starting the year with one of my fav lines from Chandrashekhar Azad "what we are to face has been faced a thousand times and it has been defeated a thousand times before, we are merely those called to now carry on a tradition."

I'm trying to see the optimism in that quote. But it feels like our species is stuck on a social progress treadmill, and we'll never make any meaningful gains. 😔
I am Tamer and this is my family, fatherless, we lost our father in this cursed war, we were displaced several times, our house was destroyed, I created this campaign to spend on my orphaned sisters and my mother, and to bring them their needs💔🙏🏾😭 https://gofund.me/48e464c0
The fight never ends. Everything good and decent in this world must be continuously renewed and upheld. There is no end goal where everything will be perfect forever. Complacency is a death sentence. Fight hard; those aligned agaist us definitely are.
This glorifies the fight instead of actually trying to truly defeat what we face. If those that came before us would have done what it takes, we wouldn't be facing this again.
Destruction implies permanence. Either fascism exists permanently, or it's destroyed. By definition you can't have both. And we've never destroyed fascism.
Leopards break into the temple and drink to the dregs what is in the sacrificial pitchers; this is repeated over and over again; finally it can be calculated in advance, and it becomes a part of the ceremony.
Majed and Aisha had beautiful times, spending them in peace and safety.

Taking heart in this, but at the same time one would hope we could eventually actually defeat this hateful thing, if only to put it to rest for a while.
I think we've seen that it only sticks as long as there are living memories of the events OR a strong commitment to education, otherwise, our short-memoried species has to relearn it again.
