I say to hell with the internet.... Lets all go back to Cathode tubes with Uhf/Vhf antennas and get Tv like it was meant to be. Free... and you made the kids stand in one spot to tune the antenna just right if you had any reception issues.
Herman Goering himself had this to say when questioned by American Psycologist G.M. Gilbert who collected testemonials among the Nazi leaders at Nuremberg.
“Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship,” Goering reportedly told Gilbert in his cell on the evening of April 18, 1946.
Gilbert replied: “There is one difference(...) In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare war.”
To which Goering said: “Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
I still use the word from time to time. I dont feel the Tankies have exclusive right to this... or any word. I don't think we should allow authoritarians to usurp language like that.
This is just another way they can use fascism to subtlety and suddenly usurp democracy, not that there's any truly left. It's always the same brain dead battle cry from them...."In the name of ( the children / national security/ saftey..etc.) we've got to protect !! " then name any enemy they hate. With Fascism It's deviantly simple to acheive masses of deluded zombie followers..... FEAR....LIES... and SCAPEGOATS. Thankfully DeSantis and Trump hate each other, otherwise who knows...hell they could team up and close the Florida border and Trump could just hide in Florida avoiding any kind of trail While DeSantis declares Florida succeeded from the country. But that wont happen because DeSantis is gonna have his hand out for that sweet federal relief money after the storm passes.
Reagan would have pretended in public to hate Trump, but as long as he didnt think anyone was looking they'd probably admire each others perverted dismantling of the USA.
Ok I'll do the casting :George Jetson = Bryan Cranston, Jane Jetson = Alyson Hannigan, Judy Jetson = Emma Myers, Elroy = (don't know), Rosie = Fran Drescher (If only for her voice..it's perfect), Astro = some dopey grey great dane, Danny Devito = Cosmo Spacely.
Yeah Betty was pure gasoline. Funny you mention The Donna's saw them back in 01... those bitches rocked the house down it's too bad they had to move on from the rock scene.
That's the problem with Neo-Liberals in a nutshell Joe, and Obama had the power, charisma, and platform to do MORE...to stand up stronger to these crony, corporate-anarchocapitalist, fascist bastards but they didn't. That's why the bloody election will likely go the GOP direction no matter what. The eternal see-saw of reactionary voters who'd rather blame the current guy, with only a fools hope that the next guy they throw their flippant votes at will actually do what they "promise" to. It's a cycle of history that no one ever learns form.
Eugene Debs ran for president from prison and lost (unfortunately.. I think in his case), but Do we really want to know the answer to the question of how close we could come to actually electing an indicted seditious traitor, who is all but sure to be convicted with the avalanche of incontrovertible evidence that we have against him if the damn trail would hurry up and begin. I should hope not, but something tells me we might get a look at it.
