Don’t say you didn’t see this coming

He is definitely telling the truth. This has been in the works for a few weeks.

First of all, the rest of Russia is not sending gay people to camps, Chechnya is, so saying the entire country is like that is factually inaccurate.

It’s true. My college roommate from India used a skin-lightening cream called Fair and Lovely.

It’s “I am not pizza.” Because they are children, i.e. “not a product for sale” or whatever.

I feel the same. I’ll believe that this could change anything when it happens.

Or, just password-protect your phone

Not any time soon. They’ll just explain it all away as a “smear tactic” of the “fake media.” Cult members can’t walk away from something that has been their entire life for a while that easily.

Narcissistic personality disorder. Definitely not just the men over 50. Frankly, I can’t imagine someone that old seriously expecting that to work, they should have learned by then.

Guess they made him look like Harry Potter to seem more innocent.

Then if you are American then Trump is your fault and you are no better than the German kid in the movie. Worse, actually, because he didn’t choose either Hitler or being in Hitler Youth, while you can vote and could have prevented Trump—but didn’t.

I hope you realize that applies to us liberals too. It’s easy (and satisfying) to write Trumpsters off as non-humans. But as far as the world is concerned, all Americans are equally responsible for Trump—therefore not human. “All Americans” includes the author of the article. So if none of us are any better than the

You are free to believe that the 20% or whatever that voted for Trump are inhuman monsters—completely unlike yourself. But unless you plan to physically exterminate them all, you still have to share the country with them. So good luck trying to keep your daughter from dating a son of one of the monsters some day.

The South is still very racist. But saying everyone there is a racist is no different from “all Muslims are terrorists.”

He is not even a Nazi. Hitler Youth wasn’t something children chose to join. They were added to it.

Love doesn’t fix all. But that doesn’t make it any less legitimate. The point is, we aren’t fighting some alien space invasion. Our enemies are human. And our children may fall in love with theirs. Whether you like it or not.

It’s the same as a story of a boy from a KKK family falling in love with a girl of a different race. Would that be “glamorizing racism”?

It’s not even about the punishment for wrongdoing. It’s about the belief that all humans are born evil, and only by punishing any sign of the “evil” in others, one can prove being a good person.

Forcing someone to learn history is not at all the same as excusing a make-believe hate crime with “boys will be boys.” One is giving someone a chance to become less ignorant. The other is making excuses for the ignorance to make it ok.

Not many children in rural America have much of a clue what swastika really means. A great deal of adults, for that matter, have a pretty vague idea, based mostly on having watched the Sound of Music. The teens could definitely learn more about swastikas in jail, but it wouldn’t be the kind of education that would
