“There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.” - Mark Twain

Can someone direct me to reading on why the AIDS crisis was as bad as it was for gay men. I’ve never actually learned anything beyond “it was bad and the governments fault”.
1·1 day agoI was referring to vietnam but admittedly my sense of time is not very good and I just threw a number out there that felt right
Edited previous comment for clarity lol
China hasn’t invaded anyone in like
7047 years. South Korea doesn’t need thousands of US military personnel and arms to protect itself from China. Trade protectionism does not require this
So long as South Korea is an American military outpost the North will feel threatened and peace will be impossible. I would love to see it but it would require serious material changes on the part of South Korea.

I know in my heart this picture was taken in Serbia
51·3 days agoMy partner and I’s rule is to never go to bed angry. I think in nearly seven years we have broken this twice
Lowkey something you would hear at a punk concert
Check out Heyoka if you like punk/metal ans don’t mind it being french. They have a cover of El Pueblo Unido which is pretty fire. Idk why a French band covered a spanish song but I fw it
Nothing beautiful about this one though
2·4 days agoShe’s actually an agent of Yugoslavia I have been saying this.
21·5 days agoI assume that by legitimate you mean western. I think I saw MSN commenting on it but the source is still Iran and as of now that is the only source. It certainly could be propaganda but considering the laundry fire, suicide attempts, fungal infections, extremely limited food (cup of rice and 2 slices of meat/day iirc), and stagnant musty water, I find it reasonable to at least believe there was a riot/brawl. Even if the death count is inflated.
