When I turned 17, I began to read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. For weeks, each day in study hall, I would read about the enemies my grandpa, uncles and dad fought to destroy. The role of Reich women was bizarre, as if they were males in female bodies. By 19 I knew that Viet Nam was a land/resource grab, based upon ethnic and religious prejudice, that killed some of my buddies and ruined the lives of their families. By 21 I resisted that fiasco. I had read Gandhi's Nonviolent Resistance, and followed MLK actions daily. By 73 I was a member of SWP and an independent voter. All this from a farm kid who grew up in Nowheresville.
It may be too late for the 'murkan population. To defeat first Lincoln, and then FDR, took some time, but the degenerate forces of Evil never stop, unless they are squashed like bugs. Many state and federal 'laws' are actually repressive steps to keep citizens from the power they MUST HAVE, if they are to truly be in charge of their own society(ies). And once in power, to the point of ignoring a govt's. own Laws and cutting off the legs of regulators and LE, Who/What will stand in the way of fascistic nihilists???
Where will conscientious citizens get Truthful news? Much of that ability comes from the CFR, the arms and legs of the Constitution, and now it is very apparent that those avenues are silenced, probably for good. The 'press' Fourth Estate is GONE. Legislation is in process to eliminate not-for-profit orgs., by the thousands. Most independent media are in this category. They exist via donations and grants. All grants are gone. If these orgs must pay tax, the citizenry will lose out in several ways. Extra money for this WILL dry up, very soon. When MAGA finally ignores the federal courts, which have ZERO enforcement power (US Marshalls work for the Exec), and only one or two are killed or injured or driven out of town, what actions are left?
We will face our own military, in our towns and cities, with an entity in charge who has written in books that 'lefties' should be exterminated, and has demonstrated that females should be raped and beaten. Someone wrote that we are being taken back to the '50s. It should be noted that the actual regression is to the 1850s, just prior to the war against the Confederacy. Where do we actually think all this Naziism is coming from? It is NOT Vermont, or Illinois, or NM or CA or WA. Grievance is the second line of defence of Fear; the first line of defence is the Lie. The third line is
Paranoid violence, in many forms.
All of this,just in time for the cascade of tipping points in the polycrises of climate catastrophe and the Sixth Extinction. Buckle up, stay frosty, know how to identify your friends from your enemies, and KNOW that from here on out, Nothing will be the same, ever.
