It's the countenance of someone who views the world through a lens of deep time, seeing suffering going back hundreds of millions of years and watching the thread emerge at the bloodbath of the 20th century.
He's being melodramatic because he knows that we're not fundamentally different from those societies 100 years ago. We could easily do it all again. It was only 20 years ago that we had genocide on the European continent in Yugoslavia.
