Hoping free talk is okay here: I just started reading this book called Man’s Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl, an Austrian, Jewish psychiatrist who survived the holocaust. This one is going to hurt like a motherfucker.

Honestly, the Holocaust was so tragic that I don't understand why we're essentially fine with having more genocides happen — obviously not at the same scale but Uyghurs are still being fucked and so are Ukrainians, though obviously we do a lot more about that one.

And those are just the ones we know about.

I think there's also one in Tigray, which is part of Ethiopia, but I don't know enough to say

@Astrealix @throbbingpens The Tigray crisis has killed WAY more people than the Russia-Ukraine war but gets very little coverage in the West, despite the efforts of the head of WHO to keep it in the public eye
