Then there’s the isolation and the propaganda and the fear and one of the worst famines of the 20th century

I mean damn maybe if the world just admitted hey we really ****ed up here

I know this is one of the least inarticulate posts I’ve ever made but maybe if the world came to them with a sense of humility instead of constant judgement. I get that it’s hard not to judge horrible dictators but so many ****ty things had to happen first for all that to fall into place.

At the least that famine in the nineties was a terrible failure for all of humanity not just them. We really ****ed up too. The blood is on our hands too. I always say that but it’s really true.
