Similarly, I was approaching the intersection of 5th Ave and 20th St with a co-worker when she suddenly grabbed my arm. I assumed she was worried I was going to step off the curb and get smashed by a passing truck but no, Andrew Scott had just passed us and I completely missed him.

Setting up "aid distribution points" and then massacring people who come to obtain food is sincerely one of the most evil things I have ever seen.

-Libya... the US is using the country they destroyed in 2011, and which remains extremely weak and vulnerable to imperial pressure.
Evil doesn't even begin to describe what we are witnessing. All with the complicity of Western leaders and the cowardly silence of the Western press.

When we learn about the Holocaust, what is most terrifying and disturbing about it is the dehumanization, the total domination and the exercise of arbitrary violence. We feel the terror in our bones. And we are now seeing it play out in Palestine every single day.

The history of Western imperialism is bookended by genocides: the genocide perpetrated by Columbus against the Taino people after 1492, and the current US-Israeli genocide against the people of Palestine. Plus countless more in between. 500+ years of barbarism and it must be stopped.

That’s a great long term goal, but until Amazon has less than the lion’s share of book sales, publishers cannot afford to not have their titles there. Academic publishers like DUP have very small profit margins - even the big five publishers would quickly fold if they didn’t list on Amazon.
