"All the people talking about polarization are just fascism enablers. They’re almost worse than the fascists because they’re just like, “Hey, how do I keep getting money in power?”

Let us remember those who suffered and died in the horrific wars of the twentieth century, and let us honour them by committing ourselves to defending the peace and justice they fought for. Photo shows my great uncle (left) and grandfather (right).
