I thought I would join a group, fight back, there is no way people would let it happen that easily. But the thing that gets me the most? The complacency, even collaboration, by people who claimed to be the most against it.

It is absolutely shocking how all of the people that claim kids getting shot is the cost of doin business because they need guns to fight tyranny end up being in favor of tyranny.

Tyranny is okay to them, as long as life is worse for immigrants, LGBTQ +, POC, etc., than for themselves

Like those who say by their actions and non-actions:
"I'm gonna empower these people by not voting, I'm gonna let them have their president that appeals directly to the very worst of their instincts and willful, stubborn ignorance. I am a superior, innocent and precious flower!"

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Honestly I kind of get it. Most people are just exhausted trying to get by and don't have the time or energy to do anything even if they wanted to. The you have to organize, plan events, recruit, you basically have to dedicate your life

This right there is one of the most glaring parallels to the 1930s.

Yeah, except Germany at least had the excuse of years of economic turmoil due to having to pay reparations from WWI. Americans are living in the most prosperous country in the world.

Most people thought It Can't Happen Here. They were very wrong.

[–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

And to them it's still not happening
