are you wondering about turning a meme into a thread ? 

do it.

if you’re worried or concerned that i may not be okay with it, you have nothing to be anxious about. i approve turning memes to threads 100%. actually, i prefer it ! you don’t even have to ask ever, okay ? it is always, always, always okay with me.

so, go ahead. turn that meme into a thread. 

i am so bad with starters, but i always want to interact with everyone, and this is, in my opinion, the best way to do it.

Twitter made the Jewish lady that posted this delete it for “threatening violence.”

Her followers spent the rest of the day tweeting this. Trolls couldn’t keep up.

Coming from someone who studies the Holocaust and the history surrounding it, It is important to remember that Nazis were human, not monsters.

It’s important because if we dehumanize them we create a level of separation between us and them. It’s important because if we create that level of removal, we start ignoring the subtle signs of antisemitism because “Oh, well they’re just a normal human, not a monster, i’m sure it’ll be alright.” It’s important because when we create that level of removal, they come back in waves. It’s important because when you create that level of separation, you get the problems that we have now.

There is a very simple set of brain equations involved when we dehumanize the enemy, and it goes something like this:

“Nazis are monsters”
“I would not be friends with a monster”

The CORRECT conclusion is
“I cannot be friends with Nazis”

BUT PEOPLE KEEP BELIEVING THE COROLLARY
“None of my friends are Nazis”
“…even that one guy who keeps posting ‘ironic’ Pepe memes, who never really grew out of his 4Chan /pol/ phase, and who keeps trying to have really intense conversations with me about ‘globalists’. But he’s my friend! I’ve known him forever! He doesn’t REALLY believe any of that stuff. He’s just kind of an asshole, and we love him anyway.”

This is a very bad corollary. It is an extraordinarily dangerous corollary. When we sincerely believe that we would not be friends with bad people, we ignore the signs that our friends are bad people.

(Friendly note: you can replace “Nazi” above with “sexual predator” or “racist” or “abuser”. Same hat, pretty much. There are very real reasons not to dehumanize the enemy, and they have nothing to do with the enemy’s right to humanity, and everything to do with the enemy’s ability to sneak past our lines wearing a nice-person mask.)

I’m reblogging this to my main blog because it is extremely fucking important.

truly every day i think about how yolanda foster from housewives of beverly hills thought she had lyme disease for years and centered her life around getting so many procedures and experiments done and and it was actually just her leaking boob implants

I really do hate to turn this really funny lol post into something else but uh a lot of women end up getting really sick from breast implants like its really bad. Women usually arent told the risk of getting implants because BII (Breast Implant Illness) isnt recognized despite the facts for it. A lot of women just get really sick after their implants and doctors can never seem to figure out whats wrong but it turns out its the implants doing something bad. This is the short of it but a youtuber made a really good and through video on it.

Damn
