Reactions to the article are why I detest German exceptionalism, singularism, & memory culture regarding the Holocaust.
"Never again" is not a lesson learned from history.
It is an active commitment to continual struggle; cognizance that "again" is the default human option.
Edith Eger, an Auschwitz survivor, made this comment long ago. Everyone behaving “offended” simply does not understand that most of us are simply untested. Everyone has the capacity for hatred & to do evil. Even me, even you, even the best of us.

Cummings said he warned about i.a. corona virus in 2019.
Thing is, he didn't. References to SARS and corona virus were added to his blog post on pandemic risks sometime between April and May of this year.

I've been spending quite a while now (essentially since he said this at the start of his statement) looking in other media, things where he can't edit, for any mention of SARS or corona virus and so far I'm coming up empty.

If he had said he had warned about pandemics, fair enough. So did a lot of people, but yes, he genuinely did, too.
However, adding refs to corona virus/SARS to make it appear he was prescient, & adding them only to the blog post related to bio-lab mishaps, that's what gets me.

He just repeated the claim that he wrote about this a year ago.

To be fair, yes, he warned about pandemics (as did *many* people), but claiming prescience is just *too* classic Dom.

The degree to which Germany, and most Germans, disgust me by this point is genuinely hard to describe.
When news of Abu Ghraib broke, we did some of this, too, but we at the very least also expressed shock and concern and condemnation.
Germany and other friends of Israel have been alarmed at reports about maltreatment of detainees for months. This from a speech by our foreign minister in June. In a state of law like Israel such cases must be investigated.

This is far more impactful than just us changing our knowledge of its hue, btw, because for 35 years, people have tried to come up with good explanations as to why Neptune was a different hue, all of which are now obviously baseless.

The reason I think fascists embracing Art Deco was inevitable. Fascism is a (if not: the) politic and violence of pure aesthetics.
The actual history is irrelevant, the vibes it can be imbued with count.
@GravitysRa1nbow
The ideal past for fascists to glorify is one that is tantalisingly close and viscerally embedded in the public imagination, yet sufficiently far past to be esoteric and malleable to their (re-) interpretation.
