Feeblemind is a spell that reduces a character’s Intelligence (INT) and Charisma (CHA) to 1, preventing them from casting spells, activating magical items, understanding language, or communicating. However, it does not affect concentration on existing spells. A creature can identify its friends but cannot cast spells, activate magic items, or communicate in any intelligible way.
Feeblemind does not affect concentrating on a spell, but it can be undone through repeated saves after a month of in-game waiting, Greater Restoration, or a 5th level spell exclusive to Clerics, Druids, and others. Casting spells is not possible while raging, and the Dungeon Master can ask for a Constitution saving throw if something threatens focus. If successful, the spell ends.
Feeblemind can be undone through repeated saves after a month of in-game waiting, Greater Restoration, or a 5th level spell exclusive to Clerics, Druids, and others. Spell-like abilities are not affected by feeblemind, and spell-like abilities are not spells.
The effect of Feeblemind is instant, with an instant intellect of 1, and there is no concentration to maintain an effect. The spell also allows only one concentration spell at any time while holding concentration, and if concentration is lost, such a spell ends.
In summary, Feeblemind is a spell that reduces a character’s Intelligence (INT) and Charisma (CHA) to 1, and it does not affect concentration on existing spells. However, it can be undone through repeated saves, greater restoration, or a 5th level spell exclusive to certain classes.

Travis’/Grog’s reaction to seeing Scanlan is my favorite part of the whole series. The way he goes from disbelief, not to sadness but to anger suits his character perfectly. The rage he shows and simple words he delivers are brilliant. Such a sad and emotional piece of acting in such a short fleeting moment. Well done Travis.
Make no mistake, Feeblemind is the reason Raishan died in this fight. VM + Kerrek, Allura and Kima could probably have finished her by the numbers, but Raishan would definitely have bamfed out with dimension door & the flown away if she determined she was in mortal danger. Feeblemind reduced her capabilities, but most importantly kept her from escaping.

Out of all of Vox Machina’s enemies, I think that Raishan was BY FAR the most dangerous. Sure the Briarwoods were a dangerous pair, the other Chroma Conclave members were powerful, and the final boss (no spoilers, just in case) was extremely powerful, but Raishan had both the power and the shear cunning that surpassed all of them. Think about it, none of the party died to these other examples, but Raishan got a total of 4 kills on them throughout her run.

I’m just here to say Patrick’s intentional “Oh child… Wishing doesn’t make it so” after he as a player KNOWS Marisha rolled a 20 and scored a 31 on Keyleth’s perception is such a great, underrated moment. That one little addition makes an already great moment better. Patrick is being a great player here — making his character “wrong” so Marisha’s Keyleth can look even better in this moment.
1:47:56 The sheer horror from Laura and Marisha when Matt almost disintegrated Ashley’s character without Ashley there was just– the purest moment of friendship… Holy ****! No hate on Matt because I seriously admire his ability to act/react without bias but having Pike die without Ashley there would have been THE WORST. (In the words of Marisha: “That would have been the worst fucking phone call!”) I love that the armor they almost didn’t make the trip for was the only thing that kept Pike up.
Out of all the fights in CR history, this is the one were I actually thought a TPK would happen in both C1 and C2. Keyleth stopped it though with that clutch feeble mind. She was focusing on spellcasters specifically Scanlan and Allora, the only ones who could counter spell her. I think she was saving a teleport and was making sure she would have a way to escape if she started loosing, but her losing the ability to cast spells shut that down and allowed her to be kill. I don’t think she would have died in this battle if it weren’t for Keyleth.

When Grog comments not joining in the temple of the Raven Queen and Vex asks why and all he has to say is “I don’t know… I’m just me.” I feel that… the helplessness of a martial character or someone who just doesn’t have any resources to give. Grog’s perspective on what magic is and how it works is very sad this episode…

