So let me give you a couple more modern examples. An obvious
one is the Buddhist treatment of Rohingyas in Burma. Another
is the Shia/Alawite treatment of Sunni Muslims in Syria,
led by the psychopathic Bashar al-Assad.
But here's an American one that I've written about many times.
It's now well proven that Gen-X "financial engineers" got their
masters degrees in the 1990s, and then used their skills to purposely
create tens of trillions of dollars of fraudulent subprime mortgage
backed synthetic securities, and sold them to investors, hoping to
screw the Boomers. They caused millions of people to become homeless
or bankrupt, and not a single one has ever gone to jail.
OK, so these financial engineers did not send people to gas chambers,
but they're just as sociopathic in their willingness to destroy
people's lives with no pity. It's exactly the same sociopathy as the
Holocaust, differing only in extent.
