This is one of the articles of all time.

Reminder that the founder of Vice and the founder of the Proud Boys are the same person.

love how you can literally Google this and the first one is the wikipedia page for “Anecdotal value” and the second one is a deep dive to check where the quote originally came from, but go off ig
so regardless of the whole attribution question, this isn’t even a slightly unreasonable thing to say? It’s not like he said “A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic - and I think that’s a good thing and I’m going to use it to kill seventeen billion kulaks”, it’s just a statement. It’s been true about COVID, it was true about famine and drought in his own time, and it’s true both intra-alignment and otherwise - smoking deaths are a statistic, Anne Frank’s death was a tragedy, COVID-19 deaths were a statistic, Nex Benedict’s death was a tragedy, etc. It’s just observational and it’s largely true, at least in regards to how people and societies react.
