"Early one morning another man and I had gone out to snipe at the Fascists in the trenches outside Huesca.
[...]
One of the effects of safe and civilized life is an immense oversensitiveness which makes all the primary emotions seem somewhat disgusting. Generosity is as painful as meanness, gratitude as hateful as ingratitude. But in Spain in 1936 we were not living in a normal time. It was a time when generous feelings and gestures were easier than they ordinarily are."

1) Spread the word about us & our efforts.
2) Take a look at the forum & maybe even create an account (any email suffices; I'm admin).
3) There are already some things to get started, more will come soon.
4) Every bit helps, we need all kinds of people, knowledge and POVs.

The politician currently poised to become the next chancellor in Germany (Friedrich Merz) said today:
"We won't be impressed or influenced by all the statisticians and all the skeptics and all the critics and all the critical zeitgeist."
In his last speech before the election tomorrow (2025-02-23).
This is a more coherent Trump.

Question re #Wikipedia lingo:
Someone mentioned "non rs and nonsense" as well as "black hat seo nonsense" while reverting edits.
They did not provide any explanation and their reverting undid a lot of progress / introduced already fixed bugs etc.
Is there something I'm missing? Are their standing definitions of "non rs" and "black hat seo"?

PSA:
Now may be the first time you hear about Magnus Hirschfeld and the Institute for Sexual Science.
Be aware of the fact that Hirschfeld was not only gay, but also Jewish.
"The Nazi Party attacked Dr. Hirschfeld for his ideas about sex, sexuality, and gender, as well as his Jewish ancestry."
"Hirschfeld: 'If Germany doesn't want me, I don't want it either.'"

I know I don't have any authority, but still:
This historian gives you explicit permission to delete and destroy each and every bit of data (pun intended) that can put you or others in danger.
Lives Saved >>> Historical Record Preserved
We can always work with incomplete records - and tbh:
I much prefer having Oral History from people who survived instead of documents from people who didn't.
(Our historical records are ever incomplete.)

How do you think the systematic mass-murder on an industrial scale started?
In 1939, some camps where already there, people already rounded up - but the 'efficient' mass-murder had not started yet.
In the spring of 1939, even before the start of #WW2, people from the highest circle started planning. Led by Philipp Bouhler (director of Hitler's private chancellery) and Karl Brandt (Hitler's attending physician).
They planned to murder all 'disabled' children (& later adults) - #AktionT4

"...Das Problem, das persönliche Problem war doch nicht etwa, was unsere Feinde taten, sondern was unsere Freunde taten. Was damals in der Welle von Gleichschaltung, die ja ziemlich freiwillig war, jedenfalls noch nicht unter dem Druck des Terrors, vorging: Das war, als ob sich ein leerer Raum um einen bildete. (…) Und die Geschichte habe ich nie vergessen."
Das bezieht sich auf das Intellektuellen-Milieu, siehe 🧵2/2
