Every few generations these idiots have to relearn the hard way what their elders knew about hygene and why they kept a clean and orderly society.

I remember backin the late 1960s the hippies were so awful that some of them began to wear flea collars to keep their lice and flea vermin down.

Now all we need is an outbreak of dysentery for “icing” on the cake. (oh that sounds awful)

There’s just something about the combination of crowded encampments without proper sanitary procedures and epidemic diseases:

“The first well-recorded European outbreak of what is now known as syphilis occurred in 1495 among French troops besieging Naples, Italy.[3] It may have been transmitted to the French via Spanish mercenaries serving King Charles of France in that siege.[13] From this centre, the disease swept across Europe. As Jared Diamond describes it, “[W]hen syphilis was first definitely recorded in Europe in 1495, its pustules often covered the body from the head to the knees, caused flesh to fall from people’s faces, and led to death within a few months.” The disease then was much more lethal than it is today.” - Wikipedia
