Better to have a secretary of state than a secretary of hate.

Ironically, yes.

The anti fascist moral of the Holocaust is increasingly seldom taught these days, as people like hazel use the event as some kind of perverse ideological bludgeon and excuse for supporting apartheid.

There were “good” Germans who just went along with the fervor and the dogma of the nazi party, people convinced and brainwashed by nazi propaganda that their neighbors were evil and subhuman, until the momentum of the machine made it impossible to stop from the inside.

In America we do not like hear this message, as it makes our “othering” of immigrants, native people, blacks, Mexicans, LGBQT people, the poor and the disabled that much more uncomfortable.

America is a country that longs for a mindless enemy to blame and to destroy. The nazi, the Jap, the communist, the Muslim, the atheist, the socialist, the vicious criminal, the illegal alien, the elite, the corporations, the ‘globalists’. Seems the only thing that will be tolerated is white supremacism. Sure it will be mocked or looked down on in cycles, but it will be tolerated.

I see many parallels to Germany in the run up to WW2, and it’s hard to tell if the world has dodged a bullet or if America’s fall into fascism is inevitable but has only been delayed.

Here for the hundredth time SolRo repeats the lie that antisemitism and the Holocaust are somehow being exaggerated as an excuse to shut down free speech. He pretends to look down his nose at the Capitol atackers, but when it comes to blaming Jews for the world's ills he's arm in arm with them -- both are spewing the same conspiracy theories Blinkin is condemning here.

Fuck off and die. Or look in the mirror if you're not a coward. You're the problem.

It should also go without saying that neither Secretary Blinken nor I are "supporting apartheid". Neither of us is a "Zionist shill", which was SolRo's phrase just yesterday. For fuck's sake, did you hear him talk about his family -- is it so hard to believe that opponents of antisemitism might actually be sincere?
