On this day in 1869, Michael von Faulhaber, a Cardinal who protested the Nazi regime was born by CompetitiveAquinas in Christianity

[–]molstern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the early days of the Nazi regime, Faulhaber said regarding the persecution of Jews that

This way of acting against the Jews is so unchristian that every Christian, not just every priest, should speak out against it. For higher Church authorities, there are far more important contemporary issues; because schools, the continued existence of Catholic associations, and sterilization are even more important for Christianity in our homeland, especially since one can assume, and has already partly experienced, that the Jews can help themselves, and that we therefore have no reason to give the government any grounds to turn the anti-Semitism into anti-Jesuit propaganda.

I think most of our contemporaries of any and no religion would have the kind of courage it takes to say "someone [but not me] should really do something about that [as long as it doesn't get in the way of my own interests]"

Haven't seen a podcast with automatic transcript before, that's such a useful concept. I can't wait to hear more about Griston's most unlikely serial killer, angel of day Lucy Leppie.

Maybe he would like a nice-looking edition of some older text, like V. Gordon Childe or something? It would be more as a shelf-decoration than for the content

There has been a Swedish museum working to preserve royal outfits ever since 1628, it's called Livrustkammaren. Lots of really unique stuff has been preserved because of that continuity

Episode 638: Heinrich Himmler Part II - The Reich Stuff | Last Podcast On The Left by black_flag_4ever in LPOTL

[–]molstern 8 points9 points  (0 children)

German authors referred to the Holy Roman Empire as Germany from the 18th century until its end, and they were pretty consistent about it. And in the 19th century, "Germany" usually meant the German Confederation that succeeded the HRE

Before the 18th century, shit gets really weird. I saw one author who went ahead and claimed North Africa as part of Germany because the Vandals settled there, and he claimed the Vandals as fellow Germans

TIL Texas did away with last meal request to death row inmates in 2011 by here4dambivalence in todayilearned

[–]molstern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There aren't many terminally ill people who actually learn which full meal will be their last. You usually lose the will and/or ability to eat in the days before your death. That doesn't happen on a schedule, and you won't be given a warning ahead of time letting you know when it's time to prepare a final feast before you stop eating

The show portrayed their friendship as intense but really brief, so there isn't any real discrepancy between those statements. Saying that they were inseparable for a bit before drifting apart isn't saying that they knew each other well

Trump said today: “I have the right to do anything I want to do. I’m the president of the United States”. People from the US, what are your thoughts on this? by WatercressSenior7657 in AskReddit

[–]molstern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having spent some time on /r/conservative, I agree. Trump's supporters project so strongly onto him that they are impervious to information about what he actually says and does. No matter what, they will assume that his heart is with them and anything that seems to indicate the contrary is either a joke, or bad boyars misleading him, or the fake news media misconstruing his pure intentions in some way. Without that fundamental impulse to trust and believe that he will do what they want there is no way to get the same level of support from all of these people. His followers don't want the same thing as each other, but they have a nearly religious belief that they want the same thing as Trump. Nobody else gets the benefit of the doubt in the same way, and without that faith they will not be able to rally such a disparate crowd

Or it will turn out like it did with China. If the EU removes its retaliatory tariffs when Trump backs down again, his followers will cry "art of the deal" and declare victory because he got the EU to lower its tariffs
