    I know what you mean. In the past few always felt something was missing from the Holocaust history. I didn’t doubt that it happened, but I refused to believe how compliant the Jews were in facilitating their death. So I felt that a major part of the story was wrong.

    Nope. It was ME who was wrong. Now that the see how eagerly people will wear their yellow armband....oops, I mean N95 mask.....and stand in line politely waiting for their kill shot, I now have ZERO sense of mystery about the Holocaust. Or the Holodomor. Or Stalin’s purges. Or Mao’s “great leap”. Or......

    A few about what happened last time these Karens were in charge.







    All about the same basic topic. Could apply it to the Spanish Inquisition, too. But I hear the new season is coming sometime before 2030...

    I loved the South Park-ish illustrations in the first one!

    Boy, this all reminds me that life seems to be one giant Milgram’s Exoerirment.

    Due to inflation and the government's attitude towards the electorate in the UK the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off

    There are no known plans to reinstate it

    I'm sorry, I still see a light at the end of the tunnel...
    Moving towards us...
    Picking up speed, even.

    The train horn gets unsettling, though.
