129. Most of this thread turned into arguing about different flavors of fascism, ignoring CURRENT THREATS
The fascists must LOVE that.

Do the people arguing with you feel better about their own complicity, their own comfy pot of slowly heating water?

"To live in this process is absolutely not to be able to notice it—please try to believe me—unless one has a much greater degree of political awareness, acuity, than most of us had ever had occasion to develop. Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, ‘regretted,’ that, unless one were detached from the whole process from the beginning, unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these ‘little measures’ that no ‘patriotic German’ could resent must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head."


That quote is bullshit that reassures the spoiled and sleepwalking that they have no responsibility and are merely pawns in a game. How lame is that?
