@pseudorandompi @esrtweet 'Communists' and 'Fascists' are indistinguishable *because* mass graves. Both religions in all but name.

Cult-like infallible 'great leaders' whose word is law. Holy books - Mein Kampf, Das Kapital, Mao's little red book. Harsh punishment for 'heresy'.

Religions.

[Mike Ross @eruptionchaser]

@bryanlepore @esrtweet Meh. Communists and fascists are functionally indistinguishable. In both cases, their opponents end up in mass graves, or in gulags. It's a distinction without a difference. They're both, anthropologically, indistinguishable from religions.

@POTUS @owainkenway you know what I found interesting? Apparently the guy was born in Khan Yunis refugee camp in 1962.

A fscking refugee camp that's *still fscking there today!*

I think I start to see the bigger problem here...

@sophaskins Ahhh... every trip to Japan, I come back with one more suitcase than I started... It was cheap in 'Hard Off' is my downfall!

While you can easily see the latest quakes we have located on our website and app, did you know that we also have a handy tool that lets you search through our whole earthquake catalogue, that goes back to 1815? 😲

@DrEliDavid THEY look like ordinary people going about their ordinary lives. I don't see any signs THEY are preparing to massacre anyone.

Maybe you have the wrong 'THEY'? 🤔

@BethBridges @esrtweet The Human Freedom Index is a pretty respected metric, and they don't agree.
