Still hibernating and getting stuff done. I’m systematically going through each area of my apt and sorting it all out. It’s been a while. I’m downsizing my downsize, just to be prepared for anything.
Here’s the thing about politics: each time I think I’m starting to understand and get it right, I’m enlightened anew by much more discerning authorities on how many more layers there are.
For example, panicked white people keep referring to trump’s regime as nazis, gestapo, hitler, etc., as if the precedent comes from Europe, i.e. “foreigners”. (Guess where most of us came from?) The opposite is true: German nazis got a lot of their agenda from studying American white supremacy, genocides, slavery, torture, euthanasia, etc. over time, and adopting ideas and strategies to their own evil plan.
In other words, white America had been perpetrating domination and sadism against its own people and other nations for centuries before the nazi Holocaust. Again, nothing new. Millions of survivors/descendants have witnessed and attested to this harsh truth about us. We can’t claim ignorance and innocence in the face of all the evidence.
No doubt I still have lots to learn, but the bottom line is, it was just a matter of time before the psychopathic outlaws in power escalated to murders of random innocent bystanders. We’ve seen it coming, but we’ve been in denial. Now our fine “cultural tradition” of racism and hatred toward “others” is shamelessly in our faces, like the naked orange emperor, the logical conclusion of our violent history.
It’s probably time I ventured out of hibernation. Too much thinking and excuses. It might even make it to freezing soon.
