I have family in the UK who support Trump and thought Jan 6th was staged by antifa. There is little that can make them conflict their brainwashing, they just keep pushing that line further and further which inevitably leads to justifying atrocities as they do it.
If Obama had done the same thing, Jan 6th would have happened much earlier.
Wdym?
Yeah he should've put himself in there too while he was at it. America didn't put any fascists in gulags though, they hired them to help fascists continue the fight and they've been winning ever since.
It's reeeeaaaaally wordy, I recommend audiobook or read along with audiobook. It's not complicated language or anything it's just reeeeaaaally dense, i'd take breaks between pages to digest what I've read.
I recently read the book 'Dawn of Everything' which is a somewhat expose on some of the data about humans, human nature, and inequality discovered by anthropologists and archaeologists in the last 20 or so years thanks to modern technology, and while I'm weary of any "grand narratives" on human evolution like say 'Guns, Germs, and Steel', 'Sapiens', 'The Next/Last 100 Years' I find that the actual scientific evidence paints a much more optimistic view of humans and our politics without being shy about our wickedness. In short our so-called "development" isn't linear at all, and the limits to our societies is simply our imaginations. Human beings are destined for freedom and communion, the more our technology breaks social barriers the closer we move towards a global village. The difference is I don't think we've ever been closer to that, and that excites me. Consider this my thanks :)
Can't change the past, but we can make the future together comrade. Because doing nothing is doing something. Sorry you're having a hard time, I am too, recent Graves disease diagnoses basically has me out of work and stuck inside for the next year less I have a heart attack. Seeing that Nazi salute and everyone downplaying that has fueled a fire in me, which doesn't help my heart. I refuse to back down though and be complacent, especially if it means dying. Feels good to believe in something you're willing to die for though, beats being lost and used.
EDIT - I want to smile like this guy one day:
Oh I used to, and still do, go to a lot of protests. I make the choice to do so, and continue doing so. I agree they haven't moved the needle one bit, which is why I keep telling everyone at these protests "We should be doing this in gated communities outside the houses of millionaires and billionaires, not outside buildings they never go to block traffic for other workers." Would you go back to protesting if say an Occupy or BLM movement happened in gated communities, outside the homes of the rich?
Wish the UK's right to defend itself wasn't banned in 1997.
I think the fact that they stormed the capitol over false claims of voter fraud, yet we don't do anything when Nazi's come into power, says more about us than them.
Yeah? You and what army? Seriously tho I'm looking to join.
This is why I think Nazi America + Nukes will be much worse than Nazi Germany could ever dream of being. Only time and apathy will tell.
Communication is 100% what the other person hears.
Ah yes, indeed.
