I have always been a Liberal. Even with the India-Pakistan war, I have always scoffed at the people that tried to say that Islam is the problem and not just the extremist, terror cells in Pakistan. I wasn't excited about the idea of a war, but I saw it as the result of literally nothing else working out. I heard about Kashmiri Pandits, but I thought what happened to them was because of the militant groups coming in. I was sure that they'll be helped to go back home in time.

Now the Hindus in West Bengal are being slaughtered.

West Bengal has been one of the leading forces of the freedom struggle in our country. We have had brilliant philosophers, artists, dancers, poets, singers, screen play writers, writers everything from West Bengal. It is a state that produces brilliant intellectuals every year. Liberals and socialists. I don't know if you've ever talked to a Bengali, but they're the most capable, well spoken, talented people you will ever come across. It's the stronghold of the Shaktism sect in India. Ma Durga is revered the most in that land.

And now our people are being slaughtered. Hindus are being driven out of their land by the illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and certain extremist Muslims. It's like watching the Kashmiri Pandit exodus in real time. For centuries they've coexisted together with no issues, enriching the culture of Bengal, and suddenly brother has turned to foe. Houses and businesses are being burnt. They're looting people and issuing rape threats to women. People are being killed. They're throwing around bombs. They're attacking the police forces.

This is a land that has embraced refugees and shared everything with them. There was no reason to attack these people.

People had to cross rivers in boats to escape. 500 people had to leave their homes overnight because of the sudden extremists. Only Muslims were spared.

Locals say this has been going on since 2020.

Please, I'm begging with folded hands, keep the Bengali Hindus in your mind. Look at what they're facing. This is scary. If even the Liberal and safe Bengal can be turned overnight, no place is safe. What tf are people supposed to do?

Aftermath

The people who voted for Trump a second time, will reap what they've sown.

They've voted for a dangerous criminal a second time, even after what he said about women and his incitement to attack the U.S. Capitol.

Trump will eventually turn on those who supported him.

He is an existential danger to America and the World.

I can tell when one of my posts/reblogs has gotten big because I’ll start to get random anon hate assuming I’m an extremist who acts like this all the time in real life

A colleague of anti-vaxxing extremist RFK Jr. named Aaron Siri has asked the FDA to revoke approval for the 1950s polio vaccine which has likely prevented millions of Americans from getting polio.

In the years before the vaccine, many people were paralyzed or even killed by the virus. President Franklin Roosevelt, afflicted at age 39 in 1921, is probably the most famous victim of the disease.

RFK Jr. and his wacko conspiracy buddies aren't content just to bring back polio. They are also eager to take away your tetanus, diphtheria, and hepatitis A vaccines.

RFJ Jr. is just one of the dangerously unqualified nominees Donald Trump has put forth. If you wanted to destroy America, you could not find more evil people to put in high level positions to accomplish that.

On a practical note, make sure you are caught up with all your immunizations by January 20th. And if you don't live too far from Canada or Mexico, make sure you have a US passport card so that you can easily hop across the border to get vaccines if another Trump pandemic threatens the US.

Wanna know how bad polio is?

Paul Alexander contracted polio when he was 8, just before the polio vaccine became available. His infection was about the worst case of polio you can get without dying. He died early this year but spent most of the past 70 years encased in what is known as an iron lung.

‘Polio Paul,’ who spent most of the past 70 years in an iron lung, dies at 78

The land of ancient civilizations—Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian, and Babylonian—(Iraq), suffers from ignorance, backwardness, extremism, and Islamic terrorism.
