I had this really awesome kind of angry and nihilistic history teacher in H.S. who offered an elective course that studied the repeated patterns through history leading up to genocide. It covered Armenia, Rwanda, and the Holocaust.
I don’t know if it was just the fact that we looked at the repeated overlaps between human behavior vs just memorizing historical events, but if more people took a course like Crimes against Humanity maybe they would be able to spot the clear patterns of human behavior that somehow happen over and over again.
push back the second a nazi takes an inch as they will take more if you play the nice and tolerate. Not everyone is well intentioned.
Yep, the Holocaust didn’t happen overnight. It’s always starts as a slow slide into genocide, but once it picks up steam it turns into an avalanche. It drives me nuts that people keep pretending we should be entertaining any of this as just normal politics. The reaching across the aisle bullshit was insane a year ago (and really 10 years ago), but at this point it is literally enabling this shit to happen. You’re a collaborator.

The same day Charlie Kirk was assassinated, Democrats in the Senate called for an investigation into Epstein’s connections to big banks and leaders in Israel, but Republicans blocked release of the files… Again
But nobody has even really noticed yet bc Republicans have been using every opportunity to call for civil war ever since

When you realize how low the bar is, you should never have imposter syndrome again.
Literally that is why people keep joining this grift. If you’re willing to pledge loyalty, take advantage of people, and help destroy your own country, you can make bank.
The people that fund the right refuse to let a penny of their money go towards taxes to pay for public services, but they will literally throw absurd amounts of money at anything that promotes their agenda.

There has been concern that China has been running medical exams on Uyghur prisoners in camps to find close matches for recipients and decrease chances of complications
Rogers noted one chilling possibility: that “murdered prisoners of conscience (i.e., Uyghurs held in detention camps)” could be a source of transplanted organs.
This suggestion becomes even more concerning when considering the extensive surveillance and repression that Uyghurs face in the region. Detainees in the many internment camps in Xinjiang have reported being subjected to forced blood tests, ultrasounds, and organ-focused medical scans. These procedures align with organ compatibility testing, raising fears that Uyghurs are being prepped for organ harvesting while in detention.

I mean some people have more money than ever to buy stuff. That’s the market that most of these things are being targeted to. Just consider everyone that isn’t extremely wealthy an obsolete product being phased out of production.
Keep restricting birth control and encouraging higher birthrates as early death numbers continue to climb in the U.S. due to a lack of safety regulations and overdoses.
Restrict what can be purchased using government aid to healthy options. Not bc you care about helping poor people to be healthy, but bc you know you might end up needing them for spare parts.
‘Horrifying’ mistake to take organs from a living person was averted, witnesses say
Natasha Miller says she was getting ready to do her job preserving donated organs for transplantation when the nurses wheeled the donor into the operating room. She quickly realized something wasn’t right. Though the donor had been declared dead, he seemed to her very much alive. “He was moving around — kind of thrashing. Like, moving, thrashing around on the bed,” Miller told NPR in an interview. “And then when we went over there, you could see he had tears coming down. He was crying visibly.” The donor’s condition alarmed everyone in the operating room at Baptist Health hospital in Richmond, Ky., including the two doctors, who refused to participate in the organ retrieval, she says.
"So the coordinator calls the supervisor at the time. And she was saying that he was telling her that she needed to ‘find another doctor to do it’ – that, 'We were going to do this case. She needs to find someone else,’ " Miller says. “And she’s like, ‘There is no one else.’ She’s crying — the coordinator — because she’s getting yelled at.”

I had to scroll for a while but came just for the sucks at eating popcorn discussion.
My husband’s first job was working at a movie theatre sweeping the floors between movies. When we met like 10 years later, I learned he had a weird stereotype about white women not being able to eat popcorn without making a complete mess.
When I asked why, he said it was just something he’d noticed when he worked at the movie theatre. He went into this rant about the most ridiculous amount of popcorn he’d ever had to sweep up being when the theatre was showing the Divine Secrets of the Yaya Sisterhood. “The entire floor was like a carpet layer of popcorn!,” “It was like they had all been throwing it up in the air throughout the whole movie!,” and “What were they even doing?!?” Even to this day he still brings it up when someone mentions that movie or
- Comment on Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files? 2 months ago:
Well specifically, it is still an ongoing investigation. What happened was Pam Bondi had the first half of files in her office, made a big public announcement about having requested all remaining files and waiting on them to be delivered, wrote a letter to Kash Patel about it and publicly released it.
Then when she read whatever was in that second half of files that got delivered to her, she suddenly wasn’t so eager to release it. Image
