The Same White People Who Hate Critical Race Theory For Making Them “Feel Bad” About Their Racist History, Think Jews Deserve Punishment Cos “They Killed Jesus”
Just think: if not for the pathogens they carried with them from Europe to the New World — pathogens that decimated the native populations — Europeans would have had a far harder time establishing a beach head in the Americas north or south.

Feelings v Facts
News flash: feelings and facts are NOT the same thing. The earth is round (roundISH actually). That’s a fact. It just “is”. That I however insist, all evidence to the contrary, the earth is flat — that’s a feeling. Same goes for the sun rising in the east. I may, for some reason, get it…
