At some point you really have to tell yourself “this is not an experience I want to keep having” and stop entertaining things that don’t benefit you in any way.
Why are some people like this?
Way to spectacularly miss the point.
These brave women were more than qualified for more specialized tasks, but no one in power would give them the assignments or the respect they deserved.
Instead, the 6888 battalion was tasked with sorting and delivering more than 17 MILLION pieces of backlogged mail in a 6 month period. Everyone who tried before them had failed.
They worked around the clock in dimly lit rat-infested warehouses and airplane hangars with blacked out windows under the constant threat of air raids. They endured attempted attacks from a German U Boat and astounding disrespect and bigotry from those who owed them gratitude.
Three of the batallion’s members were killed in the line of duty, and the military refused to even honor their sacrifice by paying for their burial.
Many of these women were highly skilled medical technicians who could have easily been assigned to more esteemed duties if they didn’t have to fight the additional war of racial and sexual prejudice.
But they took a job no one else wanted (and one that everyone prior to them had failed), and they did it with excellence, boosting the morale of the troops and bringing peace and comfort to those back home.
If you can’t respect their efforts, the least you can do is shut up. I promise their contributions to the world are more meaningful than sitting around on X throwing stones.
thinking ‘let me rephrase my words so they’re gentle’ doesn’t work with people who can’t resolve conflict in a healthy way. it’s not how you communicate your feelings that they have an issue with. they have a problem with being held accountable and that has nothing to do with you
idk man i know we hate rich people but i think if you’re laughing at the idea of any non-evil person dying perhaps the most nightmarish death imaginable, it may be time to log off for a little
@jpalmiotti@greg_price11@ZippyNetworks Both sides lie constantly. Why can neither party hold their officials accountable? To not see it is hypocrisy at the very least.
@greg_price11 What?! The government set a false narrative of a large public event to advance the security and surveillance state? Who could have seen this coming?
