Behind the Nazis is what they learned from Trail of Tears and US antebellum slavery. Behind that, you get Rome.
It's war. War is behind all fascism.
I think self inmolation protests tend to linger for a while. While you personally may not know every person to do it, I do think it gets attention and I remember them. I dont think i couod ever forget the videos ive seen. Certainly the witnesses and people who cleaned up the remains will remember forever.
None of us have a guarantee of life. We aren't entitled to life. There's nothing saying he wouldn't have died of cancer in 3 years anyways. This is similar to people saying "what if you aborted the future scoentist to cure cancer?" It's nonsense based on an intangible future.
None of us are entitled to work from another person. I mean this really sincerely, the state believes we belong to them and forces work out of us because we live in a giant work camp. So that's the legal basis for why the state stops us from self harm - denying them the economic advantages of my labor.
He did dedicate the rest of his life to causes he believed in.
Eat, sing, be happy - that's how community is built
I wonder what will happen to those prisoners once climate change gets even worse

We need to demand approval choice voting. Every time we hear anything about third parties in this country, we need to use it as a launch pad to tall about approval choice voting
Gross simplifications that push drugs and involuntary hospitalization are an extreme
Yes agreed. We have mental illness due to fascism and authoritarianism, it doesn't help to then dial that up to 100000 via forced institutionalization
You can be in your right mind and kill yourself, I truly believe this. Whether he was in particular, idk. But we allow 18 year olds to sign up for the military and don't medicalize them, so society has some concept of this.
Personally, I have deep respect for people who protest in this way.
I'm feeling pretty good rn for myself, she really looks off. She's similar looking to the Kimberly Guilfoyle lady (55) and Lauren Sánchez (54)
You're incredibly uneducated to be making the claims you are.
Racism in the US south against black people looks different than racism in the midwest/Western states against Native Americans because the goals of the racism were different.
The govt wanted to grow the black population so they could have a huge workforce to take from. Explicit racism helps a lot with this, because it's declaring people black and enforcing that they are less than and deserve to be a lower class. This is probably what you mean about how racist the south is.
For Native Americans, the govt's goal is to take their land and destroy their claims to land - they want LESS Native Americans. That's why colorblindness is the racism in the midwest and west. That is also why those areas HATE Latino people, even though those people are generally just Native Americans who speak Spanish. That's why you hear stuff like "We speak English here." That's why old John Wayne movies were the way they were. That's why we had those Native American re-education schools. That's why we killed so mamy buffalo (to starve them) and the Great Plains to this day has never recovered fully from how many millions of herd animals were killed. It's why, TO THIS DAY, Christian organizations will adopt Native kids to explicitly white Christian families. It's why the Mormons are in Utah. It's why most Native reservations are in extremely inhospitable places (look at the Navajo lands versus nearby in Hatch, NM - the Native people would have lived near Hatch, near water, but we took that from them and gave them barren soil - to kill them).
The racism against Native Americans is like smothering and starving a baby to death, whereas the racism in the south is more like screaming//beating at a baby to depression/"submission".

Old cowboys used to cut Native women's labia off and put it on their saddle horns to play with. The west is racist too.
