The metaphor’s about pecking order and relative responsibility, rather than Biblical X begat Y begat Z.

To further emphasize how people reacted to Bridges’s attendance, every morning a woman threatened to poison her. The U.S. Marshals overseeing Bridges’s well-being would only allow her to eat food that she brought from home.

It’s more like season one of Six Feet Under. There’s Canada, plugging away quietly at the job, when the US comes in all fanfare and noise whenever it wants, doing whatever it pleases and fucking shit up over and over again, but he’s so cute and charming and Canada is so meek and lacks confidence so no one really…

Are they also in denial about the KKK march in NC or Bannon’s white nationalism? Are those made-up lies by the left as well? I mean, how far do their heads fit up their own asses?

I am a coastal liberal elite (and damn fucking proud of it) and as such, have avoided the south like the plague. However, for my birthday last year my wife booked us a trip to New Orleans. On one of the days we spent our time visiting various plantations and I was horrified by how much these places glorify the…

I keep flashing on how American soldiers marched Germans through the death camps, just to see what their complicity had wrought. If we get through this, the Trump voters have to have their faces shoved in what they did too.

Imagine if Americans had that same attitude in regards to acknowledging the horrors they inflicted on POC (Black and Native Americans in particular).

And the concentration camps ain’t fucking around. You go there, and you come out horrified and changed. You walk into a building and read the placard and it’s like, “Exactly where you are standing is where camp prisoners were shot via a hole in the wall (behind you).”

It’s true. On our block, three doors down, there are three “stumbling blocks”, the devastating golden cobblestones that memorialize the Jews who lived at that address and who were dragged away, enslaved and murdered. And nobody in Germany minces words about a single part of that. It’s the Memorial to the Murdered Jews…

Yep. In Germany, you can’t walk three blocks without tripping over a holocaust memorial. And they didn’t turn their concentration camps into “nostalgic,” “charming,” “historical” places to host weddings, like we did with plantations.

They put us to shame in that department. America was built on genocide and slavery. How many Americans do you think would acknowledge that?

Germany is pretty much the only country that doesn’t whitewash its history, and makes damn sure children are raised learning everything about its past mistakes so they won’t make them again. Virtually no other country does that.

This is all, horrifyingly, true.

Bexit was already an example of this direction... Poland, Hungary and Turkey are already there. So, yeah, it’s already pretty much happening. With LePen on board, there’s basically no one left to fight the good fight except Germany (oh, the irony) and Canada.

you’re a silver linings kind of person, i can tell

Me too. We won’t be the good guys in this scenario and we have the largest military the world has ever seen. The consequences of this will be felt the world over.

What’s really sad and scary is that the US will be on the wrong side. This is what has been keeping me up at night. This coming from someone who was in the Marines. Our troops will fuck up whoever they are told to fuck up. I have no idea what’s in store for us.

The alt right certainly seems to be looking toward Putin, Trump, and Le Pen as the new Axis.

I was talking to a good friend of mine who thinks we’ll see a wave of white supremacist candidates elected in Europe (Marine Le Pen, Norbert Hofer) & this could seriously be a run-up to WWIII.

Not only has 2016 been such a shit year, with megalomaniacs on the rise to power across the globe like we haven’t seen since the lead-up to WWII (when dozens of world powers didn’t have nuclear weapons), it could also be our last year!
