- yoyohello13 9mo agoFair enough. Seems like the common thread is religion + government = atrocities
- terminalshort 9mo agoThe common thread is groups of people = atrocities. Religion and government are two common properties that emerge from groups of people, but there are also countless examples of atrocities that involve neither.
