i'm reading one day, everyone will have always been against this, he writes about the civics test for citizenship, he has to say he's never been involved in any way with genocide, to become a citizen of the genocidal country. it's enlightening to read how someone from afar sees and navigates this place. with irony. we always see in hindsight here. it's hard to see the present. we need someone like omar el akkad for insight.
