5 December 1943| A transfer transport of 1,000 prisoners (including 34 Soviet POWs) arrived at Auschwitz from the Flossenbürg camp. On the way, 4 prisoners escaped. Many others died.
The group was probably about to be murdered in gas chambers, but ultimately, the prisoners were placed in the BIIa section of Birkenau (quarantine camp). 827 prisoners & 34 Soviet POWs were registered, and 81 prisoners were reassigned their previous Auschwitz numbers
Saw a hedgehog this year and remembered I hadn't seen one in years. 🦔 🌿🍂🍃 Feeling guilty about the landscape being too clean, dirt allows things to live and grow etc...
Then I started being #sentimental about the original one and hoping it survived / lives on as a species while feeling #guilty about perhaps #cleaning the #landscape a bit too well for where maybe it should live a bit more than people (including me #wiping it all too #clean from #dirt that allows things to live and #grow. #Hedgehogs #Hedgehog

"I promise I will never leave you alone again"

(auto-starts at exact part + full film also)
(What #parents say, but also a kind of lie or untruth to #children knowingly and not from life's situations they can't keep or are forced to work etc)
Seita says, I promise I will never leave you alone again
He has good intentions and is probably trying to alleviate the child's suffering by not saying the truth which he realises a few seconds after saying it himself.
The whole video had a great effect on me and this isn't the best part... just had to put 1 scene / 20seconds is enough
I live consciously because of Grave of the Fireflies.
🔗 Link is the whole film.
DISCLAIMER possibly the best / most human and saddest animated film but worth going through to be re-born as a human and set your priorities towards others.
#Together living (not #loneliness) we have the best chance and even if it doesn't work, in #Togetherness teaches us to value all people, feed them or share what we can. Money has undone that.
See hashtag #GraveoftheFireflies for people's reactions and picture screenshots!
Great Movie for the heart and mind to process... 💖
Plot: Set during #War time but shows also modern people uncaring or 'every person for themselves' and even though there was no food, even with food people are not sharing.
People sticking together maybe is the best thing to balance it all.

#Quote #Totalitarianism - It's not by chance! ...a predictable script throughout history
" It arises from a collective psychosis that has followed a predictable script throughout history, its formation gaining strength and speed with each generation - from the Jacobins to the Nazis and Stalinists as technology advances. "

The most effective form of #censorship is self adopted. The formula to get them to adopt it is simple:
1. Scare people about right wing extremists, conspiracy theorists, and disinformation.
2. Label any person or voice who speaks against the establishment as right wing, disinformation, conspiracy theorist etc.
Now you have people in self imposed information bubbles hearing only the establishment narrative.
🤯 "Good" Citizens as the "Good" Nazi-Era Germans of today 🤯
Under #Capitalism being that type of "good" isn't serving good in the end. Next on that ladder leads to #Fascism #Totalitarianism etc...
Slowly we need to slowly feed each other's interest without as many uncaring umbrellas between and embrace our own problems that we need to take #responsibility for.
Usually talking about problems and talking about our own mentality helps look at things as #Capitalism is also a reflection of what we thought is ok but isn't, so talking more about that is the right #homework to do.

Fear... To control people, there has to be punishment involved...
" Fear.
The whole system does not stand up without fear. "
"To control people, there has to be punishment involved. Or the very real threat of it."

From Post: https://mas.to/@KatyElphinstone/113538904636890918
#HumanNature - We need more than family or job connections... and avoid distance or put-downs between us...
#HumanNature - can keep others at a distance in various ways naturally.
#Relationships need work constantly and human energy to be maintained - or else they get cold 🔫 🥶
If not working on #loving each other it can soon be the opposite or slowly slide downwards... 🗻
Truth is many didn't know how to do #connection other than the default family bloodline type or work #colleagues extensions as the only other relationships
- rather extending more to do it with everyone without only heavy #attachments so it doesn't fall apart when family or job changes...
#Community falls apart when not embracing #new people to help them individually (and the individual to help community also).

Freedom. All things towards #Freedom.
Communication pioneer (only as most people don't do it at any depth)
#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes (extracts / gems) from great #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites from all around the world towards
TOGETHER & MORE OFTEN DIRECTLY (who else is going to do it?).
#FreeSchool hashtag shows examples what this is about... and can check anytime.
Overall: Moving From Shorter to Deeper intelligence and more Caring thoughts...
( More below if you're able )
#DIY Care (because nobody else is going to as best as you do for those around) - #Caring IS our main #Politics / #Politics and "System" (not a system of cheating each other but caring and what Capitalism is cutting out - this is what we need to put back in and teach to those willing).
#Degrowth / PostGrowth
#WellbeingEconomy #DoughnutEconomics
#CaringEconomy / #CareEconomy / #Partnerism
"Free School" is a term for a movement born from the 1960's / 70's using educational living & learning practice towards #Caring & #DIY with all others (all at the same time - not an after-thought or specialism in 1 field or person who is a #compartmentalised person ignoring others in other fields). Caring to involves more things, increasingly aiming towards everything...
Posts are 1-line #Notes and #Quotes that links all other things (it's all relative).
Long comments use CW to shorten post vertically and add a 'show more' button to reveal more text if you want it. Long posts might seem bad but it's giving chance to more connection and understanding.
All things towards #Freedom (life moving from Shorter to Deeper thought).
Freedom doesn't come from short-depth lifestyles / short lines of text / ignoring / #inaction. Not less communication between lovers of similar things. MORE!)
#FreeSchool = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working Together 🔁 (eventually + I do Free work for Freedom.
#FreeSchool = Co-Operating & #DIY Solutions 🔁

#FreeSchool ➡ Increment Talking + Peacefully solve everything.
TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
Trust comes from "slowly but surely"... Doesn't have to be all-in, but peace doesn't come from one-way short messaging on 'social' Mastodon either - collecting memes and cats only is limited!
Remember we need develop better humans as well as 'develop' code on computers etc.
☮ Peace needs more... even to save all types of cats!
Get in touch - I'm someone that cares for everything because it's all human-related...
Human #chats welcome - I using #Jitsi audio chat which uses JUST browser (ANY PLATFORM + 2minutes to enter !)
(i.e. no-install / no account / no google / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough, etc!) Really the best out there - any platform / device! Instant audio chat !
Just ask for a link and prepare a few topics!
#AltText used (when I remember).
FREE WORK - I do free audio and video editing (anything considered - just ask).
Again - Creating Trust needs a bit of trust given "slowly but surely"... not all-in... being relaxed about it... but has to be more - 'working' like a 2nd job towards peace because your job isn't going to do it / it's now allow by State to get there! War increases prices etc ☮
So do "peace" as a side-job like it was your real job in the world, parallel to the Capitalism (Trap) you (we) were born into. We have to accept that and fight out of that and not be comfortable in it.
Heart and Soul all the way.
