No, but they’d smirk at us if we were being rounded up. They’d be much like the German people who looked the other way.
Totally agree. Their own words demonstrate this:
"Weatherman would shove the war down their dumb, fascist throats and show them, while we were at it, how much better we were than them, both tactically and strategically, as a people. In an all-out civil war over Vietnam and other fascist U.S. imperialism, we were going to bring the war home. 'Turn the imperialists' war into a civil war', in Lenin's words. And we were going to kick ass."
This is from the SDS/Weatherman) speaking about the Days of Rage, but equally belligerent and hateful comments have been and continue to be made by many, including many 'mainstream' entertainers. The difference between the early days of the SDS and now? Previously people like this were marginalized as radicals. Today, former leaders of the SDS/Weatherman teach our children at our universities - and are no longer thought of as fringe. In fact, one of our FR favorites (sarc), Ayers, was a part of Obama's early political efforts, and may have written one of Obama's books.
Yes, you are right. They would allow us to be slaughtered.
