“There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.” - Mark Twain

    If you are being forced to choose between genocide and worse genocide then you should violently oppose the people forcing you to choose. There is no negotiating with those people. Under no circumstances do the people supporting genocide care about other marginalized people beyond their use as a political token. Our Trans comrades are currently being abandoned by the democratic party. Build a third way or wait for your death to be the lesser evil. This good cop bad cop routine is exactly what got us in to this mess, both cops have a boot on your neck.
