    I don’t accept any of it but there is also nothing I can do without being arrested or shot and that really is the reality of it. If our military turned on our government and a coup happened, that would stop a lot of shit. That’s about the only way I can see all the bullshit stopping. I understand the slow transfer of power that happened and I understand how the Nazis came to be but at the same time, there’s more opposition this day in age and because world war 2 happened it’s incredibly difficult to be able to pull that bullshit again.

    I’m not for trump, i’m waiting for the next one and i’m hoping it’s a young person between the cognitive ages of 38-58 and i’m hoping they’ll represent the current generations at play and i’m hoping the next one isn’t a republican nazi.

    i voted for the cackling one and i was originally going to vote for cornel west but decided that it would have a larger impact to vote for kamala.

      Oh, I’m sure it won’t look the same as it did back then, but honestly, did any Americans expect there to be an SA-equivalent in the US that would gun down people in broad daylight and get away with it? How about sending people to torture camps in El Salvador with no recourse? If you think something won’t ever happen, you’ll miss the warning signs too.

      Besides, I think humanity learned not nearly enough of our collectively history of wars. We’re still killing each other for no fucking reason.

        Personally, no, i din’t think this country would ever have this happen. However, since the Bush Administration in the 2000’s got their hands on GITMO I am not surprised at overseas detention centers being used to enact Torture aka enhanced interrogation which is really what it’s called can’t make it up. https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/library/enhanced-interrogation-explained

        GITMO was a terrible idea. anything they wanted to get away with that they couldn’t get away with over here was done over there.

        I’m not trying to downplay it, dismiss it, make it seem like it’s nothing any of that I want to point out something interesting

        That every single generation has seen: War and Disease and they usually correspond to each other.

        There’s always been a perceived reason on their end but we deal with the fallout. modern day reasons are such odd reasons but are like sort of understandable but there shouldn’t be a loss of life over. like oil and rare earths i get why people fight over that, those make the world run. it still doesn’t make it right or okay.

        BUT !!! you know what still bothers me, is how putin pre-emptively tried to use denazification as the main underscoring reason for wanting to colonize ukraine, thinking that everyone would be on board tried to say unfair trade. fuck outta here.

        you know what every single war has also shown, we all want the water. most wars are near the coastal zones, inland wars are proxy wars.
