    I literally acknowledged that perspective is important like three times in those paragraphs. Sorry I have a bit of an autistic fixation on this. I get it. The victims of the Tsars deserve our tears more than Alexei does. I literally said that already. But idk any mention of the Romanov deaths is going to trigger a response from be because its a fixation. It was one of the things I struggled with for the longest time because of my difficulty accepting the idea that a child’s death is ever a “pragmatic necessity”. So its still very much on my mind to this day.

    ETA: Its also worth noting that just because I make one post focusing on a topic doesnt mean I’m not upset about the “imperial exploitation grinding up hundreds of thousands of kids a year”. Honestly, I do speak up about that but sometimes I feel like it goes without saying. I dont understand this frequent idea presented that because you write about one thing, you dont care about the other more important thing.
