the inverse truth of this is "until every living thing on the planet is dead, things can always get worse"

A key theme in history is “lots of unexpected things happen”

It occurs to me that to most of us, the past is as unknown as the future.

Not surprising, I guess, given how little we know even about the present.

if you need a road map & are unread of history may I suggest "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by Shirer?
at your fav pirate libraries.

This is also a good pilot's attitude. Keep flying that aircraft all the way to the ground.

We can’t just live with fascism. It has to be stopped and every day we let it go it will get more entrenched.

what has me worried is the sheetos first term was marked by having his gestapos engage in violent civic suppression, just waiting for that to start now when someone starts objecting to ICE detaining US citizens(hey ICE! lots of citizens now armed in the 100mile zone so tread very fucking carefully)
