    Do you… Think that list is authoritative?

    Do you… want to provide more authoritative sources? Or even just start with one? So far you’ve cited zero.

    Remember, your original assertion was “the US is still the king of genocide.” Assuming your vague phrase of “king of genocide” means total number of people killed, then show an authoritative source that proves it, then we can talk.

      You’re sources contain literal Nazi propaganda and uses numbers from the Black Book of Communism; Queermunist’s comment is more authoritative than that on it’s own.

      My attention was originally brought to this by the book Lies My Teacher Told Me - I listened to an audiobook so sadly I can’t really search it for the relevant passage without investing a bunch of time. Instead, here’s the relevant Wikipedia article which covers it. “The population of Indigenous Americans is estimated to have decreased from approximately 145 million to around 7-15 million between the late 15th and late 17th centuries, representing a decline of around 90-95%.”
