Tokyo starving, fueless, and defenseless
279 B Bombers
1 minute apart
67 tons of explosives each
1600 tons of bombs
Kills 100,000 civilians
Flatten 16 square miles

67 more cities are destroyed in the same way after.

Then two nuclear bombs wipe out two cities.

The way Japanese were depicted in media and political statements were racist and dehumanizing.

This was not war.

This was racial cleansing and genocide.

We don’t call this the second Holocaust because we won.

The irony and taxation of our beautiful coincidental evolutionary existence, that thrived on the complete domination over other species, is the evolution of other organisms that dominates us as vehicles for its own thriving. It is inevitable and unfortunate, but we shouldn’t hate it, because it is the same reason we are here.

This is a scientific fact.

إن الضريبة على وجودنا التطوري الصدفي الجميل ، الذي ازدهر عن طريق الهيمنة الكاملة على بعض الأنواع الأخرى ، هو تطور كائنات أخرى تهيمن علينا كمركبات لازدهارها. إنه أمر لا مفر منه ومؤسف ، لكن لا يجب أن نكرهه ، لأنه نفس سبب وجودنا هنا.

هذه حقيقة علمية.
