    I hate this.

    I hate when good people step down.

    They just open the door for some tool to step in and make the problem normal.

      Good people letting themselves be complicit in bad things, whilst they are powerless to do good, helps no one.

          I mean, cool, but he’s 64 and is retiring. He started at the UN in '92. He announced that he would retire in March of this year. Most sources list that now.

            So it’s more of a ‘i don’t need to deal with this insane bullshit so I’m taking my very healthy retirement package and heading out’ more than a ‘im taking a moral stand and leaving my dream career over this insane bullshit’

            Good headlines though.
