This is such a sad indictment of a society that once was a beacon for many - no wonder they got Trump

That's worrying.


Explains why they are kicking off about the migrant concentration camps which are sterilising them as well.

Trump can't criticise China as he's copying them in that respect.

The fact that 23% of the respondents think the holocaust is a “myth” is truly frightening. It means many of those polled cannot (or refuse to through rejection of truth) place the current treatment of immigrants and other “undesirable” groups of people in the horrid historical context necessary to understand where things are likely going and why it is paramount that the march toward those atrocities be stopped. Many of them probably think legitimate, fully sourced reporting about the immigrant concentration camps are fake news and thus nothing to actually worry about. Or they simply don’t care about anyone but themselves or — worse yet — take delight in the suffering of those people outside of their affinities.

But that trend has been present for a few decades now, unfortunately, with the further democratisation of “information”, the dissolution of collectively agreed-upon facts, and the resurgence of violent “othering” more easily amplified by new mass engagement systems.

It is often said that Britain won't stop banging on about WW2 - however with all the movies and documentaries on our screens it does mean that Britons are well aware of the war, its battles, the barbarity and the holocaust. The far right will always peddle the "holocaust is a myth" lie but I think we should have a sense of pride that most school kids here are fully aware of the horrors of war. My kids are in their early 20's now but both were shown Schindlers List in history classes. And for me thats a good thing.

We indeed should take pride in our kids being aware (to the fullest extent possible) of the horrible atrocities of the holocaust and how to place current/future events in related context to hopefully avoid anything even remotely similar from happening in the realms they can influence.

But that great awareness and/or acknowledgement, even in Britain, is trending in a troubling direction. The ‘great lie’ is being sown more widely and is growing in the minds of more young people around the world.

There are many proposed causes for that, but the relatively much greater ease by which gullible, ignorant, and/or unintelligent people can be convinced of wholly false (or very suspect) information circulating on the internet at astounding rates of dissemination (which plays in to the human psyche horribly well) is high among them.

We are seeing only *some* of the tragic consequences of that now.

MeanehileFlorida Target store



We are fucked! These cunts know they’re highly unlikely to even get sick from COVID, but they’re willing to do this shit in large stores with elderly shoppers and families in them!

I’m beginning to rethink my whole “don’t shoot unarmed people” stance. Think of it as euthanasia for America!

UFB!

Related note...

Wife and daughter just headed down to FL to clean up her 80 yr old parents condo, and check on Hurricane Sally damage/flooding.

Flight full of mask wearers, as it’s required onboard and in airport terminals. Getting of the plane, woman puts her mask away and starts walking down the aisle. Flight attendant says,
“Ma’am, you have to wear you mask, please”
“Honey, we don’t do that down here in Florida!”
“Well, Ma’am, you have to wear it on the aircraft and in the terminal, but what you do outside is your business.”
Woman stops dead in her tracks, makes big show of rummaging through her bag to find her mask (which the airlines will even give you if you don’t have one) and proceeds to put it on slowly and dramatically before storming off!

9/11 = About 3,000 deaths
COVID = About 200,000 deaths

That’s a 9/11 EVERY DAY for over TWO MONTHS!

Or, a 9/11 EVERY THREE WEEKS!!!
