The Nazis never believed they were the “pure” ones. They believed that their generation, and the generation they gave birth to, were already lost causes and their children’s children would be the first vanguard of their “perfect” Aryan race.

Also, they were armed with new AR-15 rifles, which not all of them had been trained to handle yet. The rookie who, by his own admission, was handling the rifle in the following car said he fell (he was standing up) and believed the weapon discharged as the car accelerated, as his hand automatically gripped tighter due to the sudden acceleration. This is further muddied by the fact that the SS probably stole parts of the remains to cover up the fact they might have accidentally killed JFK.

Haley isn’t really afraid to say the quiet part loud.

Killing two government employees in a highly-public incident that potentially people can see over the US tends to be bad for trust in your company, no matter how much of a duopoly they have over the passenger aviation market.

Their current nuclear policy if they believe someone is going to credibly deploy nuclear weapons against the French is to fire a nuclear-tipped air-to-ground missile at the power in question, as a warning shot.

You forgot lead in the soil from all the lead in the air. That’s biting us in the ass now, since a lot of plants we eat are REALLY good at taking in heavy metals.

You forgot that this government has spent years telling their people that literally everyone in Palestine is supportive, materially or otherwise, of Hamas.

A LOT of insular religious communities and congregations use it to “make right” cases of sexual assault and rape - since the Bible specifically says if someone rapes your daughter, the rapist has to marry them.

Yeah, blood atonement was what I was thinking of.

Don’t forget that there are still some people trying to make Blood Libel a thing again in the mainline church as well!

There’s a good reason nobody’s domesticated them.

Most waste isn’t spent fuel, it’s tools and clothes and PPE and steel and other bits that have been directly exposed to radiation long enough to become radioactive.

TBF, Avery Brooks fought like hell to get Far Beyond The Stars as uncomfortable as it was. Berman and the network wanted it to be a trite little story about a sci-fi writer; almost all the racism, discrimination, etc was Brooks pushing back on them.

Uhhhh what? It sure as fuck does, in many regions of the world, and HAS for centuries. It even works that way in the US, in a lot of places - unless you happen to be in a weirdly cutthroat-capitalist area somehow.

Moreover, surrendering whatever Russia sticks a flag in is appeasement nonsense. We’ve already seen this strategy before WWII: *oh, Germany will be OK if we just cede Czechoslovakia. Oh, Germany won’t attack if we cede Alsace-Lorraine…" An aggressive power like Russia, who already tried to annex large portions of another sovereign nation in 2008 (they invaded Georgia and got their shit kicked in because they tried the whole “three day thunder run” strategy), almost certainly will not stop if you just “give them what they want”. Eventually, they’ll want more, and more, and more, and you wind up surrendering slice after slice after slice of your country.

This one makes sense if the parents are old enough to have used silver nitrate film. Really old film can, and will, just catch fire on on its own if it’s even moderately hot and dry.

He also claimed the war didn’t leave him with any bad memories, but he’s got a whole marsh where dead people pull other people into the bog to drown.

Weirdly totally not about the Somme according to Tolkien.

I believe the Sermon on the Mount essentially says “clothe the naked, feed the hungry, take care of the sick.”. No limits on time.

The Didoche was written in an era where Christian communities generally had little wealth and were constantly in danger of arrest or execution. This is NOT the case in most places now, and especially not in the US, which this meme is referencing.

Nobody who’s suggesting state assistance is suggesting that we “take care” of people forever, at least not under the current system. Indeed, the data pretty easily shows that if you give people a place to stay, solid food aid, and some cash to deal with bills and miscellania, they start being functioning members of society, and get jobs and start the detox process or whatever interventions they need, really quick, like within months. This has been trialed even in the US in places like Denver, and it works.

So what you’re really saying is “I don’t want more of my money going to helping other people.” Have fun being the richest man in the cemetery.

Green is running Stein again, I thought? Except she’s gone pretty much towards the same extreme isolationism as Oliver and RFK.

Every name that’s been floated polls worse and has SOME form of baggage attached, or is a complete and utter unknown.
