Zofia Posmysz’s mugshot after being arrested for distributing anti-Nazi leaflets. She was sent to Auschwitz but survived 2 concentration camps and today is 94 .
Here she is currently. Don’t let her name or her face be forgotten.
what really gets me about the argument that “americans are so selfish they can’t even care about others enough to stop the virus” is that we fucking did. the vast majority of americans, at great personal and financial cost to ourselves, went inside and distanced and took precautions and isolated and changed our lives to slow the spread and keep our loved ones and strangers safe. we did that for months, even when the government offered piss poor assistance and unemployment skyrocketed and food bank lines lengthened and the death counts climbed and parents with young children reached a breaking point, we still did it. the polling still shows that the vast majority of americans are more worried about easing restrictions too soon even if it hurts the economy. americans give a shit. we care. we made the sacrifices to give our government the time to figure out and implement a plan — to find a way to keep us safe and as healthy as possible and to use the power of the federal government to protect small businesses and feed our children and put a roof over our heads and create education campaigns to get people to socially distance and wear a mask for fucks sake. we did that, and at the end of months of sacrifice they decided that it wasn’t worth the trouble and have left us at the whims of our governors and local officials, left us at the mercy of our employers, left us to die.
americans aren’t selfish — our minority-rule government is — and it’s left us to die.
Also, don’t mistake the minority of stupid and careless Americans for the majority just because they’re yelling really loudly. Because they prop up the narrative of the minority-rule government, they get more air time and more exposure than the rest of us. Hundreds of thousands of people are protesting for BLM across America and the news is cutting back coverage, but when these assholes went out protesting for haircuts? It was EVERYWHERE.
Even if you’re not IN America, please examine the narrative about America you’re being fed.
I had a dream last night that Neko Atsume added a new food item called “Shitty Bitz” and buying it gave you fish instead of the other way ‘round but it put it out as soon as you bought it and you couldn’t replace it and it took forever to get emptied out (the only way to get rid of it) because it would only attract two cats and their names were Hobo and Glunkus but also that was the only way to get those two cats to show up. Hobo looked like a kinda dirty brown cat and Glunkus looked like the devil like he was black and his entire face was teeth. I woke up crying
Cobra venom isn’t poisonous. People just get freaked out when they get bitten by cobras and let their negative emotions do the poisoning for them. I’ve been bitten by dozens of serpents over the last fortnight and due to my positive attitude I am healthier than I have ever been in years.
