  1. As someone currently residing in a sober living community, I can confirm that alcoholism among the middle aged is out of control. For every young heroin addict there are probably ten older alcoholics.
  2. US history with Saudi Arabia is like making friends with the school bully because he had a cool bike, but then grew up to be a rapist. Be done with it.
  3. Meanwhile, the American public was very much in support of, basically, Japanese genocide. As was typical during the war, the enemy was viewed as “sub-human.”
  4. With that said, every major power involved in WWII was committing war crimes. The area bombing of cities was not an American invention, but as usual we had to go and turn it up to 11.
  5. When I was in high school, WWII discussion was often centered around the atrocities committed by the Nazis and Imperial Japan, and NEVER around the numerous war crimes committed by the allies and the US in particular. Operation Meetinghouse, by the numbers, was the second-worst war crime in modern human history, after the Holocaust itself.
  6. About 200,000 between the two cities. Of particular note, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not even the deadliest of the war. That title goes to Operation Meetinghouse earlier that year (firebombing of Tokyo)
  7. I’m four months clean today and starting a new job for $25/hr next week
  8. Instead of flipping Texas blue, just let it become its own country again imo, then all the chuds can move there
