Where's their line?

Based on WW2:

  • Cruelty and atrocity: nice...
  • Concentration camps: nothing to see here, everyone has them
  • Systematic genocide: who hasn't done some genociding at one point or another?
  • Overt industrialized systematic genocide: ...only if they attack you first.

Luckily we now have the Universal Declaration of Human Rights... which everyone is ignoring. Oh well, we tried.