To any players perusal. Travis writing down everyone’s initiative and play order and any spells or effects that are present on each person. This kind of support for the DM especially in a large battles like this is invaluable. Marishas general note taking is a DMs dream, having players who write stuff down and don’t rely on constantly rolling to “remember stuff” is amazing but in combat Travis has the easiest job as a character, run at stuff and hit it, so supports by keeping his own notes about the status of the battle who is next and who has what on them now.
This episode was intense as hell on so many levels. The fight, Scanlan’s death and the search for Kaylie, but above all, Allura and Kima’s failed teleportation in the middle of the ocean. I know they’re just NPCs but I swear, the perspective of the two of them drowning alone and hopeless as we were seeing them swimming for their life and struggling to stay afloat through Keyleth’s scrying spell literally made my blood curdle. For a few moments I was struck with sheer horror, and in a state of emotional distress that CR had never made me reach so far. Bloody fucking hell. This show will be the end of me.
Scanlan should totally get Percy to make a saddle for the mastiff. I mean that would both increase his movement speed field of vision &…Also it would be cute as fuck. He´d be like a Sir Didymus bard. Furthermore he would be impervious from attacks by any invisible foe & have someone to backtalk Trinket with
A perfect example of great dming is around 1:46:00 when Matt played true to his villain and went after Pike with a powerful spell, but then did everything in his power to help her survive without going back on the spell. He checked the rules, he had an npc help, but in the end he let it happen because that’s what the dice decided. Luckily we didn’t have to worry too much due to her armor, and you can see the relief when he realizes that. Players like to get it in their head that the dm is out to get them but, at least with good dms, that’s never the case. We just don’t want to hand out free victories, because those aren’t fun.
Even as I was spoiled by reading the comments before perusal the episode, Grog broke my heart when he sayed “FIX HIM”… The incomprehension of a simple but pure heart, unable to accept the death of one of his most cherished friend… Travis Willingham is truly a great actor ! He carried so much emotion at that moment !
“No…Fix him” Damn that is RPing at it’s finest. Travis knows Grog has zero knowledge on magic. He doesn’t pretend to play around with knowing about it like he’s had Grog do before. Grog just knows that they’ve brought people back before and that he is a room full of magic users. That should be enough. So it’s like he goes through the death of Scanlan twice. Once when he thinks they can do something and he is ordering them. Then the second time when he knows there is nothing left to do at that moment. He was yelling because it was the only thing he could do to help his friend. That’s top notch.
I could rewatch the moment when Grog pleads for the party to “FIX HIM” a thousand times. That, to me, is the saddest moment in all of Campaign 1. They were best friends, dualities of each other. They did everything together because they were as different as they were the same. So, when Scanlan fell, and Grog, after seeing him come through again and again and again, just could not believe it. The man twice as big as him, yet a third of his size fell.
Man oh man, what an episode! 😀 There’s the poetic justice of Keyleth, an Ashari, taking away Raishan’s magic and cunning – her most valuable assets. Then there’s Kerrek dealing the final blow. Not part of Vox Machina, he’s not some grandiose hero, but he represents the good people of Tal’Dorei and their perseverance in the face of tragedy. And all the thrilling and heartbreaking moments in-between… I just love this show, in its richness and depth! <3
Got to give it to Marisha on this one. Her conversation with Raishan was not bad. Her bringing faerie fire to a fight against an enemy relying on invisibility (the only player who appeared to bring a spell specifically for this) was really good. And using feeblemind after the dragon had burned all of her legendary resistance was great.

I understand we live in a time of likable and interesting villains. I, too, adore Raishan and would have hoped for her to Vegeta her way into reluctant occasional party member in the future. But saying they’re only fighting her because Keyleth wants revenge is bullshit. Raishan is an ancient green dragon. She has terrorized people for centuries back where she was from, and has explicitly said she will get right back on that after she gets her cure from Thordak. To get what she wants, she has broken Thordak out of his banishment to the fire plane, and brokered an alliance with two more ancient dragons, with whom she then took over the three biggest centers of civilization on the continent, killing thousands. Now she is in a fabled necromancer’s lair, looking for a way to cure herself and become more of a physical threat, surrounded by research into fucked up shit. Even if Vox Machina doesn’t know about draco lichs (which is definitely what she needed the powerful mages for, come on), a very intelligent and selfish being having access to the kind of necromancy that wiped out an entire island’s native population is already bad, bad news. This is about threat containment. Leaving Raishan to her own devices would only cause far, far larger problems in the future, and they all know it. Also, Keyleth’s “beef” with Raishan is over how she essentially killed about a quarter of her entire civilization, after infiltrating them and using their abilities to essentially break the world. Calling that imagined is.
SPOILERZ: I thought Raishan was a tougher fight first time around compared to Thordak because they didn’t bother to rest. This time with both sides being on near even playing fields they still get utterly smacked in the face in comparison to the Thordak fight. I did not expect Raishan to be the real terror here.
Man, this was hard to watch. Not the fight – what the group did afterwards. The search for Kaylie. There’s at least one person in the group that knows Scanlan made a promise to Kaylie to come back alive. He’s said (yelled) to the group multiple times that he can’t die. Most of the characters don’t know this of course, but they’re doing the one thing that Scanlan wouldn’t want them to do by getting Kaylie involved before attempting to resurrect him. They’re making sure his promise gets broken. The one thing that he cares about =(

