I made a post on my Facebook about how we defeated Nazis and defeated Confederates and that we shouldn't see swastikas, Nazi salutes, and white supremacists and of loving course a Trump supporter friend says "nothing would have happened if we just ignored the March and if BLM didn't show up"

I want to comment saying that ignoring poo poo like directly led to WW2 but I need to just walk away. There's a large percentage of Americans that can't be helped. We are screwed.

I had a very long discussion with one my liberal coworkers about all of the reasons that point of view is horrendously hosed up and is a major part of what let things get to this point

I think its just incredibly stupid to think that its even possible in the age of Trump to avoid a counter-protest to literal nazi rallies.

If nazis march in America, a lot of people are going to show up and tell them they suck. Its unreasonable to criticize counter-protesters when white nationalists are in town.

Education is not enough. My high school had lengthy units on WW2 and rise of Nazism, showed movies like the Pianist, and covered the Armenian and Rowandan Genocides on top of that.

We still had plenty of racists.

Then it takes a car plowing through innocent people for folks to come out and say "Wow! The Alt Right actually ARE Neo Nazis! Omg Trump really supports white supremacists after all??"

It's really worth reiterating this point. Right wing shitheads don't push racist bullshit out of a cynical attempt to divide and conquer, or rile up their base, or whatever. They push it because they are themselves racist shitbags.

Yeah. I mean, throw him in prison for what he did for sure -- he deserves nothing less -- but that doesn't mean he isn't right at least occasionally.

Ana Navarro is the same sort of case for me. She's supported a lot of harmful things, and will continue to do so, but she's been very on point with her criticism of Trump. I look forward to when Trump is gone and I can go back to hating both of them with no reservations.

Education is not enough but it still has to improve. Where I went to high school in New Jersey there was an entire forty minute class in US history devoted to all the great stuff Hitler did to improve Germany's economy and how wildly popular that made him. The next day we learned about Pearl Harbor and the US entering the war. Weird I feel like something was left out there.

Also learned in high school that most slaves actually were fine with being slaves and were more than happy to just continue working for whoever had enslaved them after the Civil War ended.

gently caress US education.
