I just find it shocking how quickly normies forget bad things, bad times, and bad people, how easily they rewrite the narrative of history, even very recent history, and of their own individual and collective experiences to better match some contrived idealized liberal dogma that never existed and will never exist and that only serves to protect and enshrine the violent artificial supremacy and machinations of the oligarchy.
I don’t expect anything different, of course. Human psychology is built to paint over horrific stuff in our lives, so that we don’t go insane, and the political and state machines are built around class solidarity among rulers and higher functionaries. But watching it play out in real time is always jarring. America isn’t different. It isn’t special. Whatever you’d say about history, or about other places, or the people found there, you should say it about this one too.
It is good for everyone when bad things happen to fascists. It is bad for everyone when power works overtime to defend awful people, especially fascists, because their awful ideas have life and death consequences for those the beautiful people never cared about. Why is it that peace and the law are only really practically sacred when their absence becomes a problem for the popular or the powerful?
As I’ve said so many times before, most of you out there are disgusting and fake and you don’t know your asses from a hole in the ground and any ‘democracy’ where you even get to pick the restaurant, let alone the people who are granted almost absolute authority over others, is doomed to failure and ruin. You have the memory of goldfish and the moral reasoning of toddlers.
You all are playing with fire, here (yes, as in Reichstag fire…). You forget too easy, and you listen to, and empathize with, the wrong people and ideas.