Fun detail about Feeblemind, once a month you can attempt to make an Int-check to cure it. Your Int is 1 so you are taking a MASSIVE penalty to just attempt to cure yourself. If you rules lawyer it, the only time a nat 20 auto succeeds regardless, is an attack roll. So it is is fully possible that even a nat 20 on that save, will not be enough to do it. It really is a spell where to fix it, you need someone else to do it.
This was the first episode of Critical Role I had ever seen. I was catching it live to see if it would be something I could see myself getting in to. Since then I’ve started on episode 1 and am slowing trying to catch up. Such a powerful and amazing performance from everyone involved. Spectacular group of people.

So I’ve discovered that I seem to be as invested in the characters in this story as I have been in any of my favourite stories and characters ever.. literally fought back tears at moments in this episode. Considering the fact that none of this is scripted and isn’t like a normal movie/tv series in that it has no sets or sound effects (beyond what the actors provide), and isn’t a written story like a novel.. this is sooooo impressive and all the more meaningful. Massive love and gratitude for being able to share these moments and stories <3

I have watched the entirety of campaign 2, and all it’s heartbreaking moments that it entails (no spoilers). I’ve seen campaign 1 up to this point; so much critical role. Nothing, and I mean nothing has gotten me so clsoe to actually crying as when Grog just yells “FIX HIM.” that is just…. heartbreaking.

Want to put a happy thought out there, obviously we know the cast sort of sit off camera while they’re dead until the revive ritual can come in handy, so knowing Sam’s fun smile and quippy nature I can EASILY picture him sitting during the super emotional second half, just slightly off to the side, that usual goofy grin on his face, enjoying everyone’s tears over him, because you know that’s how he rolls, and it makes me feel a little better.
Props to Matt for making Raishan so much more dangerous than Thordak. So much front loaded AOE damage in that fight, just no way to overcome it when you’ve got a crew that does like … zero prep work for it. Their entire strategy seems to always revolve around trying to be stealthy with no planning around the abilities they KNEW Raishan had available from their previous fight. It’s goddamn painful to watch them just blindly stumbling into every fight and death they incur.
With a CON save of +14, as Matt confirms earlier in the episode, Raishan physically cannot fail her concentration check against Grog’s 25 damage at 2:16:24. Matt’s either realizing making his dragon invisible might be too much for the party, is straight up feeling sorry for them, did the math wrong, or realized that he used 1 more legendary resistance than he thought he had earlier (against Faerie Fire which they were not counting later) and decided to do this to rectify it without mentioning it. Just something interesting I noticed, I DM and fudge when needed for my players so definitely not trying to throw shade.
I’m going to miss Raishan. She was the best villain that they had and she die too quickly for my taste. I was hoping she would escape again but that damn Feeblemind rear its ugly head again. Travis is really great at roleplaying when the sad stuff happen. It’s not over dramatic but you still feel it more than the other players (IN MY OWN OPINION). IF there is a chance that Scanlan’s death is for real and Sam has to roll for a new character then yeah I’ll be sad for while but at the same time I wonder what his next character would be. I hope for Obby the Rat.

Marisha coming in clutch with the Feeblemind. That’s a nasty little spell, especially against mage enemies. EDIT: This episode was brutal. First Percy and Scanlan died. Everyone with Scanlan was truly heartbreaking. Then Kima and Alura, and the talk with Scanlan’s daughter tore into me. It was rough but in the best possible way.

