Tyranny Crushes

Ninety years ago brown shirted thugs organized politically under the rhetoric of a demented orator who played upon their nationalistic weaknesses. “Normal” people were forced to join the movement or be killed or marginalized. Together, the normal folks and their crazed, psychopathic leaders killed over six million people in a demented race for white supremacy. “Never again,” you say.

Jim Jones popped up in Indiana and pitched his brand of righteousness as a skilled orator, an anointed one. One thousand of his followers killed their own children and then killed themselves because he asked them.

Again, the “righteous” are returning to condemn anyone different from them. The majority remained silent in Germany in the 1920s & 30s until it was too late to say or do anything. I hope it’s not the same here today.
