I remember when there was a phrase called “going postal” in the 90s when the postal workers shot up places. Now they are the victims. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_postal

Your point on many Europeans seeing Churchill as a saviour and not caring about his victims in colonies is just normal by historical (and modern) times. Romans were proud of all the genocides Caesar committed (and proudly self documented).

Due process and “human rights” do not apply when the government has resolve or perceives the transgression to be beyond the pale. The law or constitution does not matter then as well. Just ask Eugene Debs. Or see Julian Assange. Or Koremats

I find it strange that your comment on the embellishment of history (an incredibly common phenomenon of the past AND the present) is being downvoted.

The PKK terrorists inflict bombs and child rapes and kidnappings outside the white world. Hence the “tolerance”. A report by the UN of their child kidnappings and rapes in Syria, Iraq and southern Turkey: https://menaaffairs.com&

This is a myth. Sweden violates its own laws and has kidnapped people and sent them to torture chambers in what is called extraordinary renditions. Swedes openly acknowledge this. Their rules apply selectively as is the case all over the wo

Brandolini's Law existed 100s of years before the advent of the Internet. One of my favorite "Mark Twain" quotes is: “a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth puts on its shoes” The best part is that we actu

My favorite Accenture story is when they charged Hertz $32 million for a website that never went live. Wonder if they will perform better with a smaller headcount. https://www.henricodolfing.com/2019/10/case-study-

Why is this being downvoted if the fact is true? There are so many other high ESG scores like SVB and FTX and even countries like Sri Lanka (went bankrupt as well) that it has become an indicator like Jim Cramer. Every rating system will be
