Headlines: “Trump elected President”.
“UK votes to leave the EU”
Headlines showing idiocy is ruling the roost
I am an amateur historian. I remember someone posted something completely wrong to push an anti immigrant agenda, like Muslims and Christians have never lived in harmony in history. I then pointed our Jerusalem constantly switching hands and pilgrim rights being respected, Coptics living under Mamalukian rule peacefully and overall under Ottomon rule 600 years later there’s still large swaths of Orthodox in Turkey just to name a few times. I got bombarded with comments, dms, all my posts on reddit were like downvoted and this crowd followed me to other subreddits to downvote and trash talk. Someone posted you follow R/Hometown so your from X Hometown. It was a very weird situation and I reported it all, it cleared up but I’m 60% I was targeted for being an active poster who leans left. I genuanlly thought I was one step from being doxxed…
Your experience of that is pretty much the key reason I’ve not bothered to explain this outside of a very limited specialist community I owed a lot to as I was putting it together.
I keep seeing new finds that would be really interesting to discuss, and I kind of hate seeing users confused about their own ancestral history while sitting knowing the answers, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to be the one putting controversial answers out there in a more public way.
People are fucking nuts and it seems each day care less and less about actual truth and facts and more about tribalism and confirmation bias to the point of irrationality.
Over the next few years a lot of stuff will be identified by AIs capable of better correlation of data points than researchers to date, and then it can be the AI that gets to be the object of crazy people’s ire and not actual humans that were just nerding out over research and data.
So in short, does the evidence linked mean that Jewish history and origin don’t align sith the Bible? Shocker. As if anything in there shouldn’t be taken with a bucketful of salt.
It’s more the opposite.
That the mythologized history in the Bible does check out to a surprising degree for a LBA/Iron Age tribal ancestral origin of many Jews alive today.
The problem is it’s not for the Israelites and Judah, and that’s what’s going to be the very controversial part.
So… the origin aligns with the bible, but what happened after that, doesn’t? Sorry if I’m being annoying, I’m still a bit sleepy and trying to make sense of this.
It turns out that lots of people are actually against recognizing human rights, as long as their rights are protected.
Elaborate, please.
A classic expression that explains it better is “They are not hurting the right people”
So people want to hurt other people, but is has to be the right people.
Yeah, I remember the disaffected Trump supporters. It’s not even like nobody told them Trump had no loyalty to anyone. Not that it justifies them wanting to hurt other people.
My aunts FB comments. My whole life I thought she was a lovely sweet lady, who was always super nice to me… Then I saw some years later she told somone else in the comment section should kill himself. Simple reason: the other person had different political views. It turns out she is a hardcore racist with very fascist world view and she is super proud of it.
I am not on FB for a very long time and I didn’t talk to her for 10+ years but I think it is for the best.
For me it has to be an audio recording some old guy made of him hiding in his basement to confront two neighborhood teenagers who kept sneaking into his house. He shoots the guy first, then if i remember correctly the girl was in shock and said something like “you shot him” and then the old guy was like “you’re fucking dead removed” and executed her.
Then he proceeded to leave the bodies in his basement over the weekend, then went to the cops to report the attempted robbery. Upon presenting his evidence, he was arrested.
This seems like it involves gore.
I don’t know, the world is depressing. Recently, details about Palestine have been disheartening…
A set of baby twins that are going to slowly die over the next two years because the company that made a single shot cure wants to charge over $2,000,000 per dose and insurance won’t spend that much.
What the fuck.
Sometimes I wish I was a billionaire so I could 1) cover these things immediately and 2) have enough influence to change the rules
Thing is that those billionnaires do exactly that, just the wrong way. No one needs to be a billionnaire or multimillionnaire.
Every billionaire is a policy failure
The US hard up needs straight socialized Healthcare. Our model is complete shit.
Their story gets even more screwed up. The woman who had the kids’ health insurance (through her work, cause murika) cut this drug and others like it the day after the woman’s kids were born. Doctors ran tests on her twins and confirmed the issue 4 days later.
So if she’d have had her kids less than a week earlier, the insurance would have been forced to cover it. I practically find it hard to believe it was such a coincidence.
About ten years ago when I was on Twitter someone tweeted to please go report an account which was horrible without saying why. So I went to the account. Twitter in those days had thumbnails of the pictures you posted at the bottom of your account that you could swipe through, so you saw a bunch of photos at once instead of individually, and it was child sexual abuse material. Thankfully it was only thumbnail sized so I just got a sense of it without really seeing horrifying detail, but I was pretty depressed.
Constant abuse of user’s data and disregard for the security and integrity of said data.
Another thing was the madness that is/was the Horizon computer post office scandal in the UK.
People had their lives ruined and some even killed themselves due to a faulty computer system.
I can’t do it justice here, but there are good videos about it on yt.
I logged in to my bank account the other day…
Showing my age… Tub girl.
Children being mistreated. I can’t. Not after having kids myself. I’m a wreck after seeing stuff like that now.
Although I don’t have kids everything I’ve heard about the Ruby Franke/8 Passengers case made my blood boil. That scumbag saw her kids as nothing but a way to get clicks and money, and I’m glad that she’s going to rot in prison.
And related to this, add animal abuse to the list of things that make my blood boil too. It’s wild to think that until recently there was such a thing as a thriving “monkey torture network”.
Time Cube. RIP you deranged, racist old bastard.
