Today is the anniversary of the Hiroshima Genocide by the US Army. In a few seconds, 70,000 innocent civilians- men, women, children- died for the crime of being Japanese in one of the most blatant acts of genocide in world history.

I didn’t prepare anything for this occasion, but here is a post from Rad Geek People’s Daily commemorating the occasion.

As far as I am aware, the atomic bombing of the Hiroshima city center, in which forces acting on behalf of the United States government deliberately targeted a civilian center and killed over half of all the people living in the city at the time, remains the deadliest act of terrorism in the history of the world.

Incidentally, if I had still been an Objectivist at the time, this 2006 diatribe on Capitalism Magazine would have probably gotten me to curse Ayn Rand and decapitate her corpse. Any ideology which can support and justify such an irrational and horrifyingly immoral conclusion must be eradicated from the Earth.
