    The "most bombed per capita" people in the world are "defenseless peasants" in the 1970s words of #ChomskyAndHerman in #PEHR #AfterTheCataclysm.. #SubsistenceFarmers, I wonder when this term came into use? I'm guessing after the 70s...

  2. A defenseless peasant population getting bombed is "fighting", look at the photo!?!?!
