When I look at Israel, the united states, Russia, or any number of other incredibly violent, colonizing, militarized shit shows of countries, I don't limit my observations to the histories, cultures, political systems, etc. that specifically reflect those countries.
I don't think the larger pattern is an Israeli, usian, or a Russian problem.
I see living breathing specters of collective horror which represent the failings of our species in super-concentrated forms.
