was it ever justice at all?
This is why so many who fight “for the people” fall silent here.

It demands the collapse of Western moral innocence.

When this is over, let's talk.
"Centrists" will engage with fascism but they're terrified of (being equal to) the rest of us. It's why a baseline of treating Black and trans people with dignity and respect and legal equality is "too far" but also the same level of political offense as extrajudicial human trafficking and murder.