When Grog shouted “FIX HIM!” at everyone when he saw Scanlan dead I felt that so hard. Grog is the only one in the party that really cared for him like a partner. Everyone else had romantic interests or siblings; Grog and Pike, Vax and Vex, Vex and Percy, Vax and Keyleth. Scanlan was the comic relief that got overlooked when things got really heavy and human. They have all been through trauma and had someone to fall onto. The closet thing Scanlan had was Grog. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

The fact that the groups rolls were so low really shows that Scan-Man was the magic touch holding the group together up to this point. With him their plans rarely worked out, but they pulled through, without him they could barely perform their most basic of tasks. Scan and Grog were the stitching that held it all together imo, the comic relief and embodiment of strength, giving confidence and power to their efforts

Wow, I was honestly expecting that the only thing staving off the TPK would be Raishan fleeing to avoid death herself. Seriously, she propped her self up as the scheming mastermind, and it was true. Vox Machina was screwed, until Keyleth came in super clutch. Wild. They could never beat Raishan with her brain and preparation, so they took it away

I know emotions were high during this episode, but the last few episodes really highlighted how much Ashley’s Pike contributes to the team. It makes such a difference when shes present and not being piloted by other people. She would definitely noticed Scanlans aversion to Battle, the drugs and she also wouldve being paying a lot more attention to him and Grogg during the fights rather than the attention she pays to Percy and Vax. It also sucks that even though the twins were piloting her for Battle purposes, Sam didnt have that RP opportunity that he usually takes to build a rapport with Pike when either Ashley or Matt control them. Also why the hell were they so invested in finding Scanlans daughter?? it made no sense, she has no clerical abilities. They shouldve been running around trying to find someone who had a resurrection spell on hand rather than a teleportation, but thats just my opinion.
Grog need to find a talking weapon that loves him for who he is. I’m thinking a little dagger or something that he would never use but is supper supportive of his hobbies. ( Bonus points if it would be a great weapon for Vax) I’ve never really giving that much thought to how hard, how much effort it takes to be a DM. perusal how Matt balances the story telling with the action/fight scenes, add to that how well he maintains his focus while the players emotions are high is impressive. I can see all the times he could have a fight or even world building stuff cause a Team Wipe but also perusal how he adjusts his rules and mechanics to give them the best chances of success, and not out right just giving them the end they want. Bravo Matt, bravo. I can see why many new DMs suffer from “Mercer syndrome” he sets one hell of a bar.
It’s kinda upsetting to see how much of a fuss they put up when one of the twins or Keyleith or Pike fall unconscious or fail a death save, vs when the same and worse happens to Scanlan, even though he’s the MVP in most fights and, despite his scatological antics, seems to be the only one left in the party with a conscience and without a hero complex. The others seem to have classic high-level OP party syndrome, where they think of themselves as heroes while merely killing and looting their way through a campaign. If I were Scanlan, I’d feel like it would be time to leave the party… I wonder if that’s what Sam’s working towards given the change of undertone in RP in the last few episodes.
Interesting how you all 5 stages of grief shown in this episode Denial: Vex since she believes that the can still bring him back (they do but it’s still denial of death Anger: obviously Grog when he yelled “FIX HIM” Bargaining: Vax since he tries you bargain with the raven queen for scanlan’s life Depression: Keyleth with her sobbing Acceptance: Percy since even though he’s sad he’s accepted the death and isn’t letting it stop him from doing what’s important (you can also argue the guest represents this as well since he has the speech to keyleth about accepting loss).
that feeblemind moment was so poetic! i cant help but wonder tho if tactically it increased ppls’ chances of dying- casting a spell usually only deals one singular source of damage, forcing targets 2 fail a single death saving throw. but with raishan limited 2 melee attacks, she instantly burned thru multiple death saving throws on both scanlan and percy. its hard 2 rly say but its arguable that if she hadnt bn feeblemined, given the limits of action economy, raishan wouldnt have bn able 2 kill those 2 so quickly (or at all). either way it was extremely satisfying narratively and scanlan dying set up the next part of his arc perfectly. great stuff

