The butcher is hopefully dead!
Reisi was one of the key executioners and architects of the mass execution of political prisoners in Iran in August-September 1988 where over 10000 political prisoners, most of them had already served their sentences, including my teacher, my brothers childhood friend, my sister's brother in-law and several friends of relatives of me.
I wanted him to live and be charged for his crimes against humanity, bit since it's not possible in today's climate, this is the next best thing.

I’ve already done it. I drove 2000 miles around south India in an auto rickshaw in 2009.

that's a tall order. Fascists by definition reject rationality as a decision making mechanism and replace it with emotionality. Emotions drive them. They use rational thinking to justify their emotions and to justify their vile actions.
And violence. They worship violence.
I'm not sure how to convert them.
In my mind, and maybe I'm wrong here, the best bet is getting the "both sides are the same" types to recognize they're not the same and fascism is an existential threat.

Attention, #fediverse. My wife and I are private pilots and visiting Paris and Bordeaux in the fall. We’d love the opportunity to fly the French countryside. Any recommendations?

"Even intentional law-breaking was to be considered when designing the system. The reality is that drivers do speed, and they get distracted by their phones or other passengers in the car. 'Don't pretend that there are laws that you know everyone will follow,' Tingvall says. 'That's very unprofessional. You would never do that in aviation or in other areas where you really care for safety.'"

Almost 30 years ago, a revolutionary idea changed the way Europe regarded road collisions. It has probably saved countless lives but it's yet to be fully accepted by politicians.William Kremer (BBC)

I'm sad to see a post like this. But I also wonder of it is a true statement.
Are you telling me Barack Obama didn't feel safe *ever*? Michelle Obama? I've worked with many African Americans who felt pretty safe.
This kind of hyperbolic statement is not helpful in a larger conversation. Where is it coming from? It seems to be an outlier to the posts you usually make. Did something happen?
