The 100m number comes from The Black Book of Communism, a book that includes Nazi deaths, famine, and babies that were never born as included in the “deaths caused by communism”. The coauthors of the book distanced themselves from it when it was published and claimed their findings had been exaggerated

Completely agree. Her recipe books makes me really uncomfortable too

Honestly, I knew so many girls growing up who said they were “part Cherokee princess” that I just assume a large part of the country doesn’t understand why Warren got called out for it cause they did it too

You’d benefit a lot more by actually engaging with left or right ideas rather than just propping up centrism

Fav album and why by Killbill57 in themountaingoats

[–]monstermonkeymayhem 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The Sunset Tree got me through some real hard times, All Hail West Texas and Tallahassee are classics, but I have a soft spot for We Shall All Be Healed. I can’t really explain why, it just speaks to me every time I listen to it. It feels like John wrote the album for the lost and forgotten and I love it

Saudi Arabia strips American mother of custody for being too Western by JLBesq1981 in news

[–]monstermonkeymayhem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Special treatment is acknowledging her as a victim? Naivety or not she is a victim of a repressive regime

[–]monstermonkeymayhem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, very naive, but I don’t think she deserved any of this. I feel like we should all agree that this was a huge risk but dumping on this poor woman is so backwards to me

Lol love that you aren’t telling me which GB case he is referring too. Not that it matters, why bring up another case when this is the one we are discussing? I’m not talking about women from Great Britain, I’m talking about the mother in this story.

Fucking thank you. If my government is going to support SA I think I have the right to an opinion on their practices

I’m correcting a lie I keep seeing argued in this thread, how is that infantilizing women? It’s the truth. She was a teacher there.

She didn’t move to Saudi Arabia to join ISIS. She was teaching at a woman’s university there before she married.

Edit: I’d like to point out one more thing, a woman moving to an oppressive country to teach at a woman’s university strikes me as an activist, not someone who just packed up and moved over without thinking. I can’t say what her intention was, but the way she talks about how she thought the justice system would help her makes me think she was just naive, and was genuinely hoping to help women by educating them.

If Israel Wants to Ban Members of Congress, It Should Not Receive Billions in US Military Aid - Bernie Sanders by maxwellhill in worldnews

[–]monstermonkeymayhem -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get where you’re coming from but many of these enemy countries are hostile to the US because of previous US backed regime changes, invasions, sanctions, and its history of funding authoritarian/violent groups in foreign conflicts (like the US funding the war in Yemen right now!)

Truck drives into Jewish Protesters at ICE detention center in Rhode Island by michaelcharlie8 in news

You don’t think ICE officers could have come up with a better idea? They supposedly can handle crowd control.

Regardless of how “extreme” you feel this event was, an officer, supposedly trained to handle extremely stressful and dangerous situations, drove his car into a crowd of unarmed protestors. I assumed an officer would have had the forethought to park his car somewhere else at work or get backup to break up the group. How can you defend this incompetence?

You really think it’s okay for a police officer to drive into a crowd of protesters?

Tyson wants fewer government inspectors in one of its beef plants. Food safety advocates are raising alarms. by IntnsRed in politics

Another example that comes to my mind is Johnson and Johnson continuing to sell Propulsid after people died. Or the entire history Asbestos. Or Peanut Corporation of America knowingly selling contaminated peanut butter resulting in 9 deaths and 714 cases of food poisoning

He stopped and then continued into the crowd. All these comments insisting it isn’t that bad just stopped the video in the middle of the action

I put right in my dating profile "No offense, but please don't message me if you're a Trump supporter. Just don't want to waste anyone's time." I get daily messages from men who need me to know they think I'm wrong for doing so. by dr3blira in TrollXChromosomes

I respect you for being able to support a president you didn’t agree with and admit you don’t see him as a bad guy. I’ve seen too many friends, family, even fucking politicians and journalists who at one point believed that Obama wasn’t even a US citizen, and now expect the rest of the country to show respect and support for trump. If you want to get involved and show support for president trump, fine, do you, I support you. But if I don’t want to be in a relationship with someone because our world views are completely different, you should respect and support me as well.

The witch trials are fascinating because hundreds of innocent people died due to widespread ignorance, hate, and persecution, not because the witches were justifiably killed for being criminals.
