Yeah, I think if you are caught in something that's, from your perspective, nothing but death and destruction, it doesn't really matter if the official numbers of dead are 100, 1000, 10000, 1000000. And you go with what feels real.
Right, if you were literally press-ganged to pull the charred bodies of civilians from the wreckage in the aftermath, obviously it's going to be a huge deal and the fact that it's a huge deal is just a factor of human psychology and empathy, not a commentary on whether or not Germany was right.

It's just really, really unfortunate and depressing that an avowed socialist like Vonnegut ended up repeating a casualty figure that literally came from Goebbels' propaganda department because of scum like David Irving.

Yeah, it's depressing. It's not like the actual number makes that part of the book any less brutal, but you don't want to be repeating propaganda that is used by nazis to go 'actually we were the victims in all this if you think about'.

Yeah, he was a POW and was housed at... Schlachthof 5.

I meant more in the sense that they made it into a very widely read book that put those numbers in wide circulation than putting blame on Vonnegut.

Didn't Rick Santorum almost call Obama the n-word in a speech? Way back of course, but this made me remember it, he goes something like "Barack Obama is a democrat. He's a socialist. He's a ni- democrat."

I can remember someone explaining dogwhistle racism in America. There was the example of Ronald Reagan deliberately choosing a town where a lynching had taken place to give an otherwise innocuous speech. But now apparently it's just "Obama is a nig-- I mean DEMOCRAT", "segregation was goo--- I mean BAD".

back in 2012. His defense was some dumb poo poo like "nig-" was a filler word like uhm or err. Then people glossed over it and he got a job on CNN

What a strange place to put the n-word in that sentence though

If I were in a charitable mood I'd say it's more likely he was saying something like "anti-war, government-nik" (meaning "anti-government"-nik or peacenik) like someone from the 60s who uses -nik as a suffix, but well

Even if that did actually happen what kind of coward politician is afraid of some graffiti? You're a public figure making decisions that affect people's lives, graffiti is not even a proportionate response.

Someones handwriting analysis of the graffiti said that the 'F u Nancy' was in different handwriting that didn't match her, so it looks like someone tagged the street, and she saw the opportunity to try and framr antifa.

And if she is getting random 'f u' tags her neighbors are not worried, they are laughing at her
