  • Funnily enough Germany was the richest nation in the years running up to WW1. And then after at least Berlin was one of the most tolerant places in the world before the Nazis came to power. Would still be considered extremely progressive. I do wonder sometimes if the extreme wealth led to progressiveness, WW1 never got to Berlin after all. The Nazis used the decent of the populace into poverty because of the sanctions of Versailles as fire for their cause. Boogymen were provided by the Nazis in the form of minorities such as the Jews to justify abhorrent behaviors.

    I see many many similarities in the US today. From wealth disparity to the boogyman of the “immigrants” and so on. Instead of Versailles it’s the sanctions of the environment etc etc.











  • Binging with babish. I am still subscribed but I find myself interested in fewer and fewer videos. The channel started as recreating meals from tv shows and still is that to an extent but naturally he’s run low on things to do. They’ve added other aspects that I just don’t care for like anime with Alvin. I just don’t watch much anime. I also feel like there is just less content.

    Another is Joshua Weissman who used to do fermenting videos and curing etc. Now I feel like I just watch him make some bread buns and then he makes a sandwich. He’s made 100 burgers by now. Who cares. I enjoyed some other series he did like “but faster” or “but cheaper” but they always seem to end after a few episodes and he moves onto something else. I feel like I learn stuff from his videos but just when I’m getting a feel for a topic like fermenting he moves on.
