The old Roman adage, “Divide and Conquer” is based on a certain technique that destroys the basic idea of truth. Agreement on facts between people is the ground floor of any cooperative action. Trust is required to accept facts as the best approximations of a truth that will be acted upon on. By destroying any trust in facts or truth there can be no agreement or cooperation possible between two entities. They are effectively divided and easily conquered by those who are not divided.
“The enduring power of old-fashioned biological racism in American society is made even more terrifying given how Trump is now openly channeling Hitler, complete with threats to remove the “vermin” from the country and complaints of how non-white people are “poison” in the blood of the nation.
How Trump and the MAGA movement and larger American neofascists are nakedly trafficking in eliminationism and other racialized violence is a central part of their plan to create an American Apartheid Christofascist plutocracy.
Dehumanizing Black people and other non-whites and targeted groups is one of the first steps towards creating such a hellish America – and we are well down that horrible road as Trump is tied with or leading President Biden in the polls and the 2024 election is less than one year ahead.”
I have had enough conversations with closet Nazis over the years who thought I was one of them to know what they are really thinking about. Their ultimate fantasy that they never talk about except in the strictest confidence.
It can be found in the last chapter of The Turner Diaries.
A white planet with 7 billion non-whites, jews, progressives, and useless eaters exterminated. Leaving a billion Aryans to breed their best. It is their solution to ALL problems on Earth.
Believe it. And you had better believe they will try…. because they know someone else tried it and almost succeeded. They know this is their last chance.
We are not ready, not serious enough, not prepared for what is going to happen. Just like all those “good Germans” who supposedly did not know what was happening, there are tens of millions of people who will do nothing and let it happen. They knew.

“Don’t be- too critical of the efforts of other people.”
Harari…a gay medieval military historian, is one of the most influential people on Earth. And he gives a great deal of credit to his team of about 20 people.
History is NOT the study of the past, it is the study of change.
The pro-democracy movement only needs to embrace border security, gun rights, and stop promoting trans rights and they will sweep all the elections. It is simple. Those three things and democracy is secured. Those three issues are how the autocrats are going to take power, just like they are doing across the world. If democracy dies it will be on that hill, defending people who are not citizens, a cause of death that is less than automobile fatalities or drug overdoses, and a tiny minority.
I noticed many years ago on Fox News that whenever they began using the word freedom it had to do with cutting taxes or regulating industries. I found that the word greed could be substituted in these Fox scripts and it worked just fine. That is what they really mean….greed. Anything that taxes the rich or regulates their activities in pursuit of profit is not “freedom.”
It is Orwellian that the billionaire class pays for the fake identity of the Republican party because the only thing that matters to them is evading taxes and regulation. The prime functions of government are the enemy of the rich. That is why they do anything they can to divide and generate chaos, to distract the citizenry from their pursuit of absolute power.
It all reduces to the rich evading taxes, which is redistribution of wealth, and regulation, which enables control of the rich, who crave control of everything by way of their wealth. I do not understand why this clear and simple message is not repeated constantly.
One way to argue against their talking point is to say that a republic is the term for a representative democracy…that is, we elect our policy makers and if we do not like their policies, we vote them out of office. Instead of a direct democracy with a mob deciding all issues and easily swayed by demagoguery and ignorance, we enable selected highly intelligent people with critical thinking skills to devote their lives to the greatest good for the greatest number. That is a republic.