Hey, since I’m early, I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your articles. I genuinely enjoy how you bring attention to lesser-known aspects of World War II, which I might not have discovered otherwise. It’s really fascinating, and I hope you’ll continue making more of these informative articles. Keep up the excellent work!
I’m in Canada, the similarities to our euthanasia laws are pretty frightening. From the three doctors that are supposed to evaluate the situation (there was a report a few months ago where it was reported that often the dr. signed after the fact), to the whole angle of “mercy killing”. Now, I used to be ok with the original stated goal of the program, people who are in a terminal state and suffer needlessly… but this is being expanded to those with mental illnesses in the vein of depression, and even worse to minors (no need for parental consent!). All in the name of, well I’m not so sure.
My dad was a surgeon in an American Army evacuation hospital in the war. They moved into a Dutch hospital in 1944. At that location there was a building about six stories high with windows overlooking the main square. When the Americans arrived there were two or three microcephalics in each window, each one smiling and waving. “They probably had no idea there was a war on,” said my dad. He thought the Germans had brought them all there to do some sort of study on them.
12 minutes 5 seconds onwards. I was literally just thinking the NHS does that with Modazilam to old people. The NHS reduces the food and water intake of old people, then tell the family that the old person has stopped eating, then to stop the old person complaining to family at visit times, they’re dosed up with Morphine “for the pain”, then they’re killed off at the end with Modazilam. The NHS is a killing machine. Before that bit of the article, TK said poor families had to give up their kids to the state or loose their benefits. That’s happening right here in Britain right now. Councils and social workers and the DWP collude against vulnerable families, then put the kids into “homes” where they’re pimped out every weekend. Threatening families with losing benefits is one of the ways Councils, Police and Social Workers shut families complaining and making a fuss when their kids are being raped by Islamic gangs. The state is the state, times may change but fekin bureaucrats don’t
You’ve made it difficult to watch other history articles, as almost no-one else clearly cites sources as you do. Thanks for that. On a serious note, don’t ever stop bringing greater clarity and conversation to history. Society as a whole (or perhaps our governments which desire docile, malleable populations) seems to give little value to the importance of history, which pains me greatly.
Great article Lewis. The legal implications here were stark. For one the Hippocratic oath (First, do no harm) was circumvented, much like it was for abortion. Also the doctor’s duties and obligations were no longer to the patient. The doctor’s obligation was now to the State. This was a huge legal change with enormous implications. At this point the genius was out of the bottle.
Thank you TIK for your articles. Long ago I found TV documentaries to be… sterile, using the Madman-Hitler-get-out-of-jail-free-card over again. Your work challenge the narative and trully inform not only about one of the most savage periods of human history, but also about the road that lead there. And I§m not talking about your economics, philosophy and theology articles, which are of superb quality as well. The best thing is that you have your facts straight, source materials and do not hesitate to acknowledge a mistake or an overlook. Keep up the good work and please: Don’t stick to tanks! 🙂
Hey tik, first time commenter. I just wanted to say that I appreciate the work that you do. If it ever feels like you’re screaming into a hurricane, and that the world is against you. I want you to remember that you have reached and changed so many minds, including mine. Keep up the good fight, what you have to say really matters.
This is much needed TIK, thank you for covering this dark chapter as it has never been more important to teach than now. I knew the broad stroke of this but once again you have gone into much needed details of this dark past. The actions of these so called doctors has shown me some things never change. Once again you have shed light on a part of history than needs it shone on. I believe I would have been condemned to death for my own disability, which is something similar to Cerebal Palsey. For a long time I hated that I had it through my childhood, and tried to overcome it with intelligence. If it were up to doctors like these and regimes like this, i’d never have a chance to thrive. I’m an atheist, but gotta praise the Catholic Bishop on this one, and the catholics, thanks guys for being consistent on right to life. Also I hope the NHS does not go further down the dark path, what I saw three years ago was bad enough.
During the war my father was interned as a prisoner of war in the Castle of Colditz in Germany. Before the war this castle used to be a ‘lunatic asylum’, but in 1941 all the former inhabitants were ‘euthanized’ by the Nazis and there was then room for those prisoners of war (Belgians, Dutch, French, British and Poles) who had tried to escape a number of times. I myself visited Colditz castle in 1990 after the Iron Curtain had fallen and the place had again become an asylum for mentally disabled after the war.
