Sadly it’s peers & genetic traits (eg predisposition to group-based hierarchies, low openness to new experiences, low empathy, etc) that have the biggest influence - not causal but probabilistic. And the giant permission structure enabled now that overt racists have power.

“La cosa più preziosa che puoi ricevere da chi ami è il suo tempo. Non sono le parole, non sono i fiori, i regali. È il tempo. Perché quello non torna indietro. E quello che ha dato a te è solo tuo, non importa se è stata un'ora o una vita.”

David Grossman.

"Times Radio reporter Jo Crawford travelled to Nebraska to investigate a growing religious MAGA movement who believe there is a spiritual war taking place in the US and Trump was anointed by God."

IMO,those with a'fundamentalist mindset'should be defined as 'mentally ill'.

Μου πήρε λίγη ώρα να ψάχνω το Άλας της Γης, ανάμεσα στα παραδοσιακά folklore. Με μια έρευνα, κατάλαβα ότι δεν είναι ίδιο με το Salt of the Earth. Που να πάει το μυαλό..

Ideas could inspire great things but never really care for its own people. We should make sure to study the past in all its depths, but never glorify it.

Leni Riefenstahl was a full-throated N*zi who, naturally, lied her entire life about her support of a genocidal madman who launched a war that killed tens of millions of civilians. Everything about her is tainted by her fascist ideology worship. Everything. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ap...

How did Hitler’s film-maker hide her complicity from the world?

A new documentary delves into controversial German film-maker Leni Riefenstahl’s private archive to uncover a director who spent a lifetime covering up her central role in the Nazi propaganda machine
