Your version of former US greatness is as illusory as the MAGA version. Didn't we just celebrate the agricultural co-opting of resources by the Pilgrims? That's 400 years. This country started 250 years ago. We fought & killed people for every inch of territory we've added since.

"Stop thinking," as a command, is impossible to obey.
But we have long-since stopped hoping for any help from the ICC. What hope can there be that they might enforce any arrest of Trump or Netanyahu or any other well-connected war criminal?

I don't know the legal ramifications, but would it be possible to resubmit the commercialized crap under a revised title and keep the original to submit to a different agent/publisher?
Like, you have now written both Tom Sawyer AND Huckleberry Finn.
