      Referring to WW2, the Thirty Years’ War, and arguably WW1 which is right on the 1% margin. “Western European regimes that don’t kill piles upon piles of people over minor ethnic, religious, or linguistic differences” are very much a post-WW2 phenomenon.

      death isn’t scary

      there are billions of religious people who think they will have a better time after they die. why would they be scared of that. whether it is going to heaven or being reincarnated. I mean if they think they’re going to the bad afterlife instead of the good one sure. but even then it is not death itself they fear but what comes after.
