The day after Reagan’s election as governor of California, a liberal pro-Brown acquaintance met me with haggard face and fevered brow, muttering “Didn’t they ever hear of Hitler? Didn’t they ever hear of Hitler?” Did he mean Reagan was Hitler? “Well,” he said darkly, “look how Hitler got started ...” A light struck me about what was going on in his head. “Look,” I said, “you’ve heard of Hitler, so tell me this: how did Hitler become chancellor of Germany?”

My pro-Brown enthusiast was taken aback: “Why, he won some election or other – wasn’t it – with terror and a Reichstag fire and something like that.” – “That was after he had already become chancellor. How did he become chancellor of Germany?”

Don’t go away to look it up. In the 1932 presidential election the Nazis ran Hitler, and the main bourgeois parties ran Von Hindenburg, the Junker general who represented the right wing of the Weimar republic but not fascism. The Social-Democrats, leading a mass workers’ movement, had no doubt about what was practical, realist, hard-headed politics and what was “utopian fantasy”: so they supported Hindenburg as the obvious Lesser Evil. They rejected with scorn the revolutionary proposal to run their own independent candidate against both reactionary alternatives – a line, incidentally that could also break off the rank-and-file followers of the Communist Party, which was then pursuing the criminal policy of “After Hitler we come” and “Social-fascists are the main enemy.”

So the Lesser Evil, Hindenburg, won; and Hitler was defeated. Whereupon President Hindenburg appointed Hitler to the chancellorship, and the Nazis started taking over.

The classic case was that the people voted for the Lesser Evil and got both.

Latine like Lateen in pronunciation ?

quote:

Using Latine (sounds like "la-TEEN-eh") in the U.S. "makes sense as an internationally used way of speaking and writing in a less gendered manner," says Monica Trasandes, director for Spanish language media and representation at GLAAD.

I'm not a Spanish speaker, so someone else will have to explain how it will sound different from Latina when spoken aloud

As far as I know Latinx didn’t have some intentional start beyond academics trying to be gender neutral in papers and then other academics and students noticed and it kind of snowballed into a thing

I’m old enough that I was still in school while people were trying to sort out what came after the gender neutral he with various solutions like “one” instead of pronouns and the teacher in high school who recommended jumping between he and she in alternating paragraphs

The thing is if Latinx had caught on it would still get backlash but it clearly hasn’t caught on and at this point anyone trying to make it a thing is a dork

And I feel bad for anyone who hasn’t heard it spoken, it’s funny every time

Do... do people not use "one" anymore? It still works if you want to do generalized singular, "they" would be awkward in that context.

Not really, you probably use it singularly all the time without even knowing it. "My cousin had a birthday," "Oh yeah, how old are they?" et al.

I will boldly state that what is happening both in Ukraine and Gaza is relatively insignificant compared to what will happen to the entire human race for at least the next 50-100 years if Trump is reelected and remains there. If the new tri-Axis corner stone of BRICS achieves stability at least a third of humanity will be enslaved by 2100.

How many Palestinians remain in the West Bank and Gaza - about 5 million or so?

After a Trump "presidency" takes China-level control of the internet and TV networks, all five million of those people will be exterminated, imprisoned or expelled, and we may not even know about it.

The Democrats will be violently purged and filled with Manchin/Sinema sycophants to play the role of opposition in a staged democracy.

Millions of Americans will be rounded up and put into camps. Tens of thousands will be killed in the process. After a few years of extracting slave labour from them, executions will start in earnest.

All of the remaining democracies around the world will fall in a similar way. That was the dream of the Third Reich and the coming Triaxis will make it theirs as well.
