lol yeah that was 1.5 9/11s but since it was obviously a Republican committing genocide instead of just what everybody secretly suspected was the case when Bush did 9/11, it's just never come up, like how the cultural legacy of Katrina would be nothing but chuds jacking off talking about how they "protected shops" from "feral looters" if it weren't for Kanye

Deliberate Negligence in lieu of zero accountability is the new genocide.

Put them in miserable life or death situations and let them all sort it out on their own. Concentration camps, Puerto Rico, Bahamas.

that's also the old genocide. rounding up a group of people and then simply denying them food and medical care has featured prominently in many major genocides

it's just extra easy in this case because the target group is stuck on an island, so there isn't even any need to round them up

In older times we lacked the science, medicine and resources to benefit everyone and it was literally like 2 generations ago we were busy killing the poo poo out of each other before our political discourse supposedly leveled up on a global scale post WWII. We have the means and the ability nowadays so this makes it even more damning in lieu of zero accountability and ineffectual governance especially when assholes like Pinker profess that we live in the best time in human history because resources have never been more abundant than ever but getting those resources to everyone seems to be an impossibility when its more of an inconvenience for moneymakers that dictate the terms.

Like we literally have the technology provided to us to ascertain just about everything and its being squandered by a bunch of death cultist boomers who hold the keys while abusing said technology to gripe on the twitter, another technology they abuse. loving sick of it.

I have been following reports from the ground closely and it is my belief that Dorian killed thousands in the bahamas. Great Abacos and Grand Bahama islands are basically uninhabitable and it will take years to even begin to address the damage caused.

There is a rapidly emerging humanitarian crisis on those islands- the Bahamian government has control of the ports and food distribution centers but has totally abandoned everything else. Many of the hardest hit areas still have not received any aid a week later. The smell of purifying bodies is omnipresent on the islands, and people are being sickened by eating food/drinking water that has been contaminated by the rotting corpses.

The Bahamian government is trying to keep a tight lid on things and publicly are pretending that they are in control, but conditions on the ground are dire, worsening by the hour, and turning violent:

Eventually enough people will die that equilribrium is reached and humanity invests trillions in making tundra into arable land.

It takes a while to count the dead. More so the more completely loving destroyed a place is.

I do wonder if a lot of the undocumented communities like the mudd will ever see any sort of realistic tally.

So I'm still tuned in to ongoings on the ground in the Bahamas through a variety of local social media accounts that I found, and....... shits getting real bad real fast. like... real real bad real loving fast. There's a ton of unconfirmed reports of disease outbreaks, particularly a cholera like flu. In the videos coming out of there today people look loving emaciated and are starting to not speak very coherently. There are widespread reports of people strait murdering each other for a little bit of water or bread:

Hey Goons! If you want a way to directly and quickly help the situation in the Bahamas- this guy looks legit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWRipFW2s2Y



I stumbled across his video because I'm an obsessive weirdo who loves screwing around with YouTube search parameters and his video popped up. It had literally zero views when I viewed it, this guy has 91 subscribers and I quite literally think this video was just meant for his immediate friends and family to beg for paypal donations for the Rotary Club warehouse in Abaco.

Let's see if we can't make this guy's day a little bit brighter!

Why aren't there boats to evacuate people to, at the very least, the non-hosed parts of the Bahamas?

Every rear end in a top hat with a yacht over there should be pressed into ferry service

This happens with every disaster, official death tolls are bodies attached to names, not just looking at bodies and making a guess.

except in this case it seems there were thousands of direct drowning deaths from the storm and the destruction is so widespread it's hard to count, with Puerto Rico the deaths were from the long term humanitarian crisis that followed the storm which is still ongoing in the Bahamas

there's lots of "firsthand accounts" on Twitter claiming thousands of bodies, yeah

but there's also lots of "firsthand accounts" claiming that bands of roving Haitian thugs are looting and murdering everything in sight, along with heroic white militias fighting off the looters - a narrative that seems to have either originated from or been picked up by Infowars and other fringe right stuff, and will sound familiar to anyone who followed Katrina coverage
