When Beverly Johnson and Patty Weider went out to harvest apples in a rural Washington county on a bright fall morning in 1975, it turned out to be one bad hiking trip. Chelan County, on the east side of the Cascades, is farm country and almost a totally different state from the urbanized coastal plain of Washington on the west side of the mountains. Around 42,000 people lived here in the mid-1970s and the numbers swelled during fall harvest season when itinerant laborers and kids looking to earn money temporarily flocked to the area.

On Tuesday September 30, Chelan County police received a report about a rape out somewhere in the countryside. Deputy David Mayo responded to the call. At the Hesperian Orchards, a young man named Bill Myer was staying in a pickers' hut. He was visibly disturbed as he told Mayo who he'd seen. "Me and my friend Hal Oxley were out hiking in the hills behind the orchards when we found a couple of chicks in a shed....I think they've been raped," he said quickly. He didn't know if the girls were alive or dead; as soon as he saw them in the shed he split. He offered to lead Mayo to the shed. Off US Route 97 was a ranch and the owner of it confirmed there was a shed about two miles away.

Oxley and Myer had been disoriented by the whole experience and couldn't remember exactly where the shed was. After searching for a while, the deputy came across an old, battered A-frame shed which Myer said was the place. As Mayo approached the shed, he saw a large gray dog standing there barking menacingly. Myer offered to coax the animal out of the way. For a moment, Mayo wondered if he wasn't walking into a trap. He was way out in the countryside, far from any backup, alone with two strange men and a dog that one of them offered to coax out of the way. Maybe there were no girls out here at all.

Historically what do civilizations that collapse have in common that lead to or were just signs of their downfall?

Why does it seem that the modern day conservative identity has been built on rejection of anything pushed by mainstream popular narrative.
A lot of modern day social "issues" didn't exist until very recently.
For example, abortion was seen as taboo 5 years ago and people didn't see a problem with that. However, since the Roe V Wade overturn, conservatives has decided to make it part of their identity to go "against" it and to challenge the narrative.
Why is that so ?
What pushes conservatives to act like this and to be so contrarian ?

Fact: Celts were Bell Beakers, Corded Ware was Germanic, Yamnaya was Slavic.

How would the Civil War have played out if the Confederate who was aiming at him’s gun had jammed?

Idk. As a libertarian, I want to be able to point to somewhere

Nationalism is the reason for the survival of nation-states. Nationalists are the protectors of their nation who will fight for their culture and the survival of their people. When an enemy invades, nationalists willingly take up arms and shed blood and sweat and tears to protect their beloved homelands while anti-nationalists flee or be forced to take up arms.

Anti-nationalism is a position taken by the privilege who are protected by nationalists or face no immediate threat from enemies. Anti-nationalists are retards who think they're smart and try to convince you to have no stake in the culture and place you were raised in. You'll notice that in times of strife and war, nationalist sentiments tend to rise because people unite themselves to protect themselves and their interest.
