And you will have to tell your kids and grandkids, “well, we didn’t know we hated people who weren’t white or straight, and we didn’t trust women in authority…well some, but not TOO much authority, so we said one thing, but in the ballot box, did another…no one knows but you.”
We can rule out any assumption that a unique flaw in the German psyche led to the rise of Nazism.
It would be naïve to suppose that the US couldn't descend to a 'Final Solution'. Hatred of immigrants is now at fever pitch. Goebbels would have been proud of "they're eating our cats and dogs".
I think it comes to dumb people. They like seeing 'other' people hurt they don't like. And all the while giving up their own rights without a thought about it.
Yes!
King Trump! Climate Change! Plastics in the ocean! Over fishing! Over cutting trees! Pollution from mining into watersheds, automobile suburbs, lack of trains for commuting, lack of infrastructure for workable renewables. Lack of nuclear energy, lack of opportunities and salary growth 90th.
Are the posted stats supposed to add up to 3.65 mil? Pls post authoritative articles for the total number, if possible. I don’t use YouTube for valid data.
Mark Thompson outlines Nathan Taylor's bona fides at the beginning of this show. The experts are turning their articles/books into interviews & documentaries to reach wider audiences.
The journalist who made the documentary is an expert in his field. Before critising sources perhaps check the source of the documentary, make sure that aren't known as an expert in their particular field.
People need a plan to attack. Plans require coordination which requires leaders. But I believe the people will act given a plan. Not everyone, of course. But we can build a coalition.
It’s going to take a general strike, people walking out on jobs, not going to work, not buying anything for a prolonged period of time and making the country STOP!
That’s the only thing that is going to work, in my opinion.
I’m ready to do it, I don’t understand why we’re NOT ALREADY doing it.
We are not unified, democrate politicians are voting with maga. Former politicians are not speaking out, and Democrats are in groups, the upper, the lower. They don't want to mix.
I think the only thing is-these protests are rarely getting covered like they should be, and although they’re good outlet for how to gauge public sentiment-and for our anger, I think it’s going to take something that directly affects THEM, their money, their corps, their lives
I know, I would be too, but what is the alternative?!
It’s gotten to the point where nothing but this matters.
We’re not being asked to give our lives like past generations, just to stop the country-until they can be stopped.
I take solace in the knowledge that we are the MAJORITY!!
Most people are paycheck to paycheck and don’t want to lose the roof over their head. We have to think of ways ppl can help w/out destroying their lives and losing everything.
That has never worked. PPl who do lose everything and are willing to lose everything is how this works. Sorry it is hard, but it is. Ask African Americans.
Activists didn’t actively make their own lives worse unless they absolutely had to. Taking care of themselves and their loved ones took a high priority, oxygen masks and all of that. Being homeless sorta makes activism and survival in general a lot harder.
I do understand that, I do, but we’ve been at a point where anyone’s loved ones can be disappeared off the street, their livelihood stripped in an instant, their free speech gone, they’re threatening to send people who vandalize a Tesla to El Salvador. It’s been past time to do something big.
But we can do big things that don’t leave our most dedicated people homeless and on the streets. Get enough people involved and we can create permanent protests like they did in Ukraine, just have people work in shifts around their normal schedule.
Working folks need to claim EXEMPT on their tax forms. Stop paying taxes. Hit them where it really hurts since they care so much about money and not people. Keep your hard earned money.
Someone posted a video of immigrants being sent back to El Salvador with no court date and it reminded me of the holocaust. Here is the pic of the jails they are sent to and the holocaust to compare!
I was at Auschwitz before the pandemic. Eerily similar. There are many things that are eerily similar. Remember, the CIA doesn’t believe in coincidence. All things happen for a reason.
I just can’t get that video out of my head. I’ve grown up reading about the holocaust and went to the holocaust museum with my daughter and I just can’t believe how ok people are with it! It is so disturbing!
