Fury and a list

(saved and not posted, from Wednesday)

Get me the fuck out of here. I'm stagnating in Charlottesville- this has been a terrible day: I could stand not seeing another flower for a good long time, the weather's nasty, the power's out, and on top of all that it's hit me like a ton of bricks that I'm only getting bitterer and more ingrown here. I think I'll go to California; calculations need to be made to figure out how much I need to get there and get set up.

Yesterday's list: systematic governmental oppressions of the 20th century
:: Turkey against the Armenians, 1915-1917
:: Japanese internment camps, California, 1942-5
:: Soviet suppression of the Hungarian revolution, 1956
:: Stalin's Great Purges, USSR, late 1930's
:: Preliminary stages and Endlösung der Judenfrage, German-controlled territory 1933-45
:: South African apartheid, 1948-1994
:: Israel's attitude toward the Palestinians, 1948-present
:: Darfur conflict, 2003-present
:: US-supported Contra activity in Nicaragua, 1978-1988
:: the Argentine National Reorganization Process, 1976-83
:: Yugoslav and Serbian repression of Kosovo, 1981-98
:: Treatment of dissenters during the presidency of Augusto Pinochet, Chile, 1973-90
:: the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia, 1975-9
more, suggest
