This morning I was reminded by Hexbear that the CIA admitted to genocide in Indonesia in response to the book The Jakarta Method, but nobody cared. In fact, some dipshit Americans defended the CIA and downplayed the killings (presumably because they were communists, who we all know aren't human).
Right after that, I read about a guy who was sentenced to 40 years in prison for leaking CIA secrets. The US government was pursuing a life sentence. When the guy complained in court about torturous cell conditions and the vengeful nature of what the government was seeking, the judge was disappointed by his lack of remorse. Oh, and they conveniently discovered he was viewing CSAM whilst in prison and has been formally charged with that. So that means he will forever now be known as a pedophile and can never be pardoned without the person doing it being labelled a pedophile sympathiser. This all happened because he had a conscience and told the world their plans.
But no, no one is evil. We should all just stop being angry and smile or whatever.
A short and incomplete list of stuff to be worried about
The US could be on the path to war with Iran - US launches retaliatory strikes on Iranian-linked militia targets in Iraq and Syria. That news broke a few minutes ago.
Yesterday I learned this - There's been a monster outbreak of measles in Europe. In 2022 there were 941 cases. In 2023 (not including November and December) there were 30,000 cases.
There's the continuing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
God only knows how much hotter and chaotic the world will get due to climate change.
