      Site of the foundation is offline. Not really a trustworthy source.

      Additionally, a lot has changed since the article was published ( July).

      Fun fact: the winter that Germany attacked the USSR, a lot of nazi's were 3 years on speed ( daily) and were having severe withdrawal symptoms.

      https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/were-nazis-drug-fueled...

      I wouldn't attribute it too much on "Russian" experience. We have seen the contrary the last months and the indoctrination is probably similar now as then.

      And the USSR wouldn't have survived without foreign aide ;). Eg. The lend and lease act that Ukraine has been given now.

      Tbh. I'm a bit disappointed at giving another point of view. It's badly ( if even) researched.

      Stuff you should know has a nice little podcast episode about this. It's probably not as scientific as this, but they delve into the unwarranted belittling of neanderthals that most people have.

      I believe they discussed some cave art that was made by neanderthals in spain way before sapiens arrived in the area proving that it was their art instead of a just a mimic which seems to align with what this article was discussing.

      People were exactly fine with it. The regulations only became a thing after "Unsafe at Any Speed", 1965. Cars had no seat belts and people drove drunk ALL the time.

      Coincidentally, I randomly just listened to a Stuff You Should Know episode just a few hours ago:

      "Back When Ford Pintos Were Flaming Deathtraps": https://podcasts.apple.com/is/podcast/sysk-live-back-when-fo...

      I just listened to a podcast episode about this, basically celery cured just means “naturally found” nitrites… which are the same thing as artificial nitrites… they’re just nitrites. (Disclaimer: not a chemist)
