The H*******t. Not because I think it didn't happen or anything but because I can't believe Hitler was able to get away with killing millions of innocent people. However, I'm now witnessing firsthand how easily brainwashed the masses can become.

The last 100 years has been monumental in just about every conceivable way. Unfortunately, people are still being people and killing each other if astronomical numbers.

The principle of "comfort women" that Asian women suffered during the Second World War. It is beyond comprehension. It is an inhuman tragedy that is still too little known by people.

January 6th. Unbelievable, and shame on anyone who support(ed/s) anyone who was there and didn’t do their part to stop it.

The 1921 Tulsa Race M******e. The idea that a group of White people were so outraged at there being a successful Black community that they not only brought guns, but some of them used crop dusting planes to drop incendiary devices on the businesses and people.

911. Not American, but I still find it unbelievable—not in a conspiracy way, either—that these massive, iconic buildings collapsed, and simply aren't there either.

Can't edit original post. End of comment is supposed to read "... simply aren't there any more."

The massacres in Rwanda in 1994 — perhaps because I was a child at the time — the descriptions of the barbarity I saw on television seemed like something I couldn’t fully grasp. An ethnic cleansing that resulted in the death of 1 million people in just 100 days, an average of 10,000 people per day, mostly with machetes and other crude weapons.
The accounts of violence, especially against pregnant women and children, were so cruel they felt impossible to believe. Even today, I wonder what kind of collective hate and madness could lead a group of people to commit such atrocities.

I just keep thinking about how this was easily preventable. Low information voters and propagating lies is wretched. Last night I was shopping online for eggs and didn’t see any that could make me believe that Dumpty Trumpty was doing anything to improve our lives or that Biden, et al made it worse and I was shopping from Whole Foods! (Note to people who are lucky enough to not live in the US- Whole Foods has been named Whole Paycheck because it’s thought of as expensive. Since I don’t buy run-of-the-mill grocery products I order from Whole Foods and it isn’t more expensive because I usually don’t buy their lovely, expensive prepared food.)

The planned conventional invasion would have killed many more Japanese civilians, not to mention Allied deaths. Look up the estimates, including the Japanese Army's plan to order all civilians into battle with weapons as limited as pointed sticks. That's evil.

In the US, nearly 46,728 people died from gun violence in 2023. 60,000 Americans died in Viet Nam. Yet no one wants to do anything about gun control.
