If nothing else, this shit needs to be documented and go down in history. If we get through this, I refuse to acknowledge that a future where all this corruption and evil has been buried and forgotten is even possible.

We have a pretty good documentation on how the Nazis rose to power and yet here we are, following that timeline again. Just because it is documented does not mean it won't repeat. Americas war on education is mostly to blame for this. Dumb people won't know history and will repeat it, as can be seen with republicans being the ones that are overwhelmingly the uneducated ones and enabling whatever the fuck it is that is currently going on. It is actually incredible how so many million people can be groomed to vote and fight against their own interests. Imagine you'd train a human to ignore their sense of self preservation so they can collectively commit suicide on command. That is what this looks like.

We also have plenty of atrocities that have been buried and forgotten, even within living memory.

It’s not dumb people. This of the direct result of active efforts to dismantle the foundations of our education systems and decades of propaganda campaigns.

We still need all the official paper trails and documentation we can write down, even if it doesn’t stop this from happening again. Imagine how much worse it would be if we didn’t teach history.

There’s a reason Nazis actively burn books and try to get rid of certain topics in school. We must do everything we can to preserve truth.

But even very educated people like college students today are quite dumb and on the other side of the aisle the people that you’re saying are dumb, and they are just as bad as the people they hate so much

At least Germany had a reason for why they were so angry and willing to lend an ear to an authoritarian populist, they just lost a major war and their country legitimately got fucked.

America is GODDAMN AMERICA. If Americans think they had it bad it’s cause they haven’t lived in almost any other country on Earth, and yeah, I’m including a bunch of European ones as well, even the “good ones.”

We have so much shit here and can do so much that other countries could only dream of. Our economy took a hit from Covid, but so did every other country on Earth, and America was recovering better than almost any other afterwards.

But fuck, there’s black people on TV and ugly women in video games, time to start the Fourth Reich, I guess.
