    I agree with the sentiment in context of these “next level” atrocities, for lack of better way to phrase it.

    But I disagree with “No one person commits atrocities alone; there must be some backing”. Plenty of atrocities have happened because one person decided to be a dickhead

        Oh yeah, geopolitical is probably a better way to phrase it than “next level”.

        That I agree with. I just felt like saying “nobody commits atrocities alone” removes some blame from some monsters out there that have done terrible shit.

          Oh absolutely. That’s why I made a point to qualify it like that. Atrocities can go from a mass shooting carried out by one person to a genocide carried out by an entire government.
