    „This is what #humanitariancollapse looks like: vermin moving freely through garbage, ruined buildings, and tents — and attacking people wherever they go.“

    - А що це за "геополітика" часів freak shows, де її сучасні актори вважають себе вінцем природи, найкращими дипломатами, переговорниками, пісдільцями (від peacedeal), розумниками, красенями і божими синами на Землі, а насправді є виродками чи то з трупи мандрівного цирку ...

  3. @skuebeck @JuliaKrohmer Portraying people as #vermin that needs to be exterminated is deeply disturbing to me. What else does this show other than the terrorist mindset of the person who puts up something like this? Do you want to destroy these bugs yourself, or do you leave the dirty work to others? And yes, I read the whole text. The last sentence doesn't change anything.

  4. A quotation from C. C. Colton

    Rats and conquerors must expect no mercy in misfortune.

    Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
    Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 1, § 400 (1820)

  5. Per #TheDailyBeast

    Barack #obama lashed out at Donald #trump for inflaming political tensions in the wake of the shooting of conservative Charlie #kirk and left little doubt who he was calling out while speaking at a Jefferson Educational Society event in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday.
    “When I hear not just our current president, but his aides, who have a history of calling political opponents ‘#vermin enemies who need to be ‘#targeted that speaks to a broader problem that we have right now…

  6. @RiversideBryan Plenty of squirrels here. They'd probably eat more acorns if the stupid Boer next door didn't keep feeding them bread and biscuits and stuff. Which they then drop everywhere.

    Didn't have a big zoom with me, but it's eating some sort of mushrooms I think...

    „After suffering almost 18 months of deadly bombardment, displacement and lack of access to basic services, the embattled people of Gaza face yet another challenge: the threat of insects and rodents.“

    Along with the righteous ongoing Cybertruck cleansing, the next logical step may be a proper and thorough #Yatchocide all around the world ! ⛴️ 🔥

  11. Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini

    He has brought dehumanizing language into American presidential politics.

    Rhetoric has a history.

    The words democracy and tyranny were debated in ancient Greece;
    the phrase separation of powers became important in the 17th and 18th centuries.

    The word #vermin,
    as a political term, dates from the 1930s and ’40s,
    when both fascists and communists liked to describe their political enemies as vermin, parasites, and blood infections, as well as insects, weeds, dirt, and animals.

    The term has been revived and reanimated, in an American presidential campaign, with Donald Trump’s description of his opponents as
    👉“radical-left thugs” who
    👉 “live like vermin.”

    This language isn’t merely ugly or repellent:
    These words belong to a particular tradition.

    Adolf Hitler used these kinds of terms often.

    In 1938, he praised his compatriots who had helped “cleanse Germany of all those parasites who drank at the well of the despair of the Fatherland and the People.”

    In occupied Warsaw, a 1941 poster displayed a drawing of a louse with a caricature of a Jewish face.

    The slogan:
    “Jews are lice: they cause typhus.”

    Germans, by contrast, were clean, pure, healthy, and vermin-free.

    Hitler once described the Nazi flag as
    “the victorious sign of freedom and the purity of our blood.”

    -- Anne Applebaum

  12. On a lighter note (let's face it - almost anything is lighter...). But not any less shocking...

    This photo of a mouse was taken by a friend, in the cafeteria of the main hospital in Halifax, Canada! *

    More mice were apparently spotted by this friend at the emergency dept in the Infirmary.

    This is the same hospital where patients are advised against drinking or brushing teeth etc in water from the tap. The pipes are contaminated with Legionella.

    And the same one where patients are practically suffocating in summer heat as they can't put air conditioners on the floors due to concerns over air quality.

    I guess we should be grateful that Steven didn't come down with some disease from his two recent eye surgeries. And we are.

    *What also shocked me was that this friend was actually feeding it.

  13. #Trump has previously described his #enemies as “#vermin” that needed to be rooted out. (#Cheney was the top Republican on the House cmte that investigated Trump’s role in the #insurrection.)

    #Democrats & some #Republicans have increasingly warned that Trump exhibits #authoritarian tendencies, w/ #KamalaHarris [& Trump’s fmr top advisers] recently calling him a “#fascist.”

  14. The Rough Streets of Metropolis Zone City

    Shortfuse and Vermin in their younger, pre-cybernik years. I've been percolating a little pre-origin story for them where they grew up on the streets of Metropolis together.
    Shorty is the rebel, striking out at Robotnik but Vermin is doing whatever he has to to get by - Vermin never notices the difference because for a long while these things are one and the same. But one day Vermin gets in too deep and Shorty walks, but Vermin doesn't understand, seeing this as a sudden and unexplained betrayal... when they meet again as Cyberniks, Shortfuse doesn't even know it's his old friend facing him in the armour~ But Vermin does...

  15. Trump’s #violent and #authoritarian rhetoric on the 2024 campaign trail has attracted growing alarm and comparisons to historical fascist dictators and contemporary populist strongmen.

    In recent weeks, he has dehumanized his adversaries as “#vermin” who must be “#rooted #out,” declared that immigrants are “#poisoning the #blood of our country,” encouraged the #shooting of shoplifters and suggested that the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, deserved to be #executed for treason.
