      hahahaha holy shit the corruption in this rebellion is breathtaking my favorite part is that army commanders often were able to simply steal death benefits from the families of soldiers killed, and so they went out of their way to see as many of their own slain as possible

      one thing I think about a lot that other people don't seem to is that genocide is actually something close to a human norm throughout history and maybe you should include that as a local tail risk
