     @scottmatter @elizabethveldon Those citations often come retrospectively, once it’s too late to do anything about the tragedy that has already transpired.

     Some of us would rather prevent a genocide than write a fucking Wikipedia article after the fact.

     I learned about mirror propaganda the other day and, not saying they’re planning a genocide, this approach to propaganda to implement authoritarian oppression seems a decent fit for what the hard-right and fascists are doing.
