You ever hear about the charisma of historical dictators and wonder how the fuck we got Trump?

Dude I love the guys that are like “well WaPo isn’t reporting it and the Americans didn’t email me specifically about their plans to resist so they must all be rolling over”

There’s a fediverse drama post that goes into a little more detail. Also has some additional context regarding why the og mods dumped .blahaj.

The context is important - “morals” covers both “I think drinking is/isn’t an inherently morally irresponsible activity” and “I want to gas minorities”, and one of those has slightly higher stakes. You can understand the latter often happens because small town america might not have ever met minority groups, or somehow figures the small immigrant community with delicious food is “one of the few good ones” - that doesn’t make their “morals” any less reprehensible.

Great odds border agents are just taking them home. Which I’m sure absolutely nobody would even consider taking advantage of for nefarious purposes.

Because they definitely aren’t supporting anyone that resembles putler - I mean hitler

There’s really no point in barring you because you can always just quit to menu and load back in. Even mid boss fight you’ll just respawn outside the boss fog.

Regulations? Being written for good reason? Preposterous.

I hear barotrauma is pretty much instantaneous, hell you could even send me to go work on some undersea cables for a bit and just don’t tell me when my time’s up

There must be a word for the “le very civil discussion” dorks that seem to inhabit every ideology - say the most outlandish shit and yet pose themselves as put together and respectable when you call them a fuckhead.

I don’t really support death row, but I did always wonder - do they ever ask the prisoners if they have a preference? I feel like I’d take the good ole’ guillotine over asphixiation.

Nuremberg Trials (en.wikipedia.org)
 

One of the most interesting details about the Nuremberg trials, which I only learned from the ever excellent Robert Evans on a podcast, is the controversy over how many of the crimes Nazis were executed weren’t really “crimes” - international law wasn’t really a thing, and they weren’t really illegal under German law.

Yet we hung the Nazis anyways, because they were the fuckin’ Nazis. I find this a comforting thought in these times.

If you’re in need of additional fortification, the article on John Clarence Woods might help, the hangman who very incompetently and thus painfully executed nazi leadership - there is also a Behind the Bastards on him, possibly the one that discusses the trials iirc.
