Oof, get ready for the backlash. I think that in summary, what you're going to receive is anger about the belief that a group of people based on ethnicity/nationality can expel or eradicate another group from their lands because the initial group supposedly used to live there millennia ago and experienced a recent genocide attempt elsewhere. From the perspective of an outsider, it seems like one group of people (i.e. Jewish) believe they can and have the mandate to genocide another group that had nothing to do with the genocide to avoid their own genocide that is no longer a threat. Imagine if Native Americans started genociding European Americans rn, particularly bombing schools and hospitals. That's what it would look like, except the Native Americans were here for millennia, were dominant much more recently depending on the specific location, and suffered a much much more extensive genocide over centuries.
Basically, the universal moral code that is being violated is that no one no matter what has the right to genocide anyone. There is no exception to that rule. Not culture, ethnicity, religion, or even genocide. In fact, it seems hypocritical to commit the genocide of a group of people that had absolutely nothing to do with the initial genocide while claiming that genocide is horrible. It's like saying, "John killed my child, so I get to kill Jenny's child." What?? No, you don't get to kill anyone.
posts like these got me inspired to do the same and report my experience doing the transition
I hate this community and I just wanted to thank everyone that has given any advice or suggestions in the past, i’m really excited about this and grateful that I could get to this point.
The "I hate this community" had me loling out loud
I think they didn't round up the insurrectionists because the executive branch was supportive of the insurrection. Once Congress and others put pressure on the executive branch, they started slowly working on getting them. I wouldn't be surprised if that was a closed-doors negotiated deal. Trump goes free at the impeachment, but the insurrectionists have to be prosecuted and not pardoned.
If the executive branch wasn't supportive of the insurrection, the whole thing would have lasted less than a minute and been a pile of dead bodies. There's no way a ragtag group of populist dipshits would have been able to compromise the US Capitol otherwise.
But the thing is that here in Europe, we are more relaxed than USians because we have government mandated vacation days. It's even better when I get sick at the same time because I can catch a free ambulance ride to the hospital near the beach since there is no "out of network" medical care (whatever that means) here. I can then take mass transit from the hospital to the beach and make university-educated friends with everyone because tuition here is free. Because I didn't die in a mass shooting when leaving the beach, I can order a reasonably-sized meal that doesn't cause instant cardiovascular disease and not leave a tip because our servers are paid a living wage. I can't imagine the horror of living in such an underdeveloped country as USA. I am so glad I am in the EU.

hell yeah! I got my fleece wizard robe out and ready. I also hit up the grocery store just in case I get snowed in and picked up some more milk, chocolate chips, and jet-puffed bad boys. Now is the winter of my content!!
This is it!! What I consider sunrise is the blue hour when the light starts showing up and I know it's a new day. I can start seeing the surroundings and hear the sounds of everything waking up. What I consider sunset is the golden hour when I know I have just a few minutes left in the day. I hear things winding down and know that I wont be able to see much anymore. That's why I perceive them as differently. The cue I used to notice them is their initial impact, so that's what I associated with it. I knew I wasn't crazy! Thank you very much :)
