You're arguing for both sides of the argument.

First you argue that people obeyed rulers because they didn't question authority.

Then you argue people obeyed rulers for their own benefit and material gain.

Putin is not a communist in any sense of the word.

It might be that the chance of actually electing one no longer feels like nil.

Yet that rescued hostage from yesterday did not look very pregnant.

Out of order. You can easily make the same point without resorting to perpetuating a misogynist myth about rape.

Why on earth do you mostly have pro-terrorist facebook friends? Did you not realise you can just block people like that?

When I think of genocide, it comes to mind images of some evil dictator using poison gas in a population, chemical weapons, an atomic bomb, etc.

That's just lack of education on your part, though. Neither the Cambodian Genocide nor the Rwandan Genocide would be a genocide according to you, but in reality these were two of the worst genocides in the last 50 years.

Come to think of it, neither would the Bosnian Genocide according to you, because it mainly targeted males for execution.

then cry genocide

The people who are "crying genocide" are those of us in the international community who know what a geenocide is, including experts in international law.

Medium's just a collection of random writers though. Some ignorance is expected.

The US president is literally going around his own Congress to ensure the Israelis are always well stocked with weapons during their genocide.
