It’s actually an interesting phenomenon. Fascists regimes will commonly do things that appear altruistic at first glance but hide deeper cruelty. Many fascist regimes will run things like food banks, homeless shelters, free clinics. But when you look into them you see things like forcing anyone using a shelter to throw away things they need to live, food banks only giving food to those who participate in “rehabilitation” programs that are really just labor for the org, or free clinics that sterilize those deemed “undesirable.”

A good example of this is the LDS church, or Mormons. Utah had one of the most successful homeless rehabilitation programs in North America. It was a housing first model where you simply give people shelter, food, and even cash and just trust them. And it worked! This model is now used across the globe and is the most successful method of aiding the homeless. But the LDS church came along and said, “Out of the goodness of our hearts, we will run this program.” And while they did fund it, they returned it to a traditional program that doesn’t help anyone. But what it did do was usher a lot of impoverished people into joining the church to get access to things like the Bishops Storehouse or Church family services which act like the more successful model, but only for tithe paying members at the discretion of bishops (like a local priest)

If you want, I can Pull some articles for this for you, but I have a killer migraine atm.

This comment led me down a weird ass rabbit hole.

So I was curious about the whole vegetarian thing, and all I could find were articles from far-right news outlets. So, I hit up the local university library. From what I saw, the vegetarian claims come from a few places starting in 1937 with a new york times article, except I couldn’t find the original article and am waiting on a request for it from a microfiche archive. Apart from that, it is supposedly mentioned in the transcriptions of Hitler’s table talks, which is technically a primary source, but it is Nazi propaganda. The only record I found there is from one particular translation of the records. Except that specific translation is highly controversial and has been accused of ammending the record. Additionally, the original transcription was also controversial for the alleged amendments made in transcription. The original documents are under lock and key.

But none of that confirms or denies anything. So, I looked at the secondary sources and interviews with associates. Except these interviews all said that while he self identified as vegetarian, he would regularly consume various kinds of meats (average vegetarian). Additionally, most of these records are from around the same time 20 years after his death.

So I checked the forensic records. Except these are also dubious. They were authorized in 2017 by the FSS (formerly KGB) and the results were that the teeth were likely from someone who did not eat meat, but that contradicts earlier sources who said that even when he was only eating clear liquids and mashed potatoes near his death he was still, allegedly, given bone broth against his will.

So basically… Can’t confirm or deny shit. He likely identified as vegetarian, but like most pussmouths didn’t give two shits about animals and ate them anyway.

I mean, the other takeaway would be that far right orgs push anti vegan rhetoric to solidify heirarchy as a natural state of humanity, but that isn’t new information.

This is why I only eat vegan female doughnuts. I’m ok with misogyny, but I draw the line at animal cruelty

Yeah, fancy cottage cheese

The 5th cheese is always ricotta. Like, no shade to ricotta, but if I wanted fancy cottage cheese, I would be eating lasagna. Not to mention that it is the number two stomach killer of cheeses, right behind the cheese your dad insists he just bought, but it has a promo on it for a signed ball by Stockton and Malone. That cheese is so old and moldy it has basically become a more expensive cheese.

What are you, a fugin cawp?

Another point against SpongeBob’s statue, it got me in trouble in elementary school.

Our class did some lesson on the cis-teen chapel. And I thought, “oh, Michaelangelo! Like that statue in SpongeBob.” So I drew that statue with the clam shell and all. And then I had to meet with child and family services and convince them my dad wasn’t diddling me. Well jokes on them, he was and they didn’t even figure that out!

Hold up. They often use the number of someone they want harassed

They usually use the information of other people they want to harass. The last time I saw one of those flyers, the number was to an elderly black woman.

Real wizards know the rag goes on the outside of the capped bottle so you don’t light yourself and party on fi… maybe wizards don’t know that

I’m not sure what “youth led groups” they are referring to because damn near every one I’ve seen says genocide is a dealbreaker.

Im just glad they acknowledged us. Like, even the degrading alleyway wheelchair ramps are better than a staircase with no handrail, but at least they put in the literal minimum effort. Same goes with cloth masks.

Which especially sucks as 250 for anyone over 6’ is barely above average. At my peak, I was 320

Yup

We die.

When I was in engineering school, I was lucky enough to have a based professor. He would start lessons by describing a tragedy. A paraplegic burns to death in a stairwell, another cracks their skull after being pushed down the stairs. He would then show us solutions to these issues from long before the tragedy. Slides to carry you down, bags you sit in and use the rails as a slide. Fire safe rooms that you could shelter in and can be accessed from the outside.

This also does not simply affect us disabled fucks. Say there is an earthquake, and you shatter a leg, or worse, your hip. You are now in the same stairwell as the rest of us.

Also, god help you if you’re overweight. When my legs stopped working, I gained 200lbs. I knew then and know now that if I am in a burning building, I will be the last one out, if I get out.
