I just heard my mom tell my brother, āwhen you die, you will go outside and garden until your father says youāre doneā and it took me a second to realize that my brother was playing a videogame and this was not a theological discussion.

The Garden of Death
Watercolor and gouache by Hugo Simberg, 1896

Hereās the whole video. Itās calledĀ āDonāt Be A Suckerā and itās 17 minutes long.
donāt just scroll past this actually watch it, itās only 2 minutes long. If you re-recorded this today word for word with modern actors and places, it wouldnāt even look out of place as a PSA
300,000 notes and i canāt find a transcript
Transcript: (sorry for the language!)
Speaker: āI see negroes holding jobs that belong to me! And you! Iāll ask you, if we allow this thing to go on, whatās gonna become of us real Americans!ā
Hungarian man with clear foreign accent: āIāve heard this kind of talk before, but I never expected to hear it in America.ā
Young man: āThis man seems to know what heās talking about.ā
Speaker: āWhat are us real Americans gonna do about it? Youāll find it right here in this little pamphletāthe truth about negroes and foreigners! The truth about the Catholic Church! Youāll findā¦ā [audio grows quieter as camera shifts to the onlookers]
Hungarian man: āYou believe in that kind of talk?ā
Young man: āI dunno, it makes pretty good sense to me.ā
Speaker: āAnd I tell you, friends, weāll never be able to call this country our own until itās a country without⦠without what?ā
Other man: āYeah? Without what?ā
Speaker: āWithout negroes, without alien foreigners,āāthe young man is nodding, following alongāāwithout Catholics, without Freemasons! You know theseā¦ā
Young man: āWhatās wrong with the Masons, Iām a Mason.ā Looks to European man worriedly, āhey, that fellowās talking about me!ā
Huungarian man: āAnd that makes a difference, doesnāt it.ā
Speaker: āThese are your enemies! These are the people who are trying to take over our country! Now you know them, you know what they stand for. And itās up to you and me to fight them!ā A bunch of the onlookers in the vicinity wave him off like heās crazy and turn away, āfight them and destroy them before they destroy us!ā
Speaker: āThank you.ā
One man in the now somewhat awkward crowd: āclapsā
Young man: *is visibly uncomfortable*
Hungarian man: āBefore he said Mason, you were ready to agree with him.ā
Young man: āWell yes but, he was talking about⦠what about those other people?ā *the pair sit down on a park bench*
Hungarian man: āIn this country, we have no āother people.ā We are American people, of course.ā
Young man: āWhat about you? You arenāt American, are you?ā
Hungarian man: āI was born in Hungary. But now, I am an American citizen. And I have seen what this kind of talk can do. I saw it in Berlin.ā
Young man: āWhat were you doing there?ā
Hungarian man: āI was a professor at the university. I heard the same words we have heard today. But I was a fool, then. I thought Nazis were crazy people, stupid fanatics. But unfortunately it was not so. You see, they knew that they were not strong enough to conquer a unified country, so they split Germany into small groups. They used prejudice as a practical weapon to cripple the nation.ā
A film created for folks in case Martin Niemƶller was too subtle.
āThey used prejudice as a practical weapon to split the people.ā
In this country, we have no āother peopleā.
90% of Denmarkās Jews survived the Holocaust, because starting at the top, Denmarkās government and prominent citizens and all the way down emphasized this.
And all this was openly supported by King Christian. He did not, contrary to popular myth, ride his horse through Copenhagen wearing the Star of David, but he did make it clear, as he wrote in his diary, that he considered āour own Jews to be Danish citizens, and the Germans could not touch themā.
Denmark had, in essence, inoculated itself against Nazi propaganda because its citizens believed that Jews were not āother people.ā As Bo Lidegard writes in Countrymen:
The Danish exception shows that the mobilisation of civil societyās humanism and protective engagement is not only a theoretical possibility: It can be done. We know because it happened.
Being a Jewish Dane or a Danish Jew might have made you a little different, but it didnāt make you other people.
Unlike Niemoller, they didnāt have to see atrocities visited on a series of Other People and only start caring when it happened to themselves. They understood it as happening to themselves from the start. Because their Jewish neighbors werenāt Other People.
As Denmarkās Jewish population sprang into panicked action, so did its Gentiles. Hundreds of people spontaneously began to tell Jews about the upcoming action and help them go into hiding. ItĀ was, in the words of historian Leni Yahil, āa living wall raised by the Danish people in the course of one night.ā
Many of them didnāt even see it as āresistance workā on behalf of the Jews because it was simply fighting back against an attack on their own community.
Though there was anti-Semitism in Denmark before and after the Holocaust, the Nazisā war on Jews was largely viewed as a war against Denmark itself. After the war, most Danes refused to take credit for their resistance work, which many had conducted under false names.Ā Ordinary people who never considered themselves part of the Danish Resistance passed along messages, gathered food, gave hiding places or guarded the possessions of those who left until they returned home from the war.
Communities in which there are no Other People save lives.
You ever meet a kid so shitty you're immediately like "I want to adopt you as my own so I can instill into you the values of dignity and compassion and respect for self and others that your guardians have so obviously neglected, so that you may escape the unhappy future that lies ahead of you with all the smoldering ashes of wasted potential" but also, like. I punt you like a football

Tumblr just put a fcuking harry potter post on my feed as a "recommendation based on your likes"
Why not recommend me smallpox next. Or arthritis maybe.

Add "Rowling", "jkr", "harry potter", "snape", "remus lupin", whatever you want.
Yeah I'm not doing all that. Tumblr should just ban all things related to that franchise
you are like a mewling helpless baby you are standing in the rain and i am offering you a goddamn umbrella and you throw it on the floor and yell at god to abolish rain
"you are standing in the rain and I am offering you a goddamn umbrella and you throw it on the floor and yell at god to abolish rain" is a killer line and I wish I wrote that
Spellcasters hate this fact but if you just stick your fingers in their mouth while they're casting a spell with a verbal component it's literally more effective than a counter spell.
This also works with pinning their hands against the wall when they're trying to use somnatic components.
Basically if you make out sloppy style while pressed against a wall the spellcasters can't do anything
Spending $150 MILLION to chase down $104K is a wicked level of class warfare.
Just letting fare jumpers go would save hundreds of millions. #ACAB
If you're willing to use taxes to hurt people but not willing to use taxes to help people, then your issue isn't with taxes.
That seems like breach of Fiduciary duty on the part of the City and the Police. Literally does not serve the public interest. Seems like something that the people of New York could sue for.
i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point
