      Imo the just feels weird because mass murder shouldn’t be a “just”. It should be somewhat near a penultimate, but compared to genocide…

        Genocide = mass murder + the attempt to wipeout a characteristic people.

        So “just” mass murder could be considered one step less worse than genocide.

          No disagreement at all, still feels like we shouldn’t be applying that word to something so severe.
