Why aren’t more people freaking out about the new Venezuelan labor law?

You know, the one that gives housewives/full-time mothers a pension— wages for housework?

It’s ONLY A HUGE VICTORY FOR FEMINISM, SOCIALISM, AND WOMEN OF COLOR. Not a big deal or anything. Tumblr is mysteriously silent about this.

holy shit!

WAIT THIS IS AMAZING

the-red-star-rises: this-is-not-jewish: thearcanetheory: mildrose: simpliss: i-said-adventure: as-adorable-derps-do: j-wolf-harding: demons: The immediate reaction of German POWs upon watching uncensored footage of the concentration camps shot by the US Signal Corps. People often forget that most of the German troops had no idea about what was going on, they weren’t all fanatic Nazis bent on genocide, they were just regular soldiers who answered the call when their country went to war. ^ This THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG wow im speechless NO NO NO NO FUCK THIS SHIT THE GERMAN CITIZENS KNEW THEY KNEW The ghettos happened in cities, the apartheid laws happened under their noses, Jews were rounded up under their noses THEY FUCKING KNEW Death camps and concentration camps were built WITHIN CITY LIMITS. Auschwitz, for example, is well within the city, and people take fucking strolls under its walls. I was fucking THERE, don’t even. The Polish knew, the Germans knew, it was LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE not to know. It’s even in the historical record, it’s even in fucking civilian diaries, THEY KNEW. I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF THIS REVISIONIST BULLSHIT. ^This. Sorry not sorry, German apologists, but what you’re seeing in this photo isn’t shock, it’s guilt. Richly deserved, completely merited GUILT. So take your, “Aw, those innocent little German soldiers, poor babies,” revisionist shit and shove it back up your collective ass. Most Germans knew, did they know to the extent that everyone thinks? Maybe not, however they were aware that the Nazi Party was rounding up and murdering the Jewish population. That reaction is 100% guilt, not shock. That’s why denying the Holocaust is a crime in Germany. They were well aware of the violence.The User claiming “revisionist bullshit” is right, it is revisionist bullshit, but they don’t take into account the social and political atmosphere of Germany in the 1930’s. Hitler used existing anti-semitism to foster a popular hatred of Jewish people within the Reich. It was only after being utterly destroyed by the Allied Powers did the German people feel guilt.

You mean the generation that paid three times as much for college to enter a job market with triple the unemployment isn’t interested in purchasing the assets of the generation who just blew an enormous housing bubble and kept it from popping through quantitative easing and out-and-out federal support? Curious.
