  from https://www.theguardian.com/profile/aidaedemariam
  
  His house was bombed and his relatives killed, before he escaped to the US. Now he is on a relentless, restless drive to tell the stories of all those left behind

- Bread and Circuses
@breadandcircuses Capitalism will end itself - but a lot of us, I'm afraid, are going to be ended with it. Our entire technological "civilisation" is destined to collapse, & the future global human population will, so I believe, be very, very much smaller than it is now.

  from https://www.theguardian.com/profile/arwa-mahdawi

@aral Your argument is false, in logic. If there is no justification for supporting genocide - & there ISN'T - those who DO support it must still say why they do so. They must justify themselves (or try to do so) - not the genocide.
