is it unethical to have social relations, be they simple friendship, casual sex, or even an involved relationship with a tool of imperialist genocide? what about domestic agents of genocide, such as cops or prison guards?

is it more dehumanizing to engage in normative social interaction with these individuals than it is to reduce individuals to their participation in harmful social institutions, thereby ruling out social contact with them? if you're engaging in relations with a gay/lady/minority troop/cop/guard, is that less egregious than engaging in the same with individuals who have more agency in seeking stable careers outside of the most brutal institutions on earth? am i a fuckshit? hitler.

Higgins goes through about 450 YouTube channels from Syria every evening. The list includes uploaded footage from activists, rebel brigades and Islamist groups, as well as from Assad supporters and state TV footage. "If EastEnders isn't on I get straight on the laptop. On a good night when nothing much has been posted, it will take me an hour and a half, but I've been looking more closely recently."

Recent activist footage claimed to show the remains of a Chinese-made cluster bomb at the scene of a bombing. Drawing on his online network of fellow weapons-spotters and translators, Higgins established that it was in fact a bicycle pump.
