Don’t sleep on the fun history behind it!
… the people who were put in the camps then were Communists. Who cared about them? We knew it, it was printed in the newspapers. Who raised their voice, maybe the Confessing Church? We thought: Communists, those opponents of religion, those enemies of Christians—“should I be my brother’s keeper?”
Then they got rid of the sick, the so-called incurables. I remember a conversation I had with a person who claimed to be a Christian. He said: Perhaps it’s right, these incurably sick people just cost the state money, they are just a burden to themselves and to others. Isn’t it best for all concerned if they are taken out of the middle [of society]? Only then did the church as such take note.
Isn’t that super fun and totally not related to anything else!

St. Louis is cursed to being home to the worst US corporations, relative to its size at least. Boeing’s military division is there (one of the biggest employers there, former McDonnell Douglas).

And they all love their performative liberal bullshit. And you can add Michael Brown and all the racism on top of it, too.
You missed Nestle-Purina and ExpressScripts. And honestly Build-A-Bear lol
Pride is a protest. Never forget it
Horizontal Hostility is an oppressors wet dream. Marginalized groups too busy damaging themselves in their confusion to unite and rise up.