I don’t know if you saw it but it was awful. She was giving a warning to anyone who wants to come to not come and you could hear a pin drop. Awful! She said this is where you will end up
I’m starting to get thoroughly pissed that democrats, in office, are not fighting back in a strong enough manner. We don’t need them to post about it! We need fucking action!!! We need it right fucking now!!!!!
Psychology books will be dedicated to the abusive behaviors of those confused and the drugs they were given. Imagine your grandma explaining why she was against Lincoln or something like that.
I suggest that you keep in mind that the US represents 4.20% of the world's population .... might want to learn about the developing Chinese lifestyle.
Don't lose faith brother. These eras are always scary and transformational and not always in smooth ways. Think of this as our 1937, or 1857. Both almost hopeless eras of sectionalism and the govt not able to solve the main problems in society. U.E was 15 percent even up into 1939 for example.
It doesn't necessarily work that way. It is mostly impacted by the stages of life that different generations are in. The problem recently brought up is that since we are living longer these phases are bound to actually last longer. At this pt we are in the 18th year of the crisis era.
It is just the crisis era playing out. These always occur within the span of a human lifetime. This is why 80 years ago was ww2, and 80 before that the civil war, and about 80 before that our revolution, and about 80 before that the Glorious revolution of 1688. All crisis eras. These eras then lead
into eras of reform and economic stability. Each era lasts about a gen. or so. Right now we are in the crisis era heading into the "high" as historians who study these call these eras.
I'm doing everything I can. Protests, writing to Congress, donating to orgs like ACLU, and raising awareness wherever possible. There is a growing resistance movement, it's just that corporate media isn't covering it. Hence https://wearetheflood.net
It was propaganda from the start, but unfortunately, Democratic leadership chose to ignore it. The only way to fight propaganda is with counter- propaganda, and the Democratic leadership couldn't be bothered to take the first step. So here we are.
Someone very smart once said “teach your kids to teach their kids”. Start planting the seeds now. An entirely new human study will come from this. Be sure that our truths are recorded with reliable sources.
Exactly! Get out and protest. It has never been easier to find a protest nearby. If you can't protest, help someone who is. For example, offer to feed their pet or anything else that helps! There is no time to waste! We the people Can Do This!
With all the assholes in all the right places. On top of that, a Congress letting all this injustice happen. That's exactly why no one did anything to stop it. It takes monsters to do what ICE is doing, and the Gestapo was the same way.
It’s looks like history is repeating in America 2025 from Germany 1940’s. This is happening all over the world. Are these new dictators thinking about a new world order?
We have no opposition party leadership. So for sure the Dem Party won't be stopping it. Unfortunately that leaves individual citizens who are powerless. I could go stand on a street corner & scream but it would do nothing. I'd like to get the ppl out of the ES gulag but have no idea how.
Under our constitution, the minority party has no ability to do anything without convincing enough Republicans to vote with them to give them a majority.
This is one of the things I'd love to have more of. What were "normal" people thinking and doing while Mussolini and his Black Shirts were marching in the streets? What did Spaniards do when Franco and his army started shooting? We see movies of gatherings and propaganda, but not much else.
TRUMP WILL START NUCLEAR WAR AFTER HE LOOTS THE TREASURY WITH MUSK!!! TRUMP & MUSK WILL DESTROY OUR EDUCATION OUR ECONOMY OUR DEMOCRACY & THEN START NUCLEAR WAR!!!! PARASITIC OLIGARCHS, CHRISTIAN NOTZIS & MAGATS ARE EXTREMELY EVIL VILE DISGUSTING RACIST & DANGEROUS!!! DENY DEFEND DEPOSE & RESIST!!!
