A few days ago, Syrians got to have their first election since Assad fled. Huntington's Disease was treated successfully for the very first time. Renewables became the largest energy source for the first time. Um. Uh. My area just got rain after months of drought.

Nazis has picnics outside of concentration camps. White Americans made lynching a fun family activity and handed out souvenirs. When depravity is whitewashed, it is repeated.

Can you imagine sitting and doing paperwork right next to several rooms full of innocent people you're knowingly, intently abusing. Smiling up at a coworker chatting. The banality of it just. Horrifying.

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

If hope is a discipline we need to hold each other up when we start to despair. Not this subtweet bullshit.

This comment is really unhelpful especially since you're removing it from the context of the thread where she lays out her thoughts, unable to see how to avoid the other side from shooting.
I just don't see how a dismissive comment like this is supposed to assuage fears and not just shame.

I'm genuinely starting to think that the people who say they want to see American's really fight back are really saying they want a specific kind of visible, stereotypical depiction of protest, and have zero zero tolerance for the kind of groundwork it takes to make change happen.

Yes, the way we teach this stuff makes it seem like we can win by memes & PR stunts. I only recently learned the peace activists burning draft records weren't just making a symbolic statement. The draft board didn't have copies - every file destroyed was a man who'd never be called up to war.
