You have revolution and a lot of people dying. It's been happening in China for over 2000 years now. This is nothing new for us.
You know what is new?
-Forcing brother to rape sisters
-Forcing fathers to rape daughters
-Attempt extermination of the Chinese people
-Cutting up pregnant Chinese women and killing her child in front of her
-Experimenting on Chinese children, women, and babies for their biological warfare
This BEYOND the usual "rape, pillage, kill" kind of deal. This is some sort of absolute savagery that is beneath even your typical murderer or soldier in his blood craziness. This is pure, conscious evil.
But hey what do I know. Maybe this has been happening for thousands of years too. Maybe we should consider this normal. The next country America invade, let's make it OK and force their father to rape their daughters, make baby, then cut her open and kill that baby. Sounds good.
It is bias to think that the art of war is just for killing people. It is not to kill people, it is to kill evil. It is a strategem to give life to many people by killing the evil of one person.
