History repeats, bur never exactly the same way.
This reminds me a bit of the rise of Nazism, but it’s the ideology itself that is at the forefront, rather than any particular human leader.
This is gonna leave a mark.
The Khmer Rouge were ideology centered.
Pol Pot was elevated from a speech writer to the head of the movement because he was willing to be as brutal as required to attempt to implement their agenda.
This goes beyond Nazism. This is a return to child sacrifice, the denial that a child is human and paganism. What next? Will they endorse exposing an unwanted newborn on a hillside or just toss him or her to the dogs.
