“A Single Death Is a Tragedy…”; Saudi Edition

“A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic. — Joseph Stalin”

It’s not that Kashoggi’s death isn’t a crime, but that any number of nameless people can be killed, raped, and tortured, and elites don’t care. It’s only when it’s one of them that they care.

Normal people are nothing–less than nothing–to our elites.

But they take care of their own.
