rant re “love conquers hate,” Pojarmos/Shoah mention 

It doesn’t. Europe was full of Jewish and Romani communities which stuck together and despite how badly we can fuck each other over sometimes, still could be supportive, communal and loving. And those people are now ashes and soil stained red 6’ down. What beat the Nazis then wasn’t love alone, and what will beat them again isn’t likely to be love alone either. Without a willingness to beat heads which need beating, all you have is a platitude.

@Leucrotta As much as I LOATHE having to quote Woody Allen, he did get something right now and then:

"You know, a satirical piece in the Times is one thing, but bricks and baseball bats really get right to the point of it."

@zebratron2084 Luckily for us, some of his movies and essays are still awesome while we can acknowledge him as an asshole.
