Turns out people like breathing, and when it's hard to breathe people get all grumpy and scared. This fact brought to you but scientists and brightly colored cephalopods.

Isn't that the one where, best case scenario, you survive but suffer super intense pain and dread for literally months on end? And there's confirmed cases of this lasting for years not just months? Also for some reason there's no drug or anything to alleviate that pain? And it's literally unable to function just loving kill me please god levels of pain? lol?

I can see that in a correlation /= causation kind of way. The people I know that've contracted it lived in general discomfort for 1 1/2- 2 years before their doctors finally decided to test for it.

Racism in Dahl's time and upbringing was a very different thing from modern racism. Even the "white races" were not immune if you had a cultural rivalry. People got really selective, except that at least a little antisemitism was considered normal.

It just seems like old timey casual racism. OOooh did you hear the latest Polish joke. Well did you hear about 12 million people dying? Ah I had not heard about that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zulEMWj3sVA

I'll turn this around on the UK, how often do they just... give away land -- in an oil rich region -- without strings attached, to a tiny minority who'd been displaced by a recently conquered state? Frankly the alternative to my conspiracy theory rests on the idea that British people are charitable, giving and civilized.
