It's not ethnic cleansing in your book, but who cares? It is according to the ICC, which is why there's an arrest warrant for Putin for ethnic cleansing.

In the past nights Russia fired thousands of rockets and drones at civilian targets. The only reason Ukraine doesn't entirely look like Gaza (and some parts do) is because of the population density and the air defense systems.

Ah, that's why Israel bombed the fuck out of his military in day one! Because he's their agent! And Assad wasn't, because they never bombed him. Riiight!

First of all, I'd like to recommend you this article: https://crimethinc.com/2019/04/08/against-the-logic-of-the-guillotine-why-the-paris-commune-burned-the-guillotine-and-we-should-too

Second of all: it's hard to imagine the intellectual development that led to socialism and anarchism, without the French revolution. Of course, it's a counterfactual scenario to imagine history without the French revolution -- but still, things happened the way they did.

Edit: French revolutionaries liberated women and banned slavery -- until the counter revolution.

You've picked perhaps the worst outcome of the French revolution -- save Napoleon. Burn the guillotine, like the Commune did.

So did the UK. Are we going to eradicate Dickens as much as Tolstoy?

People in Egypt are dirt poor and can hardly stay afloat themselves. Why expect them to take the burden for a crisis that they didn't cause and don't support? (Is Egypt corrupt as fuck and is are the people running the state rich as fuck? -- yes.)

Here's a tiny shred of evidence from this somewhat credible organisation called the UN/OHCHR: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2022/08/un-human-rights-office-issues-assessment-human-rights-concerns-xinjiang

Would you now present me with 'evidence' that an entire ethnicity is primarily Nazi? Because that sounds awfully racist to me, but what do I know?
