Has A New "Long, Twilight Struggle" Begun? The End of World War II History



This is a very depressing thing to watch, but it is honest. The only thing that resembles hope, it is that when we realize what is dead, that perhaps we can nurture what life is to come.

On each other. It is already underway, the first victims are already dead. This is not going to end any other way beyond a complete tear down and rebuild of the nation - IF we manage to wrest control of the nuclear arsenal away from the fascists first. Otherwise, BILLIONS will die and they do NOT care about that eventuality... in fact, they are depending on it.

It is already happening. ICE is nothing more than slave hunters in new clothes and with more weapons.
White people watching and just accepting the existence of these fascist tools and domestic terrorists are just as guilty as the ones writing checks and giving orders are and they will eventually be the targets as well.

Today its Asian-looking and Hispanic-sounding people.
Soon it will be those not wearing Party Pins or having their papers in order or participating the daily 2 minutes of hate with the proper level of vigor.
Eventually, it will be anyone any time for any reason - and that interval of time from today to that eventuality is shockingly short.
