Same! there are very few 1st person books that I don’t find insufferable.
A lot of 1990s photos of Oasis look like this to me.
A weapon made solely to deny families closure, to inflict psychic damage on entire societies. People planned and built this. They sold it to their superiors. They manufactured it. They loaded it on planes and drones and dropped it on human beings.

A lot of self described Christians seem to be banking on there not actually being a hell.
Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.
Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position
