Hidden Figures for example. The movie paints the discrimination that these black women face as just plain old 1960's racism. Which that's partially true, they also completely gloss over the fact that NASA was staffed by, and ran by Nazis.

Like, literal Nazis from WW2, that the US Government brought 1,600 Nazis over to work for them in exchange for not being prosecuted for their crimes during the Holocaust.

Yeah the head of the Apollo mission that the women in the movie worked on was a literal Nazi who had concentration camp prisoners build rockets for the Nazi regime, under such horrendous conditions that more people died making them than were killed by them.

Then he moved on after the war to be the head the Apollo mission, and the movie completely ignores this.

Like, don't you think it's relevant to mention how there were literal Nazis who these women were working under? Or would that be too much for the audience to handle?

The ones being sold are WILD CAUGHT. They're being found MISLABELED for sex (females labeled as males etc), and no consideration is being given to the fact that wild caught jumping spider females are pretty much ALWAYS GRAVID. They mate once and will lay around 5 clutches of 25+ eggs each clutch. Since they're only native to a few states, releasing spiderlings means potentially introducing invasive animals, meaning the choice comes down to raising a hundred or more babies or euthanizing a hundred or more babies.

It's a win for habitat restoration. It's a win for marine life. It's a win for all of the people who helped make it happen.

It's a fucking win and it makes me happier than words can describe.

We're at "disappear our political opponents" levels of fascism now
