The bombing of Hiroshima was clearly a genocide of the Hiroshimites — the indigenous people of the land of Hiroshima.

The population of this land was tiny — only 350 thousand — to America’s 140 million.

By 1945, Hiroshima had already been militarily degraded to the point of defenselessness. This is why American bombers could fly in and release their payload with impunity.

The attack was entirely unnecessary. Only a few hundred thousand more American deaths would have sufficed to win a ceasefire.

Worse, to this very day we do not know how many of the Hiroshimites were loyal to Hirohito and how many were innocent victims. But we can be almost 100% sure the support was far short of universal — especially when we count the children and women who always only want ordinary, peaceful lives, like you and me.

But if you look at a spreadsheet and calculate the death ratio between Americans and Hiroshimites, the objective facts speak louder than anything else. Virtually no Americans died in this operation, compared to nearly 140,000 Hiroshimites.

That is approximately 40% of the Hiroshimite population — just wiped out.

If you compare this to other genocides, for example to 66% of the the European Jewish population who died in the Holocaust (while Europeans either joined in on the killing or low-key prevented Jews from escaping), or the more recent genocide in Gaza where 3% to 4% of Gazans were killed in treacherous urban warfare (where Hamas did everything it could to get their own population killed so they could photograph them and use the images to emotionally manipulate know-it-all progressivist ignorami), you can see that the Hiroshimite genocide sits squarely between the 4% and 66% of two of our most paradigmatic genocides, and is therefore, quantitatively, objectively genocidal.

So it was an unnecessary, deadly and indiscriminate attack on a tiny population perpetrated by a much larger and better-armed power. Those who perished might have included dissenters and unenthusiastic supporters of Hirohito. These Asians were allegedly killed to prevent the death of Americans, whose lives were considered more valuable than Hiroshimite lives. This was true not only of Americans, but Europeans, most of whom were white. And there it is again: race. It’s always there if you look for it with eyes capable of seeing only that. And once you see it, you cannot unsee it, unless you learn other ways to understand the world.
