That's maybe just barely true, WWII is the closest at about 2/3 and the adding in the others brings them right into the same ballpark. Now, why should that be the case? Two big reasons. First, the casualties counted on both sides. Second, other wars in which the US was involved did not occur on US soil, keeping civilian casualties minimal in a way that is not true for other participants.
It's not even new, it's part of the "Tartaria" conspiracy theory. Lore Lodge has a bunch of videos talking about it (and how it's largely just refusal to acknowledge actual history), although since Aiden is openly a mason I'm sure Stud is going to take that as proof of the theory.
Not people, AMERICANS, and that bit of trivia is because America suffered comparatively fewer casualties in all other wars it was involved in, but in the Civil War all casualties were Americans, and because it actually took place within America itself with actual cities and forts to siege rather than overseas bases. More people died in other wars since then, but mostly not ours
Wait, what? I thought the Lore Lodge guy was a devout Evangelical? What made him join the Freemasons?
you can test that theory just sperg really really hard about HHH and the ukraine war
In fairness, VHS isn't exactly a "lossless" format.

Consumer VHS was different from commercial VHS (for transmission).
A lot of it used Betacam too, which was marginally superior in the back end for transmission. The display quality you got only marginally increased from the 60's CRT TV's to mid 90's with S-VHS and the component with laserdisc. It did look better, but also your frame of reference over time at what was 'best' changes your opinion on how it looked then too. I've been watching some older Youtube stuff, pre around 2014 and it mostly looks awful. But it's hard to tell ones made since 2016 to now unless it's 60fps. Back then those videos looked 'good', but as you adjust to better modern things, older looks crappy.
Yes, I was talking about a more general darkness for awhile that was in vogue. Just couldn't see much of what was going on in a lot of movies. That wasn't a tech issue, but cine choices. Youngsters now have no idea how crappy projection TVs were back in the 90s and cost as much as a house, literally. And had screen door effect with giant visible pixels. Crap cost over $100k and look awful. Or you had a 40" rear CRT that looked bad, or a 32" CRT that looked fine, but tiny.
Keep in mind that California, Illinois, and many other blue states are functionally bankrupt due to pension obligations.Here’s something more interesting than sperging out over Civil War photos:

China is in a worse financial situation than we are. I’m aware that this graph is a few years out of date, but I can only assume their debt has worsened since then. Combine this with their abysmal birth rate (reportedly 0.and their staggering youth unemployment rate of 35%, they’re close to the abyss. Of course, so is America due to many of the same reasons.
When I was little, we set off these "snake" fireworks on our sidewalks. The scorch marks stayed for at least a decade, clear as day, until the cement was replaced. And that was from cheap, poor quality fireworks.
Friend lit one in their house. Marks are still there on ceiling.
OK, I think the man needs his pink triangle now
