Everything is a matter of perspective.
I wonder if this person thinks his life is ruined:

Or this person:
`Pol Pot stated that his "conscience is clear" but acknowledged that mistakes were made'
- JadeNB 4y ago> `Pol Pot stated that his "conscience is clear" but acknowledged that mistakes were made' I was wondering about the source. This seems to be from a 1997 interview with Robin McDowell: https://apnews.com/article/2a1128d4b0c52563496f1e296df0a229 https://apnews.com/article/2a1128d4b0c52563496f1e296df0a229 .
- jacquesm 4y agoI think Pol Pot was confusing having a clear conscience with having no conscience.
- amalgamated_inc 4y agoJust in terms of percentage, I think Pol Pot must be up there. What was it, 30% of the entire population of the country? Astonishing.
- jacquesm 4y agoThere is that part near the end of 'Der Untergang' (which I think is a fantastic movie for many reasons, and which obviously has nothing to do with Pol Pot) where you can see the ease with which the power hungry were absolutely willing to sacrifice their entire population if it meant that they would hold out a few days longer. The inhumanity of what was happening while at the same time being concerned with their own every day little normal bits of life was such an incredible contrast.
