    A Red Scare is a form of moral panic provoked by fear of the rise of left-wing ideologies in a society, especially communism and socialism. Historically, red scares have led to mass political persecution, scapegoating, and the ousting of those in government positions who have had connections with left-wing movements.

    It’s just a boogeyman word to make them sound scary. Laura Loomer literally does not know what marxist means beyond “communism”. In fact, she doesn’t even know what communism is, she has just been told it’s bad.

    Indeed. People don’t just go limp, there is enough time to slip away. And you wake up pretty quick if you don’t keep breathing it in.

    Back when they actually used ether and chloroform as anesthesia, they had this little metal cage they’d put over the patient mouth to extend it away from the mouth, which would be wrapped in gauze and then have ether or chloroform dripping down to keep it going.

    And if you try to speed it up by using more, you’re likely to kill the patient since it depresses the central nervous system.

    I knew they were British, so I always assumed it had something to do with the whole Virgin Queen thing(it was and is a nickname for Elizabeth the first) or something like that, but it was apparently because they considered themselves virgins in business when they started their first record store.
