Hooker Chemical turned an old canal in Niagara Falls into a toxic graveyard in the 1940s, dumping 21,000 tons of pesticides, solvents, and dioxins. They sold the poisoned land to the school board for one dollar and hid the warning in fine print nobody read. For years families lived there and kids went to school right on top. Then the heavy rains hit in the late seventies and the ground started bleeding black sludge into basements and yards. Children got cancers and birth defects that had no business hitting them so young. Miscarriages became normal. The company knew every barrel. So did the school board. They denied and fought in court until one mother, Lois Gibbs, forced a federal emergency. Even after the moves the real damage stayed quiet the childhoods quietly poisoned by the cold math that always put profit and paperwork above the kids breathing the air above the dump.

What do you think actually happened in Mattoon that September real prowler, factory fumes, or fear feeding on itself in a town already stretched thin by war? library.illinois.edu/hpnl/blog/the-…

Police stepped up patrols. Armed men formed their own watches after dark. Windows got nailed shut. The local paper ran the stories in heavy type. The police chief eventually said some of it was probably fumes from the war plants and that fear was doing the rest. But by then the damage was already done. For two weeks the dark right outside people’s bedrooms felt occupied. Then the reports stopped as suddenly as they started. No one was ever caught. The town was left to keep living in the same houses. #DarkHistory #ObscureHistory #ForgottenAmerica

In September 1944, Mattoon, Illinois was a quiet railroad town of roughly 18,000. Most of its young men were gone to the war. The ones who stayed worked the plants that kept the fighting going. At night the streets were already quieter than they should have been.

@Sasquatcher2 @unhealthytruth Well a majority of it unable to own slave once you factor in children and women

@Historywithhis1 @unhealthytruth 92% of Americans never owned slaves.

Did you know that only 1.4% of Americans owned slaves in the United States? 99% didn’t.

@Sasquatcher2 @unhealthytruth Agreed with a majority of that being from states where slavery was illegal so it feels redundant

@Goth_Mitch14 @4gottnHistory Tangentially i got really into about 5 years ago and then lost that hyper fixation

@Historywithhis1 @4gottnHistory How much have you looked into & researched Egyptian pyramids and funerary culture?

Egyptologists say the pyramids were tombs but No mummies has ever been discovered inside the Pyramids on the Giza Plateau.

@Goth_Mitch14 @4gottnHistory I agree it could be a tomb, I'm just not convinced

@Historywithhis1 @4gottnHistory You can still identify a tomb as a tomb without a body. Thats the point. You yourself acknowledge they were looted. That doesn't stop them being tombs just because the bodies were taken out

@ziminiarbeleth @MouseDestruct @___TheGOOdWitch Again you're thinking of the soul as a storage device instead of the one inputting the commands to the storage device

@Historywithhis1 @MouseDestruct @___TheGOOdWitch Right so the music exists without the radio, so i should be able to remember just by having a soul, without the brain. Why can't my soul remember anything when my brain can't?

@ziminiarbeleth @MatiasZ02147125 @MouseDestruct @___TheGOOdWitch The key word here is Should be no basis as to why it should be detectable just that it should

@MatiasZ02147125 @Historywithhis1 @MouseDestruct @___TheGOOdWitch The fact that the interactions between soul and brain should be detectable trough a brain scan, if there was a soul that hold any consciousness. The sould would have to interact with the brain, we should see this even if we couldn't detect the soul itself

@Sasquatcher2 @unhealthytruth Give or take yeah. I'm not saying it was all of them just not 1.2 % evenly

@Historywithhis1 @unhealthytruth So you're saying it's 8% instead of 1%

@mysecretxacc @daanjiji @FoxyDreamCore @UnpaidPhilosphr @notsuprovo I was pulling for 480 in this back and forth then he got hit with the “what does it count” and folded like a chair

@daanjiji @FoxyDreamCore @UnpaidPhilosphr @notsuprovo I’m not Grok fn

Finding out that 3rd worlders use this as a religious device.

