It should be clear to anyone of conscience that the events I listed in these tweets are no exceptions:
1/3 When I have advocated #anarchism, I have assumed the best of humanity and attributed the worst to our system of social organization.
But if our rulers are no better than we are, it is apparent as well that we are no better than they are.

2/3 It is little wonder that we are so cruel to nonhuman animals when we are so cruel even to each other.
I do not know how to argue that the rest of us are better than the Russians in Ukraine, the workers in slaughterhouses, the Nazis in the Holocaust.

3/3 On the contrary, throughout history and now in the present, we are despicably savage. When we point to others, and say they do it, not us, we dehumanize them, just as they do to those they butcher. There can be no excusing any of this savagery, no excusing us.
