I softly deny scale, but a) i wasn’t there b) it’s not particularly interesting.
Tplf has massacred 200 people recently, do people talk about amhara massacre? Would they remember them? Us troops recently gunned down prolly 40 people after explosion in kabul, will you remember it 20 years from now?
I’m not even talking mass violence of the 60s, that happened this month. God knows what myanmar is doing, yemen still suffers, colombia completely blacked out in news, india is beating up farmers, I try to remember them instead of some small scale shit in china.
I didn't know that the TPLF was even a thing. And wow, that sounds really shitty. I wish people would just stop killing each other, instead of looking at everything as "relative".
Yeah, I also wish. I think there in lies a faultline for tankies, they see the terror of counter revolution and make napkin calculation what would be acceptable loss of life to prevent it. If there were no shadow outfits salivating over thoughts of balkanizing china, I would be much more critical as well but I feel ambivalent, what would have happened. Maybe they would sit down, maoist wing would beat up lib nerds, and they’ll get sweet concessions from revisionist government. Or maybe they would attract more and more people, until conflict becomes unviable, and China would have become russia 1.0, with some millions of death from exposure, alcoholism and heroin. Kinda hard trolley problem with so many questions, isn’t it?

Yep. It sucks.

Thanks. I needed that, after the "'warm" welcome I received here.
