If you could get away with shutting down part of the country and hold that power in the palm of your hand- why would you stop at 5 million?
Yesterday (May 9) was the 100th anniversary of the birth of Sophie Scholl - who went to her death at the guillotine at just 21 years of age for peacefully but openly resisting the culture of death in Nazi Germany.
“The real damage is done by those millions who want to 'survive.' The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don’t want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won’t take measure of their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don’t like to make waves—or enemies. Those for whom freedom, honour, truth, and principles are only literature. Those who live small, mate small, die small. It’s the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you’ll keep it under control. If you don’t make any noise, the bogeyman won’t find you. But it’s all an illusion, because they die too, those people who roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. Safe?! From what? Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does.”

Can anyone get this on YouTube or something so I can share it. It’s a long story but that’s all I can do- thanks
If you were on an airplane crash and were starving- alone- frozen and you couldn’t feel any pain. How much of your own body could you eat to not starve to death.
Just wondering
These people are sick
