Sanitation

Today is Monday, 12 November 2012.

On this date in 1969, the great journalist Seymour Hersh moved news of the My Lai/My Khe massacres across the AP wire.

At least 547 “gooks” or ”slopes”,  in the slanguage of the time, were murdered.

One of the inevitable consequences of subdividing humanity into “races”, which in fact do not exist in reality, and are entirely malignant social constructs, is that inculcating notions of racial superiority makes it oh-so-much-easier to stir people into atrocities against their perceived enemies.  This is the case whether the construct is fashioned to be “white”, Aryan, English, American, etc. ad nauseum.

Killing the not-quite-human-as-us becomes a moral duty of sanitation, and consequently much easier on the killers.