I’m proud that my Catholic Church put up such a fight against the Nazis. People try and slander us and say we were complicit or were helping the Nazis. Categorically false. Several saints and blessed were massacred by Nazis. We are at opposition to all immoral socialism, especially Nazism gnostic origins which we have fought for thousands of years. God bless the Catholic Church.
Great article……kinda reminds me of what’s going on in Canada with the MAID program… some people who’ve had broken arms or just been a bit down have been sent for “assisted suicide” even when they didn’t want it. Now how many have actually been killed by this I don’t know and luckily I think it’s low….. ……..for now but there are some parallels here but mot complete parallels.
Good thing we have the Nuremburg Code now, which stops brutal, unethical, authoritarian governments and medical establishments from forcing medical treatments on the world’s populace without their consent. “The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion, and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.” So as long as we follow that to a T, tyrannical governments won’t be able to use the medical establishment as an excuse to violate our rights or bring in some sort of near martial law for years on end.
Outstanding work TIK in pulling this one together. People really have little idea of the true scope and horror of the Third Reich, and how much of it spread into other nations. To name just one appalling example, in 2004 the CBC conducted a plebicite in which Tommy Douglas was proclaimed the greatest Canadian who ever lived. This was because he invented the system of social medicine in Canada. What was deliberately overlooked is that Douglas was a firm believer in eugenics.
Just yesterday I was thinking out loud: I could go for another Tik article, and now here we are! Awesome! Also, yes, I’m very sensitive. That’s why I listened to the Jonestown tapes. There’s a HEAP of lessons to be learned from that right there. Worse than the crying children is when the crying stopped.
Great article, now that we understand National Socialist ideas of disability. As a Neurodivirgent person, I am genuinely terrified this kind of eugenics was used against us and then got applied to everyone whom the National Socialists had a disliking for their differences (and obviously, I hope along with millions of other people this doesn’t happen again. Sadly, some nations haven’t learned from the atrocities the National Socialists did. Looking at you China and Myanmar.)
First, another excellent explanation from TIK! Second, this is a tough subject, but includes a piece of the puzzle when trying to make sense of the Holocaust. What are my takeaways? Well, ‘popular science’ is just that; ‘popular’. It reflects the mindset of people at a particular point in time, and nothing else. It isn’t enlightenment, or greater truth; just beliefs, and willfully so. Another thought. Modern culture is not exempt from the same ‘popular science’, whether its abortion, climate change, COVID vaccines, or whatever’s next.
Great article on a very important topic. It’s a topic that for me carries a lot of weight because I was born with disabilities and developed more throughout my childhood. Despite this I’ve worked through them and I now earn more than the average person. With money being the measure of value it means that I actually add a lot of value to my area. The people who perpetrated the T4 program wouldn’t have believed this is possible. I also often think about the movie Verkannte Menschen or Misjudged People which was a movie created by deaf people (I’m deaf). They created this movie to show that despite their troubles in communication they could still be productive members of society. The movie was banned within 2 years.
After some lite reading on the wikipedia page for Aktion T4, i damn near shit a brick when i saw the name Hans Asperger who coined Aspergers syndrome. When I was diagnosed with it, one of my school teachers said it was named after a psychologist who was heavily bullied in school. Well clearly not enough cause asperger was a nazi party member and went along with this
As if medics would have acted differenly in other contexts. All Eastern Europe had its own practices to sterilize the undesirables well into the 1990s. And in the last few years medics were happy to embrace any decisions favoring an increase of personal power — like sepparating young children from family for health reasons, no relation with unaccountability.
I can remember this killing being shown in scenes in a movie about the Holocaust during the late 1970’s/early 1980’s that was on TV. It was very controversial at the time because they depicted the killings in the sealed vehicles and at the camps. Winds of War maybe? I remember reading that book many years ago. Note: The actual Commandment is Though shalt not murder. Killing in self defense or in war is different and is also acknowledge in the Bible. The translation to Though shalt not kill. was done for political reasons at the time it was done.
As a person with a Neurodevelopmental disorder, thanks for talking about this topic. Few people talk about this vile crime that the nazis did. Wich this was the only time stuff like this happend. Unfortunately even to this day many people think that people like me should just be killed off or just be driven to suicide. I have heard talk like that to my face, even from “tolerant” people.
Aktion t4 could help solve present groups disabled. The politically left in The Netherlands working within health care specialized with disables voted years ago in favor of a ban for disabled to have children. Because there are too many of them putting to much pressure on health care workers. And other people suffering from disabilities are asked if they consider their lives finished. This upload is gold
