  • That’s the thing about “hierarchies” that rely on manipulating and dividing the masses to carry out social darwinism for them. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join, as long as they can be exploited. Once you’ve served your purpose, you find out real quick your new purpose is simply to replace the scapegoat you helped eliminate.

    It doesn’t matter if you’re JD Vance, Bari Weiss, or some random schmo that joined ICE bc they just needed the money and didn’t mind hurting other people. You do not belong at the top of their hierarchy. You don’t “earn” a spot. You’re either born into it, or you’re not. In case it wasn’t already obvious, claims of meritocracy are part of the projection and manipulation thing.

    It’s amazing that people are dumb enough to believe that the same families of generational wealth, who have recycled and relied on this same strategy over and over again, have simply made a special exception and welcomed them into the club. As long as they don’t step out of line, and as long as they always do as they’re told, they’ll be safe, regardless of what history tells them.

    They’re so busy enjoying the little taste of power and belonging that they’ve been rewarded with for enabling the “lions,” they won’t even realize they’re being fattened up to make a more convincing public sacrifice until it’s too late.

    I had this really awesome kind of angry and nihilistic history teacher in H.S. who offered an elective course that studied the repeated patterns through history leading up to genocide. It covered Armenia, Rwanda, and the Holocaust.

    I don’t know if it was just the fact that we looked at the repeated overlaps between human behavior vs just memorizing historical events, but if more people took a course like Crimes against Humanity maybe they would learn to spot those clear patterns of human behavior that somehow happen over and over again without anyone noticing.

    push back the second a nazi takes an inch as they will take more if you play the nice and tolerate. Not everyone is well intentioned.

    Yep, the Holocaust didn’t happen overnight. It always starts as a slow slide into genocide, but once it picks up steam it turns into an avalanche. It drives me nuts that people keep pretending we should be entertaining any of this as just normal politics. The reaching across the aisle bullshit was insane a year ago (and really 10 years ago), but at this point it is literally enabling this shit to happen. You’re a collaborator.
