Jeez Idk maybe it's just all the people running around with Nazi iconography, promoting Nazi ideology. Pick any of the thousands of orginizations around dedicated to spreading that shit. You know what really distringuishes a Nazi? Trying to blur the lines and water down the definition of what a Nazi is online.

There are plenty of charming, rural towns in Maine. They're the ones with names that are mostly unknown to tourists. Time, however, does march on, and we're all so fucking tired from the march that we forget that the best course of action isn't necessarily the one that generates the most money.

Both those situations literally came from the same war lol

The propaganda gods just chose one over the other, for no clear reason is my point.

“We’ve all had to deal with these Nazi shitheads?” I haven’t, ever. I live in the class of humans where we go to work, deal with it and go home. Night shift in the shithole factories of the world, everyone’s there. People who hid in cupboards from the Serbs in Bosnia. People who lived through revolts in Haiti, avoiding having they’re heads cut off with machetes to sneak water out of gutters. Puerto Rican lesbians who grew up with abusive fathers. All of which worked they’re way up to making a solid living, sweating together in a 120 degrees in the summer.

I’m just musing, as a white privileged devils advocate who was in the exact same place and time, doing the exact same shit.

My point is: In my experience, nobody who’s actually in the mix turning the wheels cares about any of this. The current political climate is a fantasy, for Hammers and Nails that don’t have anything else to do.

Reply to Heat Pump not as advertised by Suspicious_Bus_4058

What is your “backup”? It’s a companion heater in very cold weather. My heat pump installer said heat pumps are only efficient within a certain range. They need to pull heat. I have this electric heater: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J1M61M8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It’s efficient and puts heat into the room that the heat pump utilizes/maximizes. I also have a propane fireplace to heat my house when the power fails. What do you have?
