This and war in Ukraine have made me realize how exactly the holocaust happened. When I was little I was always so confused as to how something so horrible could’ve happened, but history is repeating itself and it’s not so surprising anymore.
What I am still shocked about is how so many people, seemingly good people, become blood thirsty so goddamn fast but it does prove how the holocaust came to be, and the fact that nobody can see how it’s happening again is truly astonishing.
Oh, they will, no doubt. But I'm in it for the long haul at this point. No turning back.
Sure. They've got one of the most advanced and powerful military and surveillance states to ever exist. But that does not mean they are invincible. To me it is not a matter of if we can take them down once we have the organization. That seems quite likely. To me the hard part is if we can get that organization in the first place, given our less than empathetic, less than determined, less than intelligent population. Not to dehumanize, just saying, lots of Americans are clearly really dumb.
We're very close to that fascism we speak of being applied broadly to every working class citizen and not just the minorities as it is now. That means it's time to get to work, and to be prepared for a very bumpy, painful, and potentially liberating ride.
I know we can do this.
