The amusing and irrelevant sole link at the end of the article:

Yeah, I put Hyperion/Hyperion series since the series is not for everyone.

I personally enjoyed the Endymion books, some people enjoy Fall of Hyperion and leave it at that.

Ok so since you’re doing sci-fi as well, Hyperion/Hyperion series.

Belgian Congo/Jewish Holocaust is right up there. I wouldn’t say a specific person but innumerable people involved.

King Leopold and Hitler were THE authority, so ultimately they signed off on the death and suffering of millions of Congolese and Jews (and other minorities) respectively.

For the Congo: imagine a father staring at the severed hand and foot of his five year old daughter. That’s a photograph searchable online, and needs to be seen to understand the violence and dehumanism of colonialism.

For the holocaust: we have all seen at least one picture. But imagine a baby being smashed against a wall because it wouldn’t stop crying. Pretty women (maybe even underage girls) being raped. To say just a small part of the atrocities of the holocaust.

Well, I haven’t even included Unit 731. General Shiro Ishii.

Now, what to say about today in 2026? Who’s to say these atrocities are not being repeated?
