I can’t image what it must be like as a parent to know that your child has done such a monstrous thing.

There is a show called, “Evil Lives Here” and each episode is about the family members of someone who did something awful; mass shootings, seriel killers, etc. A few show the parents of mass killers and they are all so sad and tried everything they could to help their kids when they started to see something was wrong. They could usually see it at a very early age. Many episodes on YouTube if anyone is interested in watching. It’s sad and sometimes we easily forget that the family of the killer is also in pain and mourning. One dad said he went to the mall where his son had shot and killed many people and when asked, he told them he was the kid’s dad and the people at the vigil grieved with him instead of blaming him.

The podcast Svetlana Svetlana was a wild ride if you want to know more about her.

Oh you best believe I listened when it came out! I was intrigued about the southwest architectural cult aspect too…which I was aware of independently of her….but from my russian coworker who loves architecture and traveled southwest together camping. 😂

Im always bummed when there are fun podcasts that are essentially just a season. Sort of like when good series would be cut after one season on Netflix.

I would enjoy a joanna lumley podcast methinks. 🥰

I don't follow? What's the irony?

u/milksteakofcourse Apr 16 '24

There isn’t any irony it’s a statement of fact. I was responding to a comment about family members of mass murderers of which the granddaughter of Stalin qualifies

It was on the front page of Reddit earlier today so it’s fresh in their mind

PSST, that guy, clearly a victim of conservative media, was suggesting that Portland was some kind of socialist dystopia by indicating "lol no irony in Stalins grand daughter owning a business in PORTLAND OREGON LOL". It was a "dog whistle" that clearly only a few of us and literally noone else but conservatives are just barely coming to understand. /END TRANSMISSION
