Study history.

Every act of state brutality you tolerate when it’s used against “the others” will eventually be used against you.

Once violence is normalized, the circle of “others” keeps widening.

No matter what—you’ll find yourself inside it, in time.

Does anyone remember the psychotic and dangerous Hollis Green from Big Love?
He always used to end his concersations with " very truly yours Hollis Green".
Remind you of someone?

Ring out a slowly dying cause,
   And ancient forms of party strife;
   Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.

it's crazy that 500 years ago, you would see the ruler of your country maybe once in your life and hear whispers that they're the Sun God, but now with social media, you get to see on a daily basis that they're the most unhinged, idiotic, and unhappy person you know

Christmas Bells
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
    And wild and sweet
    The words repeat 
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Sick to death of people claiming Die Hard isn’t a movie. There are several clues that it definitely is:

It’s 130 minutes long and full of actors

It has a beginning a middle and an end

It has a soundtrack

The aspect ratio is consistent of other movies of the era

Is there no decency in the office of the most power person in the most powerful country in the world?

"The Biden plaque refers to him as 'Sleepy Joe Biden' & calls him 'the worst President in American History"

No, Felon Dictator 47 is the WORST, most unqualified & corrupt "president" in American history
