It sure seems to me that when organizations with unlimited amounts of money want to call for horrible things or support horrible things, there's absolutely no repercussions, but magically the government seem to be able to find all of the money and power to suppress speech when it's just some guy named George.
Maybe it's time to impose jail terms for state actors who violate civil rights?

I simply cannot watch the movie wish by Disney anymore without seeing it as the story of a young girl who wants to overthrow the government upon realizing that she would have to pay taxes.

You almost can't even be mad at the people who make "free" stuff that's going to inevitably get worse, they're just doing the thing that made a bunch of people filthy rich.
If course, that doesn't mean you keep falling for it.
When you're a kid you might see a perfectly good hot dog on the ground and say "hey, free hot dog" but as an adult you probably get wiser.

"Poisoning the water supply" is going right to the top of the list.

The Mycenaean Greeks are likely to have been the ones that created the Medusa myth, and at that time the Egyptian Old Kingdom that built the pyramids had collapsed 500 years before the very beginning of Mycenaean Greece. There would have been multiple Egyptian eras of which Egypt would have been in an era of unity. , The Mycenaean Greeks are documented in a letter to have had diplomacy with Egypt, and Mycenaean pottery was found in Egypt suggesting trade between the two regions.
With all that being the case, Africans wouldn't be some mythical creature due to the power and influence of ancient Egypt in that era, and it seems much likely the Medusa just follows the Greek tradition of chimeras combining different animals or animals and people to allegorically represent different parts of the human experience....
Another thing about the legend of Medusa is that she starts as a beautiful woman and angers the gods, being turned into a hideous beast with snakes for hair. This directly contradicts the core idea of the picture, suggesting that some people need to learn the legends they're trying to appropriate before they try to do so.
A potential counterpoint to my argument could be the minotaur, which we now know was derived from the Greek contact with the Minoan civilization. However, I think this actually proves my point -- the Minotaur didn't look like a bull/man hybrid because the people of that civilization looked like bulls, it was a representation of the bull icons the Minoans placed everywhere in their complex architecture.
Anyway, I know, nobody asked but it bugged me...

My first two vehicles were stick, and I like it if I'm in the country or a town and I don't need to be doing lots of stop start traffic. Once I realized I was going to be spending a little bit more time in cities with lots of stop start traffic, that was the end of that. I want nice thing is I've got the skill forever.
Fact check: false
While it is true that virtually all of the conspiracy theories turned out to be true, it makes no sense that Chewbacca is from endor! That makes no sense! The ewoks are from endor, why would Chewbacca be from endor? It makes no sense! It makes no sense!
