The banality of evil encompasses the feeling of inevitability of war, like absolutely nothing could be done to prevent it. When actually, so much could be done, war is coming because of political choices, and those making them refusing to take responsibility.

But when you see sheep in religious art, they're never Fat-tail sheep. Instead they're always weak-ass European sheep. Entire wars have been waged over interpretations of the bible. Does no one care about sheep accuracy? I mean, how could you exclude these guys?

A reminder that Western regimes could stop this genocide in under a minute by stopping their weapons and financial support to Israel, but that they choose not to and prefer to continue watching people die horrible deaths and we’re not supposed to say anything b/c yt fragility.
