I mean maybe calling it evil is part of the problem ?
I call it evil because it is intentional and premeditated.
There are degrees in everything. Punching somebody is less bad than killing somebody.
Trying to put everything on degrees is bound to show ignorance and imply that certain things are more acceptable than others.
I don’t want to hurt people with my ignorance and I do not want to tell someone that what they experienced is less bad than something else. They are bad and we’ll leave it at that.
Btw its totally humane because we invented the shit.
I am working with this definition : “Characterized by kindness, mercy, or compassion”. There is a difference between human-made and humane.

im sorry but what a spineless,centrist childish take.
We can try to rationalize it, sure but I think that doing that generally is a disservice. I don’t want to make decisions based on this severity scale. The people who suffer from these problems are all equally deserving of help.

The number of victims matters.
