Probably my most unpopular opinion
Nov. 11th, 2021 07:09 amWorld War I killed 20 million people.
The Great Influenza epidemic killed between 17 million and 100 million during and immediately after.
The odds of a soldier dying in WWII were 1 in 26.
The odds of a kidnapped Indigenous child dying in a residential school at the same time was 1 in 25.
As a culture, the choices we make around whose deaths are mourned and whose are forgotten are significant.
