To paraphrase Rumsfeld on the topics of self-chosen unilaterally escalated wars: �you send your proxy to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have�

So if neo Nazis are what you have then that�s what you arm it�s just realpolitik

look starving the unvaccinated and stealing their kids is the only idea i have to get them vaxxed. if you're so smart why don't you come up with an idea that will ensure 100% compliance with vaccines

keep thinking about that post

and how all of the unvaxxed I know grew up with childless aunties who were forcibly sterilized in government operated clinics in the 70's

and grew up with grandparents who were kidnapped by the government as children and sent hundreds of miles away to boarding schools where they were beaten for speaking their language and practicing their culture

and grew up knowing the federal government did their best to genocide their ancestors

wondering which method will convince them to get vaxxed. starving them? stealing their children? denying them lifesaving medical procedures?

gradenko_2000: Oct 5, 2010; HELL SERPENT; Lipstick Apathy

Presented for your perusal: Joe Biden really is the modern FDR

quote:

The fog of despair hung over the land. One out of every four American workers lacked a job. Factories that had once darkened the skies with smoke stood ghostly and silent, like extinct volcanoes. Families slept in tarpaper shacks and tin-lined caves and scavenged like dogs for food in the city dump. In October the New York City Health Department had reported that over one-fifth of the pupils in public schools were suffering from malnutrition. Thousands of vagabond children were roaming the land, wild boys of the road. Hunger marchers, pinched and bitter, were parading cold streets in New York and Chicago. On the countryside unrest had already flared into violence. Farmers stopped milk trucks along Iowa roads and poured the milk into the ditch. Mobs halted mortgage sales, ran the men from the banks and insurance companies out of town, intimidated courts and judges, demanded a moratorium on debts. When a sales company in Nebraska invaded a farm and seized two trucks, the farmers in the Newman Grove district organized a posse, called it the �Red Army,� and took the trucks back. In West Virginia, mining families, turned out of their homes, lived in tents along the road on pinto beans and black coffee.6

In January, Edward A. O�Neal, an Alabama planter, head of the Farm Bureau Federation, bluntly warned a Senate committee, �Unless something is done for the American farmer we will have revolution in the countryside within less than twelve months.� Donald Richberg, a Chicago lawyer, told another Senate committee a few weeks later, �There are many signs that if the lawfully constituted leadership does not soon substitute action for words, a new leadership, perhaps unlawfully constituted, will arise and act.� William Green, the ordinarily benign president of the ordinarily conservative American Federation of Labor, told a third committee that if Congress did not enact a thirty-hour law, labor would compel employers to grant it �by universal strike.� �Which would be class war, practically?� interrupted Senator Hugo Black. �Whatever it would be,� said Green, �it would be that.�.�.�. That is the only language that a lot of employers ever understand�the language of force.�7 In the cities and on the farms, Communist organizers were finding a ready audience and a zealous following.

Patrick J. Hurley, Hoover�s Secretary of War, ordered a transfer of troops from a small Texas post to Kentucky. Tom Connally of Texas, rising in the Senate, accused the War Department of deliberately concentrating its armed units near the larger cities. �The Secretary of War, with a glitter of fear in his eye,� Connally reported, �referred to Reds and possible Communists that may be abroad in the land.� The mayor of New York, newly inaugurated, sought to reassure his city: �You�re going to have a Mayor with a chin and fight in him. I�ll preserve the Metropolis from the Red Army.� But the next week a group of Communists shoved their way though a police line before the brownstone house on East 65th Street where Franklin D. Roosevelt was making his plans for the future. Eleven Democratic leaders were having their picture taken on the front steps; they stepped nervously into the house as the Communists shook their fists and shouted, �When do we eat? We want action!� (Among the politicians were Cordell Hull and James F. Byrnes; they would have more to do with Communists before they were through.) The police with a flourish of nightsticks cleared the street.8

Elmer Davis reported that the leading citizens of one industrial city�it was Dayton, Ohio�had organized a committee to plan how the city and the country around could function as an economic unit if the power lines were cut and the railroads stopped running. Over champagne and cigars, at the Everglades in Palm Beach, a banker declared the country on the verge of revolution; another guest, breaking the startled silence, advised the company to �step without the territorial boundaries of the United States of America with as much cash as you can carry just as soon as it is feasible for you to get away.� �There�ll be a revolution, sure,� a Los Angeles banker said on a transcontinental train. �The farmers will rise up. So will labor. The Reds will run the country�or maybe the Fascists. Unless, of course, Roosevelt does something.�9

But what could he do? In February 1933, the Senate Finance Committee summoned a procession of business leaders to solicit their ideas on the crisis. Said John W. Davis, the leader of the American bar, �I have nothing to offer, either of fact or theory.� W. W. Atterbury of the Pennsylvania Railroad: �There is no panacea.� Most endorsed the thesis advanced by the permanent elder statesman Bernard Baruch: �Delay in balancing the Budget is trifling with disaster.� And, as they spoke their lusterless pieces, the banks began to close their doors. �Our entire banking system,� said William Gibbs McAdoo in exasperation, �does credit to a collection of imbeciles.�10

But bankruptcy of ideas seemed almost as complete among the intellectuals. �My heartbreak at liberalism,� wrote William Allen White, �is that it has sounded no note of hope, made no plans for the future, offered no program.� On the eve of the inaugural, a leading American theologian pronounced an obituary on liberal society. His essay was written, said Reinhold Niebuhr, on the assumption that �capitalism is dying and with the conviction that it ought to die.� Let no one delude himself by hoping for reform from within. �There is nothing in history to support the thesis that a dominant class ever yields its position or its privileges in society because its rule has been convicted of ineptness or injustices.� Others, in their despair, could only yearn for a savior. Hamilton Fish, the New York congressman, spoke for millions when he wrote to Roosevelt late in February that in the crisis we must �give you any power that you may need.�11

The images of a nation as it approached zero hour: the well-groomed men, baffled and impotent in their double-breasted suits before the Senate committee; the confusion and dismay in the business office and the university; the fear in the country club; the angry men marching in the silent street; the scramble for the rotting garbage in the dump; the sweet milk trickling down the dusty road; the noose dangling over the barn door; the raw northwest wind blasting its way across Capitol plaza.

when I saw those rasmussen results about dems wanting to take kids away from and imprison the unvaxed I was skeptical that it wasn't some rightwing FUD, then you see a post like the aforementioned one in the wild and the only reaction is variations on :smith:

it's just appalling that endorsing social eugenics by withholding food & medical care is an acceptable metric & not punishable, especially given what's considered to be punishable, like asking questions that make liberal tummies hurt.
