Don't engage, don't engage, it's not worth it… Oh hell, I'm too curious.

Dan Carlin just released a Common Sense podcast today or yesterday that touched on this. The key part (paraphrased): If you find yourself cheering the guy doing the punching, something is very wrong, and at least some of it lies with you.

You gotta take the Olivanderian view of things if you ever hope to make it out alive:

They also had an actual Depression to deal with. Not that that's an excuse for behavior, mind you, but it does explain why the movement gathered steam.

Let's leave the false flag conspiracy stuff to Alex Jones.
