Right, so, #bm100 documentaries that I should watch (ENG or FR are fine)?

The Race That Eats Its Young is the big one, but looks hard to find?

I know of (on YouTube):
The Edge of Possible
The Finisher (Jasmin Paris)
Where Dreams Go To Die (Gary Robbins)
Out There (Karel Sabbe)
Main Quest (Tomo)
I really haven't watched any documentaries on it up to now, despite following it here and on Twitter for years, and I really think I need to close that gap!

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

An underappreciated aspect of the Nazi rise is how quickly German *society* fell into line. In early March 1933, a majority of German voters voted against the Nazis. By late spring, pretty much the whole country backed them. How did that happen? Here's a little thread. (1/6)
Superb article in the Atlantic yesterday about how Hitler destroyed the political system of the Weimar Republic between January and March of 1933.
