I choose a path of empathy and compassion wherever I can, and I strive to overcome any of my flaws that blind me to these two traits.
But when those nations united, it often had disastrous results, and the more we know about that the more we realize ultranationalism is a bad route.
But a whole people able to be united over core values and ideals isn't something to sneeze at. Especially if those values and ideals are tested, good ideas. It's not like we haven't run all sorts of value types through tests in the real world. And often, the negative hatred ones lead to more pain & hardship for *most*.
But I hate the idea that injustice exists, and that we just kinda accept it as an annoying background radiation of life. It's like we thought we realized that ideals were all bullshit and there was no entity we could trust. Once a whole nation found it easier to unite, but mass communication was also a very new innovation that often they were using.
@Roady_Dragonfae Best of luck! Sending good fortune your way!!
tired of memories (~-)
@Soreth I know how this feels. It does fade over time, but it takes excruciatingly long. :(
Wishing you the best.

@Ratttz I'm sorry the bad thing happened, wishing you the best.

@Zero_Democracy I have my own mixed views. I think we need a transition, but it would probably involve a collapse. I don't think the United States can stick together much longer.
USpol, Nazis
@Zero_Democracy Except the cops. They were hiding behind the cops from a huge swell against them.
Sigh. We need massive reform ASAP
USpol, Nazis
@Zero_Democracy But in this new age of communication they're way too visible and too many people don't want another Nazi Germany. They were just humiliated in Portland, no one put up with their shit. Tow trucks were called on them, they were fucked over.
I think people are fed up enough, or maybe I'm just having hopeful thinking.

@Zero_Democracy If you erase knowledge, you can plant whatever knowledge you want, and if you are the one that creates that knowledge, you can create power for yourself.
It's textbook narcissistic power grabs, and it never lasts indefinitely because fascism feeds on itself; enough egos in one place that prize violence is volatile.
