Nothing as American as the exploitation of Black bodies..

Fantastic to hear, thank you!

And yet? I want everybody to shut up about it because we have far more pressing issues at hand. When it comes to women’s sports the public has made up their mind and the facts don’t matter.

So do I, which is why I reported those comments to be removed, but then realised that the only mod in the community agrees, and so they wouldn't only not be removed, but more of them would be encouraged, which I think is unacceptable, especially if the instance hosting them has rules against bigotry, which is what this is.

Undercurrent?!

This is a prime example of how the MSM serves and normalises fascism for its owners benefit.

The number of defensive whining from libs in the replies to the OP beg to differ lol, they clearly very much do give a shit. So you keep slapping them in the face with reality until they can't hide from it anymore, and they have to make a choice, pick a side, and be comfortable with their own decision, and the consequences it brings (including *shock horror*, being called what they choose to be - right wingers and fascism enablers, meanwhile the rest of us have the consequences of said fascism to face).

Leftists coddling liberal feeling is just as productive (E: to progress) as liberals coddling fascist feelings, that is to say - it isn't, at all. We're long past the point of prioritising privileged feelings over marginalised lives.

And bend his knee faster than you can blink

So I'm glad he was compensated, but I struggle to take his stance seriously when he works for a neoliberal think tank and genuinely believes his personal travel arrangements make any difference whatsoever when someone like him should definitely be aware that billionaires emit more carbon pollution in 90 minutes than the average person does in a lifetime (spare me the "every little help" platitude, at the scales we're discussing here, this person's itinerary makes zero difference, and only serves to alleviate his personal guilt. The only difference we can make as individuals is to unite and tear down the systems that are actually destroying the planet, and the people responsible).

Yeah, I get where you're coming from, and I like your design (though agree it could be a little easier to read) but feel like this is playing in to the "he's not a nazi" narrative his supporters are trying to push, when he is in fact, a nazi, as well as a regime enabling industrialist. The two aren't mutually exclusive, and we should be calling the nazi spade a nazi spade at every opportunity.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for composting elon, but that alone won't change much.

Never forget - we are many, they are few, there is enough composting to go around, but more importantly, we need to already be creating the foundations for an alternative, better, society, so that when we abolish the systems that currently govern ours, we have a solid and equitable framework to fall back on and build from.

I grew up with one of the 9000 who survived those death marches, being a kind of foster-gran to me (some of my biological, and step, grandparents survived their own ordeals, but not in Auschwitz. Either way, it is not a surprise that none of them were really up for the job of being loving cuddly grandparents, or raising loving cuddly parents to be, and needed to share the task with others).

She was only 12 at the time, and watched her mother, who she was separated from when they arrived at the camp and never expected to see again, die on the side of a snowy road. She herself only survived that long because the Nazis found her attractive enough to keep around and abuse.

Actually visiting the place made me physically ill, and it still pops up in my nightmares.

On a less personal note, there are of course a lot of worthwhile and important documentaries to watch about the holocaust and Auschwitz in particular, do, but if you only watch one, I think The US and the Holocaust is the most relevant to our times that I have seen in a very very long time, and if it were up to me it would be compulsory viewing for everyone as soon as they are old enough to understand.

Another that comes to mind is Night Will Fall which contains footage from the much harder to find German Concentration Camps Factual Survey that was made during and immediately after liberation, but kept hidden away for decades. (E: if you're in the UK and want to watch it, I've just seen that Night Will Fall is on tonight at midnight on ch4)

Those who refuse to learn from history are deemed to repeat it, which is precisely why we're all only taught a whitewashed version of it.

None of those ever existed to protect you.

Thanks for the heads up.

OP - my feedback is fix this.