The only sense I can make of it. Is the death throes of an ideology and power structure.The mediocre whites that have benefited from the systems know their days are numbered and they’re desperately trying rig it in a way they can hold on to privilege at any cost.They’d rather lose freedom than power
It’s a nightmare! I don’t understand why people voted a criminal back in the WH. He promised everything but has done nothing for lowering prices. He said “he doesn’t want to hear people complaining about the high price of eggs. People who voted for him were conned once again! 🤬😡🥵🤬
This is truer than most will ever know. I teach History/Social Studies, and this is the most asked question today. They understand more than the adults.
Children aren’t the distracted morons people think that they are. These kids understand more than we do. They make Historical connections because they have to while gaining a better knowledge of the past. Every point I make about History, they compare to today.
If children survive this, down the track my guess is they’ll look at their parents in horror and ask
” why didn’t you stop this when you had a chance?”
“You failed the country, you failed us, was democracy not worth saving?”
You have to assume there will be an end to this at some point. Right now that doesn’t appear that be the case. In fact what series of events could end it?
"When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."
Psychology has been explaining the build up to this since the day Obama was elected but there is no way to break through the algorithmic and propaganda media to stop it. It's become an addiction and it's too profitable for too many. Follow the money and power to influence.
2 reasons:
1) disorganized
2) not interested in politics
Those who value freedom need to start getting interested and getting organized. A major mistake made last election--Dem influencers on social media didn't promote Dem candidates--instead they promoted opponents by mockery. It backfired.
Here's one reason: Maybe all the young people whose futures are being destroyed couldn't be bothered to stop playing Call of Duty or creating Tic Toc fashion posts long enough to care or protest.
Jesus Christ! Talk to some Black people! They can tell you about erasing history..... Nobody taught this white child anything about the way they treated the Native Americans and kept the blacks from succeeding after slavery when I was in school. I am 69 and just learning it now!
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
Hopefully, school kids of the future will say ”Thank goodness the people FINALLY began to employ the second amendment as it was intended to be used: to form a well regulated militia to protect them from their tyrannical government.”
OMG I hope so. This is a nightmare. I ended up in my Dr’s office with high BP which I never had before! I’m 75 & worry everyday instead of enjoying life in my retirement! 🥵😢
Sorry. I started early. After the 2016 Inauguration was followed by trips to the emergency room, twice. Did not think I would live through a second one.
Over the years, yes. This was building for more than a decade. No one did anything to stop it. I suspect they knew election tampering had been going on years prior. It was like taking candy from a baby
Trump is calling ppl who protest Tesla "domestic terrorists" and talking about sending them to the places the immigrants have been sent. This. Is. Nazi. Germany. Again.
This is a tad defeatist. There are still lots of people doing things, especially at the state level. We’ve got special elections coming. Governor elections coming. Keep up the effort.
Black women have been sounding the alarm for decades, and nobody is listening. It's up to the silent majority of the rest of the country to step up and do something.
Outside the country we'll be cheering on those who do step up (and taking every opportunity to try and prevent the Trump-likes from getting power elsewhere)
Already around in some forms e.g. Hungary, Turkey, India (though the latter is being way more pragmatic economically), and we had in the UK via Brexit; which had some of the same backers e.g. Bannon
I am asking myself this every day as I try to talk to people who are either disinterested, care only enough to notice but not do anything, or are “too busy” to take the time. It is beyond frustrating.
Because you're all far too busy making excuses, oh you'll go to nice safe cosy rallys with Bernie & AOC, but, ask you down tools and get out a protest long and loud, oh dear no sorry can't do that the boss won't like it. Well you've got the 50501 thing next week let's see how many of you take action

i fucking voted; i voted for the side of history that I wouldn't have had to make excuses for. I voted for someone that would NEVER do things as stupid as the current administration is doing.
I've come to appreciate that these people are always there, evidently for every society. They're just usually apathetic.
It's just a matter of what motivates them to actually trigger the insanity. Even then, I am almost sure a high % of magats don't even watch the news & aren't following this.
