I'm sorry but "Hitler was right" people can actually go die. Maybe I'm being cruel but I don't care I genuinely wouldn't do anything if I saw someone getting harassed like okay so doxxing might be over the line but other than that I have no sympathy for you fuckers. You lost your ability to be defended by me from death threats or suibaiting when you decided that you agreed with such the fucking cruel actions that I can't even describe they were so monstrous. I might be the asshole but I can't see someone who wants to kill everyone but a small amount and put them through the worst things and think "I disagree with them, but I think they shouldn't be harassed!" You want us all dead. You want us all to go through hell. Why should I care when you want us DEAD

I found one of the phones designed by post World War 2 German scientists that was made to talk to the dead. I had a really bad feeling, I wouldn't like what would happen after if I answered the ringing.

TLT fans: did you guys know about the real Wake? I hadn't heard about her until we covered World War II in my world civ class this semester

Nancy Grace Augusta Wake (1912-2011) was a covert operative who was at the top of the Nazi's most wanted list in WW2, nicknamed "The White Mouse" for her ability to repeatedly evade capture. She was born in New Zealand with Māori heritage, grew up in Australia, and joined the Resistance after traveling to Europe and witnessing the harsh treatment of Jews in Vienna by the Nazis

Wake worked in the Pat O'Leary Line escape network until her Resistance organization was compromised by the Germans in 1942. After that she fled on foot across the Pyrenees—with several close calls that she escaped by flirting with German soldiers—and made her way to England to join the Special Operations Executive. She was part of a three person team codenamed "Freelance" which parachuted into occupied France. During this operation she got stuck in a tree after her parachute became tangled in its branches. The local Resistance leader who found her reportedly said “I hope that all the trees in France bear such beautiful fruit this year" to which she replied "Cut out that French bullshit and get me out of this tree"

While working in the Freelance operation Wake once biked 500 km (310 mi) without stopping in the span of 72 hours across Nazi territory to retrieve a new radio and codes after her team's were destroyed in a Gestapo raid. Without this feat, Freelance would not have been able to communicate with London and there would have been no more supply drops to support their Resistance organization. During the war she was also part of a raid which destroyed the Gestapo headquarters in Montluçon, in which she reportedly killed a Nazi sentry with her bare hands to prevent him from raising an alarm

Wake's fellow operatives described her as "a real Australian bombshell. Tremendous vitality, flashing eyes. Everything she did, she did well. She was an excellent shot, excelled at fieldcraft and put the men to shame by her cheerful spirit and strength of character." "She is the most feminine woman I know until the fighting starts. Then she is like five men." "We both came to the conclusion that she was 10 times the man I would ever be"

By the time of her death in 2011, Wake had been awarded the George Medal by Britain; the Medal of Freedom by the United States; the Médaille de la Résistance, the Croix de Guerre (x3), and the Légion d’Honneur by France; and the Badge in Gold by New Zealand. Due to a complicated relationship with Australia, she originally refused to accept any awards from the Australian government, saying that they could "stick their medals where the monkey stuck his nuts." In 2004, however, she accepted the honor of Companion of the Order of Australia as well

#revolutionary girl utena #disco elysium #shoujo kakumei utena #dios #akio #utena #anthy #touga #kanae #csa tw #for clarity in case this doesn’t read the way im intending for it to read #the comparison between akio and the innocentic system is the idea of like. why they’re called innocences to begin with #the idea that they are ‘’innocent’’ in that everything they do is 1) inevitable 2) a reflection of the will of the world and everyone in it #akio and the prince archetype both have echoes of that idea #the prince as someone who is infallible and sacred and a necessary part of the world #and akio as someone who uses that rhetoric of infallibility and of only being a reflection of the way the world works #to write off his heinous crimes a la the innocenses and their war crimes #and ‘’we are alone’’ is utena recognizing the death of the prince. she is alone. she has to do this herself #in sacred and terrible air miro says something like ‘’be at peace. i am innocent and so you all are as well’’ #in the same breath as he launches a nuke #i feel part of utena’s arc is about rejecting the idea that something is acceptable just bc everyone else around her seems to accept it #bc the truth is more that her peers have resigned themselves to their fates… it’s not truly what they want. they just cant imagine smth else #and so rather than say ‘’i am innocent and so we all are innocent’’ #she learns to say ‘’i am guilty of many things but i can change. and so can you. and so can the world’’

can we talk about how The Zone of Interest is a movie that's really about everything you can't see? can we talk about how the families of German high command officers lived perfectly normal lives behind thick concrete walls that they hoped would become overgrown with vines and flowers so they wouldn't have to be constantly reminded of what was behind it? can we talk about how these men committed unspeakable acts of genocide behind these walls, then came home and went about their day as if everything was right in the world? as if hundreds of human beings weren't being worked/gassed to death and their bodies burned in crematoriums every single day, practically in their backyards? can we talk about how excellently important this film is for Americans today with everything that's happening in the world? can we talk about how the families of those SS officers are just like the Israeli people who colonize the Gaza strip and treat the people who live there like they're inhuman? and can we talk about how their Jewish predecessors, who were hated and hunted and massacred by the millions for generations, are SCREAMING from beyond the grave?

