  Note that the largest Nazi groups today are in the “allied” nations that “won” WW2.

  I read a piece (can’t find the source now, sorry) that blamed this squarely on the lack of education and remorse given the colonial backdrop in which WW2 was fought.

  Most parts of the world view WW2 as very much a European war that was imposed on unwilling participants. The axis powers lost and Germany has since tried its best to reinvent itself while acknowledging its chequered past (check out: Vergangenheitsbewältigung), but the allied powers failed to recognise their colonial atrocities. For example, British history textbooks will loosely allude to the British empire saying that they were once a dominating global entity, but will make absolutely no mention of the numerous massacres and genocides for which they were responsible.

  When wars are framed as competitions rather than tragedies, you will see the emergence of false victors instead of acknowledging lost generations.

  I don’t know about Gravity being the derpy one, but it sure is the most annoying AF. Stuff keeps falling off the nightlamp when I reach for it, or I have to retrieve something moderately heavy from the back of the top shelf and it ends being a hazard to health.

  Nah… F#*k gravity.

  See this is what I expect when scientists and artists come together and do stuff. Like I laugh and come out if this learning stuff.

  It’s crazy how entitled journals feel to receive free content from researchers, extract free labour in the form of peer review, and then just slap their name on the content, and paywall the knowledge. The very knowledge that was generated from tax payer’s money.

  Then they wonder why the academic community thinks poorly of journals and their lackeys.
