Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I read a book a long time ago called Travellers in the Third Reich. It was crazy how so many people (usually rich socialites and failsons) went to Nazi Germany and just got on like everything was normal. They went to parties and went sightseeing and drank with friends as if everything was fine, even knowing how reprehensible the Nazis were.
I get the impression that it's pure treat brain. People want to have their fun holidays and look at the tourist sites before they want to stop genocide.
There's a Swedish police procedural series from the '60s written by Marxists and in one installment a detective rips into a lady trying to seduce him because she'd been vacationing in junta-led Greece.
That's hilarious. A true comrade detective.
During the US Civil War people used to go picnic on hills near battlefields to watch it all happen.
People are weird
They also would have black mothers breastfeed at carnivals, so white people could play "hit the n***** baby” by throwing baseballs at the babies' stomachs, to watch them vomit. And used black children as gator bait.
