The issue is, however, the largest superpower is backing and supporting the actions of Israel in this regard. "The World" would have to label the United States as an active participant and begin the process of sanctioning and isolating the US. Either way, it wasn't morals or ethics that ultimately led to turning on Nazi Germany. Before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the United States was very comfortable in keeping itself out of the conflict. At the time, Anti-Semitism was the soup du jour of domestic policy in Europe and America.

The Franks (of Anne Frank fame) attempted to immigrate into the US leading up to World War II, and despite Otto Frank's connections within the American government, and his connections as a businessman, him and his family were deemed a "security risk" and denied entry. They were one family out of thousands who were turned away by FDR's State Department. It was clear early on that the Third Reich was facilitating mass oppression against their Jewish population. The problem, ultimately, is that the prevailing opinions about the Jewish people were shared within the western powers. From an American perspective, what the Third Reich was doing with its Nuremberg laws wasn't too far off from what America was doing with its Jim Crow laws, in fact, the Nuremberg Laws were heavily influenced by the Jim Crow laws of America. Meanwhile, European countries facilitated the emigration of Jews from their borders through the Third Reich's first solution, which was relocating the Jewish people to "Israel", of which they covered the majority of the costs to do so.

The United States didn't enter into the war until after the attack on Pearl Harbor, which was a form of blowback resulting from the British and American embargo on oil heading to the Japanese Empire. Up to that point, the states had been operating Lend-Lease programs for weapons and supplying the Allied powers with material support in an attempt to allow them to deal with the Axis threat. There were great material interests in pushing the Third Reich back, as they had expansionist ambitions, ones that would see them control land and resources that the Allied forces had ready access to. Ambitions of conquest in Africa and Asia, as well as a colonization scheme into Russia. It wasn't until April 1945 that the Dachau Concentration Camp was discovered and ultimately liberated. The idea that the Allied powers were fighting against the Third Reich on Moral and Ethical grounds rooted in the treatment of the Jews is very much a misunderstanding of the timeline of that war. The European front was effectively finished by May that same year.

So this idea that the world "can find it in themselves to have a single moral or ethic, and then act on it", as if that was what happened in World War II, is idealism, and a revisionist view of the events of that war. I do not see this conflict playing out as the way you imagine it.

So strange that all of a sudden, this handful of Raccoons decides to bring along the whole neighborhood. I wonder how that transpired. Maybe it wasn't the same family of raccoons, and it was a rotating cast of raccoons, and they all decided to show up on the same night. Animals are weird.

Yeah, this is definitely an interesting question. I'm always astonished at the number of comments the megathreads get. If every one of those comments was a post in a community on the site, it would "feel" more "active". I wonder how many communities active users actually subscribe to. Sometimes I'll post something, and it feels like it goes to the void, even though the community might say it has a number of subscribers.

I have no idea how someone can follow the megathread comment section. With thousands of comments, maybe hundreds of top-level comments, it seems really daunting to dive into.

I hate to break it to you, but the people who were told "don't invade Poland" were eventually exfiltrated into the "international community" at large.

If this guy is in his 50s, wouldn't that make him part of Gen-X? Born somewhere between 1965 and 1970. He grew up in the 80s. How "Old School" is this dude exactly?

"I want to retvrn to a time when men had ill fitted suits and big shoulder pads, and the girlies had big hair and worked out in a leotard worn over long leggings in contrasting neon colors! A time when men could wear 3in inseam shorts in the summer, and no one'd think you were gay!"

What are the chances it becomes split into East and West Ukraine? A kind of reboot of history in our new modern context.

Yeah, I'm not sure if there will be more or not after S3, I haven't looked into it.

Branch's son Aidan suffered from lead poisoning while they were living in a home with lead in the paint, windows, pipes and soil. Her son's lead levels were so high they had to move out of the home and into a homeless shelter for almost three months while they searched for safe housing. Branch said the experience was terrifying for her son and left him with health issues he will have to face for the rest of his life.

We live in a insane world. In a just society this wouldn't have happened in the first place. Removing lead from homes and the water supply should have been a government initiative the second an alternative was available.

Even still, the idea that they had to live in a shelter for 3 months because their landlord couldn't be bothered to remove the lead in the rental is just another example of the vial and callous nature of landlords.

The Branch's live in a lead paint free home now, but they still have lead pipes.

"When I first started advocating there was a 50 year plan that went down to a 40 year plan, now there is a nine year plan to remove all the lead pipes in Milwaukee, Branch tells CBS News. "I should be alive to see the lead pipes being removed out of Milwaukee and that gives me hope for other places as well."

There is still more the Milwaukee community needs to live in a lead-free safe environment: more housing and more clinics.

Branch says there is not enough safe housing available in the community. Her old home where her son was lead poisoned was still being rented out as recently as a few years ago according to Branch. As for the Next Door Pediatrics Clinic where her son was first tested for lead positioning, it has since shut down, creating a healthcare gap in the community. Branch credits the work of the clinic for her youngest daughter being lead free.

Again no justice. The landlord wasn't forced to remove the lead from the house, and the local clinic that could diagnose these exposures was shuttered thanks to treating our public services like market services, subject to becoming insolvent and closing, leaving the community in a healthcare shortage. I guess the community should have been sick more often in order to keep the profits high enough to maintain the clinic.

There is a sense of shame for parents whose children suffered from lead poisoning, but Branch wants to remove the shame from the equation of asking for help.

"I want them to know it's not on you," says Branch. "We're not receiving justice, And it's a human right to have clean drinking water."

Personal shame is the default and expected emotion for our collective failings. You should have checked the house for lead. You put your child in danger due to your negligence. You are in charge of keeping your family safe, and no one else!

This is a manifestation of our hyper-individualist culture in one of its many twisted forms. Only you can prevent your family from getting lead poising!

This is the Marxist equivalent of "The mitochondria is the power house of the cell".