The actions are for sure. But this is really more of how they talk about it as accomplishments. Think of this being the public facing opinion, or official stance of the gov
What they say in private is not policy. It’s public statements that were really tracking here
Bill Barr!!!! How the fawk did he just merrily walk away from everything?? No heat. No pressure. He played a Huge role in helping the 🍊🤡 and himself!!!
If they didn’t dismantle white supremacy/the patriarchy/capitalism, it’s clear to me by now that they want to play this “game” (for it is a game to them) on a higher difficulty with a single save, and everyone else (who voted for democracy) are just NPCs that’ll die without a thought along the way.
Based on my experience asking adults about WWII for school reports in the 90s - ‘oh why of course not, no one knew anything about the bad stuff happening. And also we never had anything against black people.’
Mental health experts have literally been SCREAMING about this for damn near a decade now. Since he campaigned in 2015. There have been thousands of papers and literal books written on this very subject for DECADES!
But nobody, and I mean NOBODY with any influence has listened.
I used to say that ALL THE TIME from grade 2 through college.
I have learned the past 10 years that there are family & friends I’d never trust if the shit hit the fan. I could have lived the rest of my life not knowing that visceral hatred existed.
It’s traumatic what this political landscape has done to us all, socially and mentally. I’m sorry for your loss. It’s exhausting and heartbreaking when so many of our friends and family have been brainwashed by this hateful propaganda.
Americans are being primed for inhumanity and atrocity.
”... horrific TV commercials displaying the so-called “Venezuelan gang members” paraded in front of us on TV daily — this is the lions vs. the Christians slaughter in the public colosseum of the Roman Empire for exactly the same reason.”
The only thing I know of is mass protests and general strikes. But the masses must get motivated, and so far, there seems to be little motivation. History shows that the longer fascism is tolerated, the less power the masses have when they do rise up.
IL DUCE TRUMP is today's Andrew Jackson.
Where Jackson pursued the political strategy of "Western Expansion" to build America, IL DUCE TRUMP is pursuing the political strategy of "New World Expansion" to build his cruel, racist empire.
...
2) As Jackson did with his TRAIL OF TEARS destroying the lives of 100,000 Native Americans, so too is Trump going to destroy the lives of those who are not MAGA, wealthy, Protestant, and white as he expands his empire.
Ahhhhhhhh ... I hope to be wrong ... he will destroy most of those below a certain income bracket; except really poor people will, ironically, be comparatively better off do to all their practice being poor.
Could someone please repost this to every Dem and GOP congress persons. What the hell are these guys and gals doing and are they really willing to let their country and what they stand for go to hell because of Krasnov and Elmo. Do not bother with MTG or Boebert, they will not understand.
Australian newscaster this month: "We have an American dictator who's lost his marbles. And he's not going to push us around. I'm not sure if Americans need to apologize to us or we should feel sorry for them. I think the only person equipped to handle this is a psychiatrist."

Or…karma will prevail.
And eggs.
What do individuals do? We're way past voting as a solution. Now it's literally disregarding authority, and how do you do that?
Do we all just carry a gun and when the goons show up, start shooting?
It all feels so hopeless.
It would be naïve to suppose that the US couldn't descend to a 'Final Solution'. Hatred of immigrants is now at fever pitch. Goebbels would have been proud of "they're eating our cats and dogs".

America has poor or expensive education — depends what you can afford.

That there actually is no one in charge.

The time to stop this was when Garland could’ve investigated Jan 6th to arrest & convict Trump for insurrection
I love Biden, but even he could’ve done more to stop this rather than being too centrist
Our officials failed us
Social psychology class is where I learned the details about the Milgram experiment.
But nobody, and I mean NOBODY with any influence has listened.

China is NOT an aggressive country. It is, however, very protectionist about its autonomy - with a strong NIMBY thing.
What will make all this much more painful is if Trump takes extreme measures to maintain the dollar's primacy.
I'm really really hoping he chooses not to fuck with China!!
