This is indeed horrific. It's also almost standard practice for many nations, including the USA (my country), where whistleblowers are routinely put in prison instead of their information being evaluated seriously.
Mostly afraid of people realizing I'm an academic. Em-dashes are a dead giveaway.
As a former Mormon I find this mildly interesting, but I don't have much hope that large numbers of LDS people will begin to protest against the genocide. The pro-Israel thing is deeply embedded... as in, I'm pretty sure there are an awful lot of LDS people who will see the sacrifice of a million or two Palestinians, even if totally innocent, as a reasonable price to pay for God's Chosen People getting the Land Of The Covenant to usher in the Second Coming.
Even deeper than that: Mormons are mostly herd animals. Dissent has been trained out of them (unless the dissent is authorized by the First Presidency).
Don't forget racists. Plenty of those are drawn to the Mensa labels, too.
This is worth the entire post and more. I'm chuckling while my kid gives me weird looks from the other room.
10 years ago I wouldn't have imagined this, but this is me every time I have to use Windows (e.g., occasionally for work) or help someone else with it.
Imagine staying onboard with someone promoting nearly every horrible thing in our world just so you can have easier email access.
You're doing the dangerous thing: identifying fascism where Americans have been taught it's clearly not possible because it's "our team."
You're right, of course.
I would watch the shit out of this YouTube channel.
Thanks for checking. I'm sad to be right about this.
OK weird thing for me: I'm in the US. If I click that link I get told to go to the US site (savethechildren.org not savethechildren.net) and the US site appears not to have that story, at least not in that form. I used their search function for the article title and found nothing.f
Maybe they just titled it differently and I should search more carefully, but it seems odd right now.
