Yet another book (by a white USian) saying that "Americans" are all racist, xenophobic, bigoted, etc. Of course, this implies that only white conservative Judeo-Christian US citizens are "Americans." The rest of the hemiphere doesn't count. Neither do mixed-race liberal US citizens (like me).

In other words, appeal to hatred.
It's something being tried in Canada, too. But I think our multi-party Westminister parliamentary system is more robust to it. As well, we are not subject to:
(a) years-long election campaigns
(b) unlimited political donations
(c) rampant gerrymandering

Something I really dislike about the Democratic Party is that when something happens they use it as a reason to fundraise, instead of doing anything about it.

Jan. 27 was Holocaust remembering day, in commemoration of the taking and closing of the Auschwitz death camp. Since that day, over 30 genocides and other mass murders of innocent citizens by their own governments have taken place. Nobody is doing much to stop it. The US is in major danger.

The anger against this fascist Trump regime trying to enslave us all right now is palpable across the country! My question is why the hell did it have to take the deaths of all these innocent ICE victims before people here finally woke up to what the fuck was going on in our country?!

It seems that a lot of Americans have no knowledge of what democracy, the rule of law, and personal freedom are, and another large lot does know but opposes all of them. We have a monumental job of education on our hands, getting some understanding back into the public of why they are good ideas.

The Democrats have only a few weeks to grow a spine. Otherwise Trump will have gone far enough into dictatorship to invoke mass murder, including presumably the Democrat leadership.

Back in the day, McCarthyism was stopped, the Vietnam War was stopped, and civil rights bills were passed, because of organization. Not enough of that now. Trump and his gang would have been stopped long ago. We need the labor movement back, for one thing.

Going to war with a long-term, close ally over an ice sheet is also a prelude to mass murder. This demented president is out of control and must be stopped by bipartisan action.

Shooting an innocent American citizen is bad enough, but a huge open lie about it from the President and all his minions is far worse. This in dictatorships is always a prelude to mass murder. Expect Obama, Biden, and Democratic congresspersons to be in extreme danger from now on.

The invasion of Venezuela is the final blow to the rule of law in the USA. We now have full-on fascist dictatorship, with rule by one man, and that one a demented psychopath. Somebody should ask the six Supreme Court justices why they gave him total power. Somebody should speak of fascism overall.

People are missing the clear danger: Trump is starting a war so he can declare total control, crack down, and start exterminating opponents and anyone he does not like. This is Hitler in Poland in 1939--Trump imitating as usual.

Trump isn't the problem. The problem is that amoral rich people can get half the country to vote pure hate, so that said rich can be crooks without being bothered. Then, people like Trump inevitably rise to the top. Stop the hate. Then arrest criminals even if they have money.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Should you refuse to show compassion because you believe it would make you appear weak, then you have misunderstood what strength is. It is honorable to have concern for others, to show empathy and to offer aid to someone in distress. To rebuke this is cowardice, not strength.

I see more and more posts about minor scandals in the US and fewer and fewer about the mass murders overseas by Trump and his gang: 600,000 killed so far by canceling USAID; over 100 blown up on fishing boats claimed without evidence to be carrying drugs from Venezuela; more from climate change.

Non-haters simply must understand that fascists not only believe they must oppress and be cruel, they see it as the basis of morality. The hierarchy and power structure must be maintained or society falls apart and everything collapses. Trump seems to believe this quite seriously.

Cowardly morality is the morality of hate: hatred, passive-aggression, sulking, whining, and above all redirecting hate to weaker people (or animals). It is 100% of the morality of fascism, including Trump, Charlie Kirk, and that world. They actually think it is moral to repress, harm, and kill.

Three types of moralities: Love and care (begins from family, basic to traditional Christianity); cowork (begins from working and helping within family and peers, based on responsibility and tolerance); cowardly defense (based on babies dealing with discipline, putdowns, anger, and stress).

Ever wonder why the algorithm and our cultural overlords want you miserable? It’s because joy is resistance. Joy lets us know that there are things worth fighting for. That’s why they want to take it from you. Don’t let them. Fight to find joy, so you can fight for your values. #joy #advent #sermon
