    Since the Second World War, we've said 'never again' like we were casting a spell of guarantee. But 'never again' was a commitment, and we did not keep it.

    The world has witnessed the rise of fascism in the United States, and the most disturbing part is that almost nothing stood in its way.

    Feeling deeply worried. For my kids. For us all.

    The last rise of fascism had its funding & inspiration from The Moneyed of the UK & USA.

    Both empires never got over their hankering for colonialism, slavery & bigotry.

    Fascism had the same kind of financial backers then as now.

    1. Hitler got funding from Henry Ford & IG Farben

          @kristiedegaris Mainly as tourist wife and me travelled a lot all over the UK, for 44 years now. There is a lot of Bad, but also Good. After Maggie, things did not improve for commoners. But we saw local social networks getting stronger. Through church, clubs, places-to-meet and talk and stay warm. Finally see that happening in The Netherlands too . There is lot of noise. That is not where it is happening.
          It is just there where it is needed.

              It's not that nothing stood in its way. It took decades, and a lot had to be changed to get here.
              There is a segment of the population that has always wanted this and is loving it now. We allowed our safeguards against these people to be taken down.

                It can't be #neveragain until humans keep sociopaths out of politics, out of any positions of power. That's why greed is overtaking humanity's real progress.

                  @kristiedegaris Never again requires education, and teaching, but was sounding to much as resistence against the new powers. We had needed to teach all people to be part of society and be an active member of governing our societies. But we were lazy and kept believing on strong leaders, and benovelent dictators. The USA was designed for a fascist takeover because convenience was to attractive.

                      Had Japan not attacked the USA, I wonder if the USA might have entered the war a year later, but on the other side.
