 10,000. And if Russian were bombing Gaza, they would've killed just 2,000 instead 30,000.

    And I didn't even factor in population. Ukraine has 20x the population of Gaza. (40m to 2m). The impact of each innocent life lost is 20x more in Gaza than it is in Ukraine. It is 20x easier to wipe out an entire family, 20x easier to find someone who's lost someone, 20x to erase entire histories and subcultures (especially when you bomb universities, libraries, ancient monuments).

    So, Russia is at least 14-15 TIMES more humane and caring about civilian life than Israel is. And if you factor in the impact of the difference in relative population (40m vs 2m) that shoots up to 280-300 TIMES more humane and caring than Israel. That's not 280%-380% - That would be just 2.8-3.8 times. No.

    Russia respects Ukrainian civilains 28,000%-30,000% more than Israel respects Gazan civilians.

      I get what you saying but I really don't like the "population size to population size metric so these deaths are worth even more" kinda discourse. It's how people get to "this was like 10 9/11s" or whatever. The facts are obvious already.

          Yes, 2 personality tests can be a different result on the same day. It's also used by extremely stupid business owners to discriminate against introverts.

        That's a blast from the past! Yeah, I used to get INTP all the time when I took the personality test yeeeears ago. I guess this makes them slightly more predictive than actual horoscopes lol.
