So, You Dont Like The Way Our Little Fictional War Came Out? You Dont Like Rachel Dead And Tobias Shattered

“So, you don’t like the way our little fictional war came out? You don’t like Rachel dead and Tobias shattered and Jake guilt-ridden? You don’t like that one war simply led to another? Fine. Pretty soon you’ll all be of voting age, and of draft age. So when someone proposes a war, remember that even the most necessary wars, even the rare wars where the lines of good and evil are clear and clean, end with a lot of people dead, a lot of people crippled, and a lot of orphans, widows and grieving parents.”

It took me years after to understand that. That ending crushed me.

Chiune Sugihara. This man saved 6000 Jews. He was a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania. When the Nazis began rounding up Jews, Sugihara risked his life to start issuing unlawful travel visas to Jews. He hand-wrote them 18 hrs a day. The day his consulate closed and he had to evacuate, witnesses claim he was STILL writing visas and throwing from the train as he pulled away. He saved 6000 lives. The world didn’t know what he’d done until Israel honored him in 1985, the year before he died.

Just because its not happening here doesn’t mean its not happening

no lie, when i first heard about why women don’t like being called “females” i thought it was a pointless argument over semantics (hint: it’s not)

but I’ve started taking mental notes of the men I see saying “female” and their attitudes towards women, and it’s really sad to see that there’s definitely a correlation there
