Cryptofascists will cite dead children to justify slaughtering many times more children in retaliation, each and every time, because they see those that are killed in that retaliation as less than human.
What does this have to do with cryptography??
I assume you're joking but just in case you're not (or for the sake of people reading this that didn't catch it) by crypto- as a prefix I mean deceptively veiled fascist ideology that pretends to be something else or justified in some ostensibly politically acceptable way.

Why assume he's joking? It's probably the first time many are hearing that term.
Because I assumed that not many would immediately associate cryptofascism with cryptography.
I was not joking. If you say "crypto" without specifying, then you'd expect cryptography.
This chapter on photovoltaics says nothing at all about composiiton, foreground, perspective. What a useless book!
Nobody is justifying the killing of children here except Israel supporters.
A Russian soldier who kills a child should be tried for war crimes. On June 1st, the UN said 525 children had been killed. The majority of those would have been killed by Ukrainian military, but it's okay if you think Russia bares the responsibility for those as well, since Russia did invade the country. Though it would be misleading to not mention that the children killed by Ukraine in the civil war 2014-2022 is also around 525.
Russia invaded Feb 28, that's 600 ish days ago, so on average one child dies as a result of this war every day. In the last 17 days, Israel has killed 'nearly' 2500 children. That's 'nearly' 150 every single day. We're outraged by both, but Israel's slaughter needs to stop 150 times more urgently. Further, there is no argument, no security necessity, no motivation that can be attributed to Israel more convincing than pure hatred and a desire to steal land in order to explain why they are doing this. That means that the condemnation doesn't deserve nuance. It needs to stop. Israel is the villain.
