I spent some time in Cambodia, and the parallels look chilling. I really hope Myanmar doesn't walk the same road.
Anyone in Apple: this is what Cambodian-style fanaticism and genocide looks like when it starts. You can be on the right side of history, or you can make a profit. Your choice. Choose now.
For anyone interested, this site documents SOME of the business interests of the military junta and its cronies.
That was the thing that chilled me to the core in Cambodia - the absolute wanton disregard for human life. People were killed for absolutely no reason. Later, they didn't even use bullets, preferring to beat victims to death. When the worth of a human life is less than the worth of a single bullet, that's so fucking scary it's hard to put into words.
Like I said, I really hope Myanmar doesn't walk the same road. But I fear it will. And I fear that the West will sit around and do nothing because realpolitik means that these peoples' lives are worth nothing. And then there will be a great wringing of hands and wailing about human rights like there has been in Cambodia.
Again, if you work at Apple, do something now. Or look back with guilt and regret.
One thing you could do is to raise awareness about this and maybe donate, if you can, or support these groups: https://www.mutualaidmyanmar.org/ https://www.justiceformyanmar.org/
