...I actually came on to say I've been listening to history podcasts (trying to catch the bits of prehistory, because there don't seem to be many besides Origin Stories for early human stuff) and it's really been reinforced that people just genocide groups of people all the time, so the combination of middle eastern stuff going on right now and disability-aimed-to-kill including forced incarceration of mentally ill folks here and an easily-accessible federal assisted suicide program with very poor access to disability supports... that's more or less normal.

It's humans being humans, like quail will scalp each other or roosters will kill each other or...

It feels better, knowing it's not personal? I mean, humans do all sorts of things.

Yeah, it reads very differently from inside the frames of "my culture's moral framework" and "animal behavior" (or even something in the middle: "history").

Things can be both horrifying and mundane at the same time. :-/
