Some sites recall the meaningful memories but then make meager reference to transfer to today's perils that we face. Some make no connection, making memorializing near maudlin indulgence, while Rome is already starting to burn. Looking at youths who are reading the memories of D-Day, they do not relate emotionally as do people who were relatedly there; it is simply a cold fact history lesson, of which they are already familiar. They have seen all the John Wayne movies. Good to see Thom see the real salience, the signicance of what happened then as a quick stepping stone to today's dire threats. The blue's generally have a weakness for emotional recall, the red's have no currency for such indulgence. They are as we speak employing the lying, the disinforming, the pushing of hate buttons that all fascists have used. They revel in their political shape-shifting.
It must be remembered that fascist coups are largely successful. Push Thom, not recall. For those who have not made meaningful history's relatables, their torches will lite no needed bonfires. Be here now.
We are watching "Hitler and the Nazis: Evil on Trial" on Netflix today. It's chilling how the circumstances in Germany after WW I are so similar to what is happening in the US and how similar Trump's personality is to Hitler's. I read the Hartmann report in the morning, then listen to it while walking my dog and get even more out of it the second time. Getting Biden and the Dems elected and reelect isn't going to be enough to correct the ills of society. Hitler wouldn't have been in power if not for inequality and the failed economy. Reflecting Biden and the Dems is only the beginning of what must be done if we are going to get our self rule back from the oligarchs.
Back to telling people how to write? I reread my post sand concluded you know little about poetry/prose.
Also concluded that your need to correct others in writing and offering other unsolicited helpful hints on how to present themselves where you present yourself. I have noticed you telling others how to write. I have also concluded that you have what psychologists state have ripened into severe narcissistic state+-thinking you can crawl into somebody's head and do all their thinking for them. Avcounts
Accounts for your often gruff impatience and complete dismissals of other peoples belief systoms. I do not write in any way except what comes to me. I do not struggle with phrases or diction. I have no thesaurus. I could suggest you skip my posts, but somehow I believe you slaver at the sight of them, exhibiting another manifestation of narcissistic drive--you don't only want to win--you HAVE to win.
I am not telling you how to write, and whether I, in your estimation, know anyhing about poetry or prose is of no consequence. Your writings are too damn florid, and the people you may want to reach, lose their interest because you talk over their heads, and fill your syntax with florid phrases meant to impress.
Dismiss me as narcissistic, that is only your defensive mechanisms at play, a wounded animal fights back with the only tools that he has, tooth and claw.
Dismiss my criticisms, and you will, But you waste your time trying to impress.
I would venture that few get past your second sentence.
And that narcissism of which you depict me is surely a projection.
I have written a number of articles, or rather started them, for wikipedia, and early criticism of me was that I wrote in an archaic style, probably because I have read too much of Shakespeare and Chaucer.
I wan't wounded though. I had to adapt and write for the reading public.
Look, I like you. Your posts, which are full of historical reference, mostly pertinent, sometimes seeming a bit braggadocio, but I am totally tolerant of style. These formats cannot, should not tolerate personal dramas
The times call for serious endeavors and expressions re dire, very real threats. What say you? Willing to stop the personals? Stick to the salient?
Now that is a comment with which I concur, even your assessment of bragadacio. Unavoidable, when making controversial comments, often relying on personal experience, but anticipating challenges.
I never attacked you personally. I agree with the thrust of your comments, I really do. I was, so I thought, just offering some friendly advise as to how to ensure your comments are read by others.
Another poster, actually more thanone, has taken umbrage with me, because I critique their style, which is a strong of consciousness, a long, long paragraph,much in the style of Jack Kerouac'sOn the Road, 320 pages, one paragraph, not evenline breaks, reads like the Torah.
TL:DR
Paragraph's should be short, for eye rest, one, contain one subject,not five,ten or twenty.
I've mentioned Liberty Forum before. There was a woman on it, Askel5, a Catholic, self righteous burdened with guilt because she had an abortion when younger. her postings were homilies, full of adjectives and non sequiturs. The only people who enjoyed them were people like her, who belonged to the same cult
My intentions,Gerald,were honorable, I was just trying to be helpful.
That people don't care, because they don't read your comments
That people don't want to waste their time and get involved in senseless arguments.
To tell the truth, I weighed not saying anything, as I knew your reaction, but it is in me to try to be helpful, even to those that don't appreciate help.
Napoleon said: Don't interfere when your enemy is making a mistake.
I did not perceive you as my enemy Gerald. Perhaps I should change that now.
Been reading all morning about D-Day.

Who are you writing for Gerald, some poetry/prose contest.?Your message is lost with the need to impress.

In a world of critics re my writing, you are in a minority of one.
What does that tell you?
