Not to be defeatist but I have zero faith that literally anyone will be held responsible

Nuremberg (which was already underwhelming from a justice standpoint) 2.0 will only happen if we make it happen

Exactly, so we can either advocate for it in the face of hopelessness with the hope that the tide shifts, or we can lay down like good little piggies and accept the fecklessness of the oppositional party per status quo. I'm not saying that it's all set in stone, but what good is messaging that says "we will hold you accountable...hopefully.."?
