Well, just look at lemmy users around anything Biden related. No matter what, you’ll get people only talking about Gaza, and disregard all of the other good his administration has done for the 3.5 years they have been working.
This is why politicians wait for the popular, easy wins until its campaigning time. People have a short memory, and it’s always whatever the last big news story is that drives voters.
Supporting genocide and genocidal countries are or about the worst thing that one can do. It’s hard to do enough good to overcome that. I dare say it’s impossible. At least Hitler killed Hitler.
“Winston Churchill once famously observed that Americans will always do the right thing, only after they have tried everything else.”
Langworth has combed through millions of words written by and about Churchill and found no evidence that the former prime minister ever said that about America.
Holy shit man. It was a light-hearted joke about religions being based on faith rather than proof and the commenter’s display name matching that of a widely recognized religious figure.
Eh who wasn’t then. Damn near every western country was cool with eugenics. Though Dachau opened less than 3 months after Hitler was appointed in Jan 1933, WW2 didn’t officially start for over 8 more years, with the invasion of Poland in Sept 1941…Auschwitz 1 wouldn’t have its ribbon-cutting for another 8 months, and extermination camps didn’t really get going for nearly another year and a half after that. And it didn’t officially end for 5 months after the closure of the death camps and Hitler’s suicide, when Japan surrendered.
There have always been progressives. Look at John Brown, violently anti-racist when most of society accepted a racial caste system as normal. We should hold the past to the same standard as the present, not dismiss old problems as “of the times.”
It was predictable that this would get delayed to an election year… but at least fucking finally!!!

I’m so sorry that GENOCIDE is close to the worst thing to support/do.

BS, they’re ignored when you insert them into arbitrary conversations to provoke a reaction

You’re not really in a position to be criticizing people for lack of evidence, Jesus.
God is totally his dad! His mom said so, so it must be true!
No, no! That’s not Jesus, that’s Jésus. He makes excellent menudo
Menudo?

Here’s an idea! You should change your name to include insufferable so it’s super relevant
Churchill really was a genius
And also a horrible racist
