The fact that people could be so evil, its such a foreign concept to me I guess, like I knew there were serial killers and sadistic torturers out there, but just learning about the history of the soviet union, how they put so much effort into making things look fine, when they’re actually not. Its one thing to affect an individual’s life with an act, but to infuse that view on the entire world, doesn’t that narcissism and self-deception, even with good intentions, not shake your soul to the very core?
Keep in mind that the author exaggerates a lot. Especially when he cites any kind of numbers, those are entirely anecdotal.
I do acknowledge that, but its kind of hard to put a proper estimate too it when Soviet Union record keeping was either also exaggerated or taken out of existence, what do you I should do as a good middle ground?
