I had never heard in any detail about the events there until the lady that used to clean my place told me her personal account . Her husband was killed, they burned her house and she still has a kid unaccounted for.
Another sad chapter in our times I didn't appreciate the full impact of was when I went to Cambodia a couple of years ago. That butcher (Pol Pot) killed a quarter of the entire population and tried to set the clock to Year 0 to erase all associations with the past in his delusional desire to create utopia.
We are so fucked up as a species there is no way we could evolve to anything worth being the alpha species and we are going to kill the environment for all other species to boot.
