Look at the people around you on your street, in the grocery store, on the plane. If things continue as they are, and I see little reason to expect they wont, you may be in prison someday because of them, or keeping silent in fear of them. Or worse.🧵

The one who doesnt care about spreading an airborne virus to you may be as ignorant of how dangerous it is as the good German who refused to speculate about the smoke and smell of the death camps nearby. The effect is the same as the one who knows but doesnt care. 2/

The one who doesnt care about your disability or your vulnerable loved one may secretly or perhaps just subconsciously think youre an Untermensch, one of the less people. A useless eater. Not really welcome to share a country of dwindling resources. Kind of in the way. 3/

The one who flies the black flag with blue stripes loves his badge and gun, gets off on the feeling of power, the possibility of killing for the State. Or he may just admire those who do and secretly wish he were one of them.
He might get his chance. Enforcers will be needed. 4/

The one who drives that lifted black pickup loves the feeling of being above you, the feeling he could easily drive right over you. It gives him a sense of dominance that the modern economy has taken away. He sits up there with his party flags flying, listening to hate radio. 5/

Then there are the polite enablers. Intellectuals who seek prestige and position at the expense of the vulnerable. I dont even need to mention their names. You know who Im talking about. They dont care about you or your fragile health concerns. They have a ladder to climb. 6/

The polite bigots who borrowed money and bought fine things from Jews in the ghetto. Who had a fine doctor even if the man was a Jew. Who hired a Jewess as housekeeper, and wasnt she a bright young thing.
There will be a racial divide. They will not share their side of it. 7/

The poorly educated that our recent demagogue said he loves, and meant it as much as he can love anyone but himself, because they are useful. Laugh at their clownish ignorance while you can, because your education will not protect you from their votes, then then their hands. 8/

Those who want you to ignore science, to forget history, to look away from tyranny and atrocity will not suddenly awaken and admit to you that you were right and they were wrong. Theyll have no reason to. Its working for them. It will be the Party doctrine. Truth is cheap. 9/

What you see in the people around you now you will see ten times worse during the really hard times to come. Remember where the blue flags flew, who laughed at your Covid fears, who came to work sick and didnt care. There will never be a time when they are better then this. 10/

The ones who will give you comfort and meaning and solidarity are the ones who do so now. The bleeding hearts, the good people, the angry sad despairing ones who point to facts and truth like it should matter. Because it does to you at least. They will help you bear witness. //

This thread is dedicated to my late uncle Kurt Stein, who was shot by firing squad at age 21 for refusing to fight in Hitlers army, and to Professor Timothy Snyder
@TimothyDSnyder
who has been warning us for years now.

(19,204 posts)For the people who alerted on this, and you can bet there were hundreds, it hit too close to home and they don't want everyone to know the truth, what's coming. They want it to be a surprise so no one escapes.

(12,480 posts)Every fucking narcissist,authoritarian and sociopathic dark triad asshole was dead.
Every zero sum fucker. Every dumb ass who denies the truth. Every bully,every fucking profit seeking zero sum liar,...every greedy self important twit dead.
Every unworthy judge appointed by these assholes cast out and made powerless.
My empathy is dead twords these people.
They are dragging us back to hitler than to the dark ages and back to the domination of sociopath kings. Fuck thier fucking social order fantasies.
They are a danger to everything alive,to everyone we hold dear. They seek to destroy our best ideals ,crush our hopes for a better future,kill our dreams for a better life and eliminate justice for all.
They are anti life,anti freedom,anti fairness and hate equality.
I fear our vote might not protect us from the abusive cruel,selfish..yes evil future they want to impose upon everyone in this country.
I hate the rightwing god.
Vote like your life depends on it.

(10,435 posts)I'm so sick of "going high" when they "go low".
Sounds nice, but it doesn't work. I'm sick of the media reaching out to them. I'm sick of accommodating THEIR feelings and what offends them.
I'm already pretty sure our vote won't be enough. Those fuckers have been working for their goals and our side hasn't.

(32,733 posts)every maskless person we see or everyone in a lifted black pickup. Especially when there is so much mixed messaging coming from various authorities. For me, the rant falls kind of flat because it's encouraging us to be preemptively hateful towards "them." I'm sure by tomorrow morning I'll have my pitchfork out again but right now I'm in a more loving mood.
