We are well overdue for a mass killing event like a WW1 or WW2.
Plagues and wars are how the population is controlled. I don’t mean that as some sort of nutcase, but as an observer of history.
It has been 70 years since the end of WW2 and really WW2 was just the second half of WW1.
If one examines history the average interval for a mass killing event seems to be about 70 - 80 years.
Since science has reduced the biological killing events, we are left to wars. WW2 killed 4% of the population, and WW1 surprisingly killed....4%.
Projecting forward with improved technologies, I suspect that figure in the coming war will be 20% or more. That makes it about 1 billion people will die in the next major war, which will be against islam and the communists/left.
Perhaps you should define mass killings, we have plenty of them post WWII. The Chinese alone purged millions and millions of their citizens and such.
Or we could just undo the seatbelt laws.
To me it seems like the advent of legal abortion has more than made up for the numbers not killed in massive conflicts since WW2 or big plagues. Maybe that’s why we haven’t had one, that and the threat of nukes.
