Such a pain you can’t block an entite instance (at least not that I’ve found on Sync) and have to block the individual communities one by one. I blocked the ones with over 500 subscribers and i suppose the others will get blocked as they show up in my Everything feed.

There’s no way i want to be a part of German genocide whitewashing.

So apparently, from what i read, USAID, while it did some collateral good, was used for covert CIA foreign interventions meant to carry out incredibly damaging experiments for no reason other than CIA being CIA. A lot of these harmful missions were done under covert names like “sex changes in x country” or “lgbt support in y country”. Allegedly Trump saw this and killed the program, just out of bigotry, either before the CIA explained it to him or despite it.

Now i had doubts about this myself so i checked online from several sources and the consensus seemed that it checks out. Major news outlets wrote pieces on it. Even USAID defenders always say some variation of “even though USAID was involved in CIA operations destabilizing foreign governments, that was not its main purpose”.

So if this is true and as far as my research has lead me, i have no reason to believe it’s a fabrication, thank goodness USAID is dead. I thought the US CIA programs of destabilizing foreign governments for shits and giggles was a thing of the past, but i was unfortunately wrong and i now realize that not even aid should be accepted from the US and I’m glad Trump destroyed that program.

I don’t know about other downvoters, but i downvoted you because you said kids should be beaten into submission at school. Corporal punishment is the refuge of bad parents and it’s not a teacher’s job to harm your children that way. There is not a single justifiable reason that you need to be physically violent with a child to educate them. In fact, that only makes it worse. You either raise a fearful child or a hateful one. Either way, in my book, it’s child abuse and you were calling for it.

And boy would i cause all sorts of sky falling down trouble on the poor soul that decided to physically assault my child, undoing my job of teaching that violence is only a tool of self defense. I suffered significant corporal punishment growing up and i can guarantee it improved my life in no way.

ESA is the European Space Agency. It’s a pretty prominent acronym. They really couldn’t bother researching it before registering their little butthurt group? Imagine making a corporate group and calling it NASA.
