To be fair, the intentional famines part largely came before ww2 so they aren't part of the ww2 deaths. the irresponsibility of the russian states governments in war time works as a fine fault though. If jews, gays, and disabled people had been conscripted into armies instead of euthenized they likely would've been part of the death toll anyway.

disturbing shillpost

there are right-leaning people on twitter saying that Time cover is faked; that the child was standing in a line with her mother. Is this true?

this is the only evidence I'm seeing shown to support it;

I've heard the same.

@Porcelain chips That image on the Time Magazine cover was not from Time, it was photoshopped in from another picture going around.

Okay.

She also left her three other children in Mexico.

Paid 6k to get smuggled across.

>Paying human traffickers

TOTALLY OKAY, GUYS! LET HER THROUGH, SHE PAID TRAFFICKERS!

I think it's an interesting case though; there are a lot of children they could photographed, but this one fit the idea for the cover.

Apparently, in the original version, you can see that the little girl is standing next to her mother.

I recognize the news as a fucking reality TV show at this point.

someone fire the casting director

Right?

Over in Australia, they had a damned news story gone editorial that they wound up throwing some music over to emphasize the emotion

is that not standard procedure?

She's got me convinced, though.

We should make Rape a crime!

leave me alone with fakebook 😄

Also murdering women. Let's make that a crime too.

legalize all crimes, we might seperate families otherwise... or something...

It's also important to remember though that no human is illegal, though

For instance, undocumented immigrants, robbers, rapists, murderers, thieves

they're not illegal.

so it is legal to own one?

No! It's not legal to own people. We need to tear down all prisons, release all of those poor souls.

Prison is slavery!

Yes, yes it is

The 13th Amendment specifically states that slavery is only acceptable if it’s punishment for a crime

The 13th amendment only abolished private citizens from owning Slaves. The Government is still allowed to enslave whoever it wants

Meh, I can live with that.

Everyone is ultimately a government's slave anyway

@Deller I know. I was lightly straw manning an opposing view.

And I only say lightly because I actually HAVE seen at least one or two genuinely present that perspective.

I got that, I’ve just found there’s a surprising amount of people who think slavery was completely ended in this country. It wasn’t, it just looks different today than it did 150 years ago
