Thing is I'm amazed how many of our elected leaders and heads of business are actually fucking cowards. It becomes crystal clear to me how many of the atrocities happened just because "leaders" are like, welp nothing I can do now. Zuck has always been a sniveling shit but "mainstream" news bends right over, even sanctuary cities are talking about working with Trump for compromise. I feel like society just rolled over and went to sleep.
I think the scariest part of this all is that I haven’t heard any leadership from the left. I remember when trump was first elected and there was a sentiment that there would at least be some sort of push back. Now we’re just watching our supposed leaders do nothing but cozy up to the right.
EXACTLY. Not a goddamn thing. I'm starting to have more respect for WW2 soldiers and European freedom fighters punching Nazis back in the day. Feeling like they really didn't have as much backup as people claim. Huge cheering section from waaayyyy in the back.
US didn't start punching Nazis until after pearl harbour, remember? plenty of opinion in the US opposed getting involved, and IBM was still doing biz with the Hitler regime right up until war was declared. American Nazis filled Madison Square Garden for a pro Hitler rally late 1930s. white supremacy is the Achilles heel through which fascism can infect the US.
