The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Understanding this distinction is vital for understanding what fascism in America will, eventually, look like.
great thread and this has been one of my obsessions in my column, to point people away from the european example and toward the american one.

While y'all are watching a football game, I'm jumping once again into the murky and sad history of late 90s / early aughts Balkan nationalism.
