The cruelty is a feature, not a bug

In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again. ~ Anne Frank

Poor Anne didn't live long enough to know that her belief was mistaken. Maybe that's a blessing of a kind.

Or maybe it is just all cyclical and the wheel turns again. Ann Frank had her moment of posthumous glory, as did MLK Jr, and the wheel turns and now the leader of Israel dodges international war crimes arrest as he shares counsel with the leader of Hungary. The names change, the roles and script remain. The wheel turns. The days of passover approach and Benjamin Netanyahu faithlessly takes upon himself responsibilities of divine retrubution.
