Ted Cruz will carpet bomb them, if he can findāemā¦
The Boko Haram are behind some of the most horrible crimes against humanity that, right behind ISIS. And it depresses me terribly to think of the suffering they are causing, i donāt really understand why but such is cruelty i suppose. I donāt know if itās because i donāt watch TV but i get the distinct impression that people are trying real hard to ignore and forget they exist instead of taking any real action. I know iām ignorant of a lot of facts, and iād love to be wrong but thatās the impression i get when i see stuff about them.
It boils down to āno one we know or care about lives there.ā
It is a stark reminder that real evil still exists in this world and real terror and tradegy are befalling innocent people.
It makes nearly all the problems we have in the US or Europe rather petty by comparison.
Iām sure heāll be able to find someone to carpet bomb.
Nigeria doesnāt have anything we want. Really, I think itās that simple.
The amount of man-made horror in the world is staggering. We would all remain permanently drunk/high or commit suicide if we truly understood.

It has oil, the worldās most profitable cybercriminals, and a government whose corruption used to be the benchmark in which we measured all other corrupt nations.

(sorry, again a Strange Map. kind of XKCD for everything geographical)
I think I get the gist of it, but translation?
quick-and-dirty
World Map of Tragedy
How terrible a tragedy is seen by the world
What an awful tragedy!
Oh no, how sad. [why do we have a red circle but only a yellow heart?]
Well, thatās life [a book? a fucking green book?]
Wait. Thatās a country?
Meh [No symbol with brown. So hereās a bread]
That about sums it up.
This was the great lesson from the opening of Sam & Max Hit the Road. (queued up to the relevant part at 4:38)
On it.
Thatās part of it.
The other part is exemplified in something my dad used to say. āWhen you are confronted by a rattlesnake, you can only kill it, or leave it alone. Thereās no third option.ā
What about catching it live? Then you can sell it, breed it, or milk it for venomā¦
Catching Boko Haram live would probably cost about 10x as many lives as just killing it, but with that caveat Iāll accept your commentā¦
