"The problem is not that we don't have evidence of intention, but that we are overwhelmed with evidence and we're tempted to ratchet up the standard in response... which becomes another way of looking away.

Your attitude towards a specific event in the past reveals your specific intent towards the future.... What do neo-nazis means when they say the Holocaust didn't happen? They mean they would like for it to happen again. When you deny a specific crime that people with whom you identify carried out in the past, you're affirming that crime.

Genoicide is all about you and your need for self-definition... in this war we cannot find language about what Russia is... narrowed to the project of destroying Ukraine." - Timothy Snyder
