Mmm, I guess you're right that no one owns anything fairly. I often think we're just animals fighting over territory.

Perfectly put.

I think I capitalize "the Holocaust" because "holocaust" can be a general thing like, "World War III will result in nuclear holocaust." But when discussing the genocide of European Jews, it becomes a proper noun in my mind.

I don't think it needs to be special any more, it's never a proper noun. Armenian holocaust, Rwandan holocaust. You don't hear me whining about the highland clearances. Offended for people I never knew, & claiming inherited dispensations.

Another example is if I were discussing the moons of Jupiter I wouldn't capitalize "moon." But if I'm talking about earth's moon, I would write "the Moon."

Don't get it, it's a moon.
