Very sad for Paris. Some are saying the horrors are unimaginable.
But I find this massacre no more unimaginable than the massacre that happened to those 22 poor kids @ Sandy Hook.
Ironic, though, how unhinged the rich white world becomes when it is the one getting attacked as what happened in Paris Friday night, November 14. But this shit happens everyday in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, Gaza and the West Bank, ad nauseam. And it even happens everyday here in the US as right wing apocalyptic fucks kill masses of people every fucking day.
How the world forgets that this shit is a result of decades of failed imperialist and oppressive American and European foreign and domestic policies.
Humanity is a violent and cruel species. We are the only species that kills for the fuck of it. And we come up with cockamamy absolutist and exceptionalist belief systems where those who believe in some particular mythical shit are the only right ones and everyone else is wrong -- and we combine this absolutism with savagery and ignorance, and with lethal technology.
So throw in the consequences of human caused climate change (as the US military has already looked @ impending scenarios), and Paris will be small potatoes compared to what is to come.
Yes, this is all very imaginable.
And unless we can change the paradigm, change humanity's basic savagery and cruelty and inability to understand how the world actually works, look towards an every increasing bleak world of massive upheaval, violence and horror.