And the fun thing is I don't even disagree with your point that most people in the north especially had nothing to do with the slave trade and shouldn't be included in the conversation and honestly I'm on the side of no one should be blamed for the sins of our great great great grand fathers hell I'm a first generation immigrants so I have even less to do with it My only problem like I told the crazy lady I was originally replying to was the facts I agree with are presented so blatantly biased it's annoying so I called it out, you can have an intelligent argument without turning it into a grift

@Historywithhis1 @unhealthytruth Right, so the northern states didn't own slaves and the women and children didn't own slaves and not even every man in the southern states owned slaves. Is that about right?

But again this is speculation on both ends because we honestly have no clue. Our best tests are just the OUR best tests in this current moment at one point in time telling the worlds leading minds that there are living organisms on your skin and some of them are the reason you get sick would get you laughed out of the room the science and human understanding evolved and we were able to preform better tests and learn more

@Historywithhis1 @MouseDestruct @___TheGOOdWitch Let me ask this then. Can a soul remember things? If yes, how can i loose my memories via brain dammage, if the soul can remember without my brain? Is my soul also affected by the brain dammage? This aplies to every form of consciousness too. There is nothing left for the soul

There's evidence for and against but the main evidence against is we've done every test we can think of and it has came up with no new findings. But there's also studies on people who have their brain severed surgically for one reason or another so that both sides are functioning but functioning independently and the person still retains a sense of self with no new personality which would retain that a higher self cannot be changed by psychical manipulation of the brain mindmatters.ai/2024/08/what-d…

@Historywithhis1 @MouseDestruct @___TheGOOdWitch No, i said that there is evidence against souls. Evidence would be an objectively verifiable fact that points to one conclusion over any other, that is what i gave. I'm not demanding you to do your own research, altough i'll apreciate any fact checking, even if i'm proven wrong

@ziminiarbeleth @MouseDestruct @___TheGOOdWitch You said you had proof not just proclamations. I get that this is the point where you tell me to do my own research but you still shouldn't say you can prove something if you can't

@Historywithhis1 @MouseDestruct @___TheGOOdWitch Every property we have ever atributed to souls, has been proven to be something else, there is nothing left of a soul. Interaction between soul and the brain should be detectable, if there was a soul, but it's not. Also there is not a point in time when you could get a soul

@moonrattail @shittalkinsuave @Gucia6666 @Emmiccino @ShitpostRock2 human-based objective morality centered on harm/suffering

@Historywithhis1 @shittalkinsuave @Gucia6666 @Emmiccino @ShitpostRock2 Just say you aren’t appealing to a moral framework if you don’t appeal to a moral framework. Once again, feel free to answer how you know what is evil. If not, there’s no point in you calling anything evil.

I dare anyone to name me ONE objectively evil thing God did in the bible, i dare you

Wouldn't… a Christian also be mentally stunted then? For having the same take that it's real for years on end with no evolution of thought? I mean I'm on your side mostly i think proclaiming in either direction is crazy when there isnt proof either way “I don't know but I believe” is the only way to start any statement about religious beliefs

@Tao_Magi Imagine my shock, Plato was right, these mentally stunted drains on society need to be in camps.

Lol, lmao even, and you’re an atheist? Atheism is for the brain dead. The greatest philosophers who shaped western thought knew this long before Christianity even existed. Plato blasted atheism as a soul rotting disease born out of greed for pleasure and a corrupted mind. He said any clear eyed person sees the ordered cosmos, like the earth, sun, stars, seasons, and knows it screams intelligent divine governance. Denying this is willful blindness and moral stunting. Without the divine who care about justice, men slide into unchecked vice. Plato actually wanted re education or prison for it funnily enough. Aristotle takes it further. Everything in nature shows purpose and motion toward ends. That chain demands what he called an Unmoved Mover, think of a perfect, eternal divine intelligence as the ultimate cause. Atheism stops at random blind matter like a midwit who can’t follow basic causation. It’s an intellectual worldview. Even Cicero said universal order, beauty, and human consensus all point to the divine. Rejecting it is essentially ignoring what reason itself delivers. The greats saw atheism as a failure to observe and to reason, they thought that with such a view one couldn’t even rise above animal appetites. It’s literally being brain dead, your mind too dull to grasp the evident divine order that makes morality and a coherent universe possible.
