      i make no bones about this: i am a zealot. i run no risk of sullying my conscience by calling for these people’s deaths because i believe their deaths would be just. even after they lose power, they will still be the people who killed the world and immiserated billions. there is a line past which redemption is no longer an option, and they are very well on the other side of it, regardless of whether or not their ability to cause harm has been neutralized.

      what china did to puyi was kindness. what the bolsheviks did to the romanovs was just.

      Do you think they’ll just give up their power?

      No, they’ll use economic weapons (eg. scorched earth policy, sanctions, IMF structural adjustments), if not military force (eg. air bombs, drones, missiles), and propaganda campaigns, with their media structure, as we’ve seen in history before

      It’s not only just, but necessary, in many times