Famous Greeks who fought in the Greek resistance against the Axis Powers in WWII

Odysseus Elytis (middle): The nobelist poet served as a second lieutenant in the Greek frontline. After a few months he contracted a severe case of typhus, so he had to be hospitalized. He recovered and a lot of his future poetic work was inspired by the war.

Nikephoros Vrettakos (standing on the right in the first picture): The poet and author fought in the frontline in 1940 and almost got killed in Klisura. After his regiment was dissolved, he joined EAM / ELAS (Greek People's Liberation Army) and continued fighting until 1944.

Nikos Kavvadias (seated): Well known for his poetry inspired by his adventures in the sea, the sailor rarely wrote prose, but when he did, it was usually inspired by his days in land fighting in the war.

Many other poets also fought in the war. Ángelos Sikelianós volunteered to join the army, but he was rejected because he was 56 years old at the time.

Rebetiko and Laiko musicians and composers Markos Vamvakaris and Vassilis Tsitsanis also went to war. Tsitsanis entrusted his buzuki instrument with his mother and promised to return to take it back.

Painter Yannis Tsaruhis also fought in the Albanian frontline (Italy invaded Albania and then marched from Albania into Greece, Greece halted them there and then counterattacked, pushing the Italian forces back, which is why a lot of the war during 1940-1941 took place in the Albanian mountains). Tsaruhis heard that a soldier had a vision of Virgin Mary. He immediatedly made this religious icon, using a kipper can as a canvas and he named it "Η Παναγιά της Νίκης" (i panayá tis níkis, the Blessed Virgin of Victory). The paint had not even dried before a rumour was spread in the camp that the icon was supposedly miraculous.

Comedian Dinos Iliópulos, was a Greek of Alexandria, born and raised in Egypt. He completed his millitary service in Greece, even though he was an expat , so it was entirely optional for him. He had returned to his home in Egypt for just one day after finishing his service, when he heard of the bad news. He left immediately, returned to Greece and joined the army.

Lambros Konstandaras (centered in the left picture): the great actor volunteered to join the army and fought in the frontline. At some point he was severely injured in the head and the hip. He was rescued by the aforementioned poet Odysseus Elytis! After his recovery, he insisted on returning to the battlefield, but he was prevented from doing this. He was suffering from his wounds for the rest of his life, although his vibrant charisma and talent in cinema and theatre never allowed anyone to see this.

Kostas Hatzichristos (right picture): the hysterical comedian originally dreamed of a military profession, so when the war broke out, he joined the army and fought passionately. However, his days in the army were crazy. He was in the northern front and soon his legs developed frostbite. At some point he was sent to serve in a military hospital. Next to it was a cafe owned by an Albanian man and his sister Orhana. Hatzichristos, a notorious womanizer, fancied Orhana and provided supplies to her constantly and made her other favours as well. At some point Orhana disappeared. Hatzichristos found out she was collaborating with the Italians and was giving them all the supplies he was providing her! He became the target of a lot of mockery in the Greek camp. He was moved to regiments on the rear and then he had a lieutenant who just did.not.like.him and bullied him constantly. Once, Hatzichristos stumbled upon Italian soldiers trying to flee during his patrol. The lieutenant screamed at him to shoot them but Hatzichristos saw how young they were and how they were begging for mercy by crying out “Fratello, fratello” (brother in Italian) and felt sorry for them. He did not obey the lieutenant's order. The lieutenant was furious. Hatzichristos fetched them in front of him and said: "You kill them, since you are the tough guy". Hatzichristos always had a way to deliver lines and the lieutenant broke in laughter. He was so amused that he agreed to spare the lives of the Italians. He knew that an Italian regiment would pass from that point in a few hours, so they tied the two Italians in a tree, placed a little canned food next to them and left them there to be found by their own people once they passed.

Famous movie and theatre actor Dionysis Papayannópulos participated in important battles in extreme conditions in the mountains. He said that the battles lasted so long that when they ran out of bullets, they would keep fighting with sticks and stones. During the Axis occupation of Greece, Papayannópulos resumed his job as an actor in the theatre. One night, Max Merten, the Kriegsverwaltungsrat of the occupational forces in Thessaloniki, attempted to meet Papayannopulos at his dressing room in order to congratulate him on his performance. The actor refused to open the door and receive him. Merten was responsible for the deportation of the 50,000 Jews of Thessaloniki.

The great theatre actor Manos Katrakis (center) fought in the frontline and saw his commander commit suicide before his eyes when they were caught and disarmed by the enemy.

“I am the harvest of man's stupidity. I am the fruit of the holocaust. I prayed like you to survive, but look at me now.

It is over for us who are dead, but you must struggle, and will I carry the memories all your life.

People back home will wonder why you can't forget."

Tiny's little William lore is that when he was like 10 him and his sister were playing and she nearly drowned to death in the river and then caught pneumonia and had a slow and painful death and William could do nothing but watch as someone he cared so much for died in front of him. And then shortly after His father ended himself out of guilt for failing in his eyes all 3 of his children.

#What I mean by all 3 is that before William or his little sister Wendy was born They had a older brother named Bill who died in World War 2 #william afton #tw child death #tw suicide
