On this date in 1676, two starkly contrasting women were executed for sorcery in Stockholm.
Anna Simonsdotter Hack — also known as “Tysk-Annika” — is the forgotten one of the pair, who played the expected role of a condemned witch and meekly gave herself over to the judgment. There were rewards for good behavior: Tysk-Annika had her head cleanly lopped off.
Malin Matsdotter, however, did not plan any reciprocal back-scratching with the men who came to kill her.
Accused by her own daughters of carrying their children — Malin’s grandchildren — to Satanic masses, “Rumpare-Malin” obstinately refused to cop to the charge. (Naturally, not confessing was a further indicator to the court that Satan was fortifying her defiance.) Without a confession, the authorities couldn’t assuage themselves by giving her the easy-ish death of decapitation; the law required burning at the stake.* A sack of gunpowder around the neck to speed things up was the best they could offer her.....

Really bad things happen when governments pretend things to be true that aren’t true:
— Pretending that witches are real led to these witch hunts and executions.
— Pretending that black people aren’t fully human led to legalized slavery.
— Pretending that Jewish people aren’t fully human led to the holocaust.
— Pretending that preborn people aren’t fully human has led to legalized abortion, i.e., Konvenience Kills.
— Pretending that homosexuality is normal has led to trying to force us to believe that men can have babies and allowing biological males to compete against females in athletic competitions.
This is a side issue, but I’m wondering what those Icelandic non-binaries are going to call themselves if not “-dottir” or “-son”? Do you think they will use “x”?
People threatening their neighbors with curses unless they get paid off leads to their neighbors getting ticked.
— Pretending that black people aren't fully human led to legalized slavery.
Taking captives in war that you were not inclined to murder in cold blood but did not want to let go to trouble you in the future led to slavery.
— Pretending that Jewish people aren't fully human led to the holocaust.
Feeling entitled to what your Jewish neighbor has led to the holocaust.
— Pretending that preborn people aren't fully human has led to legalized abortion, i.e., Konvenience Kills.
The idea that it is ok to bring on menses because you could not see a child in what is expelled led to legalized abortion.
Pretending that homosexuality is normal has led to trying to force us to believe that men can have babies and allowing biological males to compete against females in athletic competitions.
You are equating homosexuality with the idea that you can "change your sex".
Homosexuality exist. It is distasteful but real. It is usually pushed by groups who want to break down family ties and attach them to the state.
Changing your sex is just not possible for mammals.
No, I'm not. I'm stating that homosexuality is not normal.
Homosexuality exist.
Yes, it does, but so does cancer. That doesn't make it normal.
