Yeah, the German Institute of Sexology was one of the first places burned, and they were the leading group for transgender care and research. History loves to repeat itself.

only because idiots can't learn from it.

I find it explains a lot that November 11th here in Canada is Remembrance Day, where down there in the states it's Veterans Day.

Notably: it was specifically the first place the Hitler Youth raided and conducted the first mass book burning following the rise of the Nazi Party into power. Its notable that its the Hitler Youth that did it, because its important to contextualize that their attempts to infiltrate colleges and public schools (the GOP) are not random, but following the same playbook as the Nazi party to construct loyalist youth groups in order to sustain the movement long term; and its notable it was the first mass book burning, because it showcases how large of a pillar anti-LGBTQ actually was for the Nazi regime.

And people learn nothing

This country was founded on racism and treachery and being destroyed by the same hate.

People are weak, base and petty. Blame the other instead of themselves. Black people and transwomen are the most hated people in the country today. They are erasing black history as I type and talking about physical eradication of transgender people.

This country needs to fall. I am just saddened I'm trapped here in the collapse like many others
