Trans rights are human rights
Gay rights are human rights
Black peoples rights are human rights
Women’s rights are human rights
Human rights exist.
“Trans isn’t a word. Everyone has a right to be gay, jolly and happy or whatever synonym you want to use.”
- someone from 1823, when “gay” meant “cheerful”.
Poland, Warsaw (then had separate legal systems), The Netherlands, Bavaria, the Dominican Republic and El Salvador all decriminalized same sex relationships in the 1810s and 20s. So it wasn’t exactly all completely dead-against.
In Europe (and probably many other parts of the world):
- A happy relationship is more important than social etiquette and honour.
- It’s okay for an unmarried couple to share an apartment/house.
- Being a single mother is nothing to be ashamed of.
- Fuck the church.
1923 - “we need to scrap the harshest measures of the treaty of versailles and help Germany’s economic recovery, otherwise these national socialists are going to exploit the misery to gain power” lol
That or gut them much harder
Idk about 1923, but in 1823 you would definitely get “canceled” for saying that washing your hands is good for your health.
“Hah! Germ theory? Preposterous! I should think these ‘germs’ no more real than the tooth fairy. Why should the patient sit in their agony while you rinse your hands when there is surgery to perform? Why, it’s downright disrespectful, wasting the patient’s time like that, as if you care more for the tidiness of your person than their well-being. I should hope that no poor, beleaguered soul has the misfortune to find themselves under your care”
1823: we should let the Indians have their land
1923: we really need to go over to Europe and stop that Hitler guy
Hitler was always criticized. There’s a NYT report calling him out as an antisemite in the 1920’s and Casablanca looked down on Nazis almost a decade before the first signs were showing of the holocaust to come.

Sure, but this was at a time where you could get antisemitic magazines delivered to your door, and some people had dozens. There really wasn’t as much stigma on it as now (And I’d argue it could use a little more stigma still). There were lots of places around the world where you could discuss the latest details of antisemitism with your hairdresser, and it wouldn’t even be that weird.
I’m not saying there was stigma on it, I’m only saying it wasn’t some alien idea that, just maybe, the Hitler guy might be shady.
In both eras, colonialism and militarism were still going on, and even though many powers condemned these two things, if we rule out things that weren’t obvious like being a murderer, you could bet on supporting desertion and draft dodging getting you cancelled in all countries. This is literally how Red Badge of Courage starts.
All of them?
