I find it extremely funny how these idiots love to invoke the crusades every chance they get. Reading about Crusader history you’d find that, other than the first Crusade, they were largely a failure and failed to achieve their goals (especially after Saladin captured Jerusalem).

Not to mention the fourth crusade, were Crusaders sacked not 1 but 2 Christian cities.

The Southern Poverty Law Center was indicted Tuesday on federal fraud charges alleging it improperly raised millions of dollars to secretly pay leaders of the Ku Klux Klan and other hate groups for inside information, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said.

Dear god, they were using money to get racist assholes to betray eachother? Those absolute swine, how dare they do something both common and effective. Bastards. Clearly, the crime was so great as to cause the Trump administration to instantly become credible and, in this one legal act, Donald “The Big Cheese” Trump has united left and right together against their true enemy: An advocacy group for brown people!

… wait no hang on, that’s stupid.

to bad as I worry people won’t realize how good things can be without a perspective from the 70’s. it was not all hams and plaques but its direction was improvement. I often think about how when you were hard pressed to see anything plastic outside of toys that life was pretty nice and convenient enough. As much as I like the internet and computers im starting to feel like there is not a whole lot of quality of life improvements with technology in a general way.

Sometimes I go to fb to see a restaurants page or something, and when I press back it takes me to the front page. Out of morbid curiosity I sometimes scroll a bit, and lately there are so many posts from ~ 30-50yr old people pointing out how many mosques there are (here in Finland), how many people are wearing hijabs, etc. Like its straight up literal xenophobia, fear of foreign people.
