This and war in Ukraine have made me realize how exactly the holocaust happened. When I was little I was always so confused as to how something so horrible could’ve happened, but history is repeating itself and it’s not so surprising anymore.

What I am still shocked about is how so many people, seemingly good people, become blood thirsty so goddamn fast but it does prove how the holocaust came to be, and the fact that nobody can see how it’s happening again is truly astonishing.

    Same, I am an immigrant from a sort of nomadic family granted I came here (the US) at an early age but I just see this nation and other western ones doubling down on imperialism as that’s the only way their economy functions. I.e. Subjugating someone, paying one family that owns a coffee plantation 5 cents a kilogram for coffee produced by slave labor and selling it for 20 bucks here. That’s how they extract value. It’s not by making anything.

    They don’t mind seeing swastikas if their proxies have them, they don’t mind islamists if they are their proxies. They will never side with the oppressed.

        Yep, even the “leftist” squad (AOC, Bernie, etc) just wants to cheer on imperialism in exchange for healthcare and they forgot to even get that in the end. What a joke.
