Also worth mentioning Chiune Sugihara. Saved about 6000 Jews, before being called back to Japan. Only to be shat on be his own government.

He saved 669 ppl, never said a word for 50 years & only his wife told the BBC. Today ppl film themselves buying coffee for a homeless person

He did good. And he did it because he felt it was right. Not for shitty elevation on social media and external validation.

Yeah who the hell decided this story needed anything other than what it actually is? Just show the video, no need for stupid subtitles.

6 years ago | Likes 73 Dislikes 7

The subtitles make it a new form of property, without them making a "summary" of the show the facebook page wouldnt have rights to show it.

They could have just used the actual subtitles instead of adding their "he has no clue why they stood up" BS.

The EU began as a British initiative to ensure this kind of heroism never again be needed in Europe. It is so sad it's being abandoned.

I believe France and Germany started it, and once in a referendum to stay in was approved by 67%.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

No it didn’t. It began as a single market for coal in the 50s. I’m a remainder but people mislabel the origins of the EU

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I'm referring to Churchill's speech in Switzerland, and the European Movement International, which predate that.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That’s not the EU though (I don’t know why I’m being pedantic when I essentially agree with your anti brexit statement ?)

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

They're the seeds from which the EU grew. Greater cooperation - economic and otherwise - was seen as a preventative for future wars.
