I think people will ask how the power of peace and love stopped Nazi Germany and protected the victims of the holocaust.

Empathy, solidarity, and love are important but let's not pretend that if we just love those who hate minorities hard enough, they'll stop doing it.

Well, his wife said that the movement didn't stop with his death and that "if you thought that my husband's mission was powerful before you have no idea, you have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world" so probably safe to say she's a horrible, minority-bashing white nationalist as well.

I would like to note that Luigi Mangione has not been convicted of anything and it has not been proven that he was the one who killed the UnitedHealthCare CEO, there was also a lot of improper police conduct in relation to his arrest.

Sure but thorn itself was getting phased out some 300 years later, so I think if we're reintroducing letters then we might as well also reintroduce ones that differentiate between different sounds.

I think there's a difference between the problems with leading a nation stemming from the natural ails of very old age versus what minority someone was born as.

To be fair, they're already part of the Union whether they want to or not, it's more a matter of if they get to have political representation or not.

Unfortunately, a large percentage of the voting population seems to support them, which is part of how we got here in the first place. The best argument for a free and open democracy is what happens with any of the alternatives, but people have a tendency to forget, and opportunists are great at using difficult times to garner support.

If this continues unopposed, yes, but asking individuals in specific situations to sacrifice their own lives without an organized community does not sound reasonable to me.

Making large groups of people that all agree with you spontaneously appear at a location is typically not super easy.
