Good. This generation will be the ones writing about this time period as the sad pathetic chapter of human history it is.

Let our children be the ones to rain down upon us unrelenting and constant reminders of our own compromises made with corporate and government fascists. Compromises where we were willing to sacrifice the lives, autonomy, and national identity of an entire ethnic group of people in exchange for imperialist power.

Don't relent. Don't let the fascists off the hook. Call out this genocide for what it is and fight to stop it. Fight until the world bows its head in shame and drops its arms, and then execute the war criminals.

ICC can't impose death penalty. Only life imprisonment.

There is so much about the last 10 years or so that is fucked, unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be improving.
