DOJ Agency Warns Of Police Militarization

27. You are in error about what we can do. A full third of the Americans voters think empire is great.

That was a common theme for generations, and it has not gone away if you check out the right wing websites. Many cities and other things follow the model of the Roman Empire. It's a part of our culture. But the Roman empire fell, and they saw it s the end of the war. It was like every other end or apocalypse, a change and not the end. It is good that they are gone, and we are leaving that model. The entire world is leaving it.

Those who support empire will always see it as a competing system that works and it did and they change the names, but the beliefs and society they want is the same. Fascism is a term that also comes from Italy and is a movement that is from the bottom up. It involves a conservative religion and social structure, including a slave class. We have a number of Americans who do not object to what has amounted to slavery here and abroad even after it was officially ended.

It's the greatest tool of the free market philosophy, but the human cost to those who are seen as nothing but worthless, except for their labor, is high. It is unAmerican, because it is against the Constitution, but only as amended, and was intended to be done away with philosophically.

The more people take the view they can'r change things, refuse to become knowledgeable about how these things work, and what tools are available via the governent of WeThePeople, stay away or expect a miracle or sudden enlightenment that will wash it all away, the more strong this fascism becomes.

Making people depressed makes them apathetic and they don't get involved. That is what they don't want us to do, they don't want us involved in a government that would set controls on them.

If we behave as if it's hopeless, or call the people who vote for the TP or GOP stupid, we get a kick out of it, but they keep moving ahead. They know the powerful of government and intend to use what there is to serve their aims.

They have been, despite the lies, bigotry and all the rest, believers in change to things we do not want. Libertarians want all government regulation gone, but still want their privatization dollars that come from all of us. Because they see themselves as superior and independent. They are just positioning themselves on the food chain. There will always be a food chain.

It is not hopeless, empires have been dismantled by their own people but not by defeatism. That is exactly how they want us to feel, and the comfortable thing for those who say they care about peace and social justice is to stand aside and let it keep going on in despair.

Politics is the competition for scarce resources. There is no way to think that will not be an unpleasant activity. It is hard and dangerous, and one meets many challenges from fellow citizens. Do not get depressed.

If you do, they win. The TP and other regressives are not at all depressed, they are lively and emboldened by our standing aside for them. The only way to do this is the hard way: get into every single election, get out and make connections, make deals if need be, keep going forward until a majority is made that will allow us to work on our best ideals.

Gotta go..
