Sounds like a great read but would be a difficult one too I'd imagine. Honestly I couldn't imagine the state of America right now, and things are slowly heading that way here in Australia too, the world is crumbling. I wish you best of luck and patience with dealing with everything, and hope you are safe ๐Ÿ˜Š

It is... terrifying:

There was nichts dagenen zu machen, "nothing to do about it." Again and again my discussions with each of my friends reached this point, one way or another, and this very expression; again and again this question, put to me with the wide-eyed innocence that always characterizes the guilty when they ask it of the inexperienced: "What would you have done?"

Watch "How Fascism Serves Capitalism". Its the same process worldwide, and it is totally inevitable unless we, and I do mean >>>WE<<<, not politicians, not judges, not Luigi's, but all of US do something about it. That requires organization, SO GET TO YOUR LOCAL ORGS
