Some of us of a certain age have been asking the same question for a long while now. Since when are Americans so compliant, so acquiescent, so, so fearful?
Historians of the future will have a hard time figuring out how so many organized groups of strident jackasses succeeded in leading us around by the nose and morally intimidating the majority into silence. Thomas Sowell (@ThomasSowell) June 22, 2020
Worse than silent really, complicit. Whether we are talking about COVID or BLM, facemasks or prostration, people cant wait to get onboard the train.
Good training for your lives under Islam rule, you idiotic tools
It seems to make no difference if the train theyre jumping on is driven and conducted by authorities or activists nor do they seem to care where its ultimately headed.
Yeah, lets have more CHOP/CHAZ zones. That should provide economic well being and safety to one and all. Because this looks highly sustainable.
and safe.
And I note that 80 years on historians are still trying to figure out the answer to Dr. Sowells question with respect to Nazi Germany. The answer then and now is distressingly easy: sheeple.

Once again, Mr. Sowell hits the nail on the head...and with a sledgehammer to boot.
They realize that no matter what they do they will be labelled racist, so they keep their heads down to minimize the incoming fire.
They refuse to stand up and assert that one unjust killing does not justify the destruction of our country, her monuments, and her Constitution.
From Wikipedia - which inaccurately characterizes them as far-right even though they have "socialist" right in their name...
The National Socialist German Workers' Party[a] (abbreviated in German as NSDAP), commonly referred to in English as the Nazi Party,[b] was a far-right political party in Germany that was active between 1920 and 1945, that created and supported the ideology of National Socialism.
Emphasis is mine. Sound like anyone we know today? Who is advocating for Socialism?
Initially, Nazi political strategy focused on anti-big business, anti-bourgeois, and anti-capitalist rhetoric...
Boy, that sure sounds familiar. "Big Pharma" "Big Oil" etc. Who uses those terms in a derogatory fashion today?
Pseudoscientific racist theories were central to Nazism...
Now we could apply that today a couple of ways. Are we seeing one race promoted above all others right now? Anyone? {cough}BLM{cough}... Speaking of pseudoscience we could apply this notion to the whole global warming scam too.
The Nazis sought to strengthen the Germanic people, the "Aryan master race", through racial purity and eugenics, broad social welfare programs, and a collective subordination of individual rights, which could be sacrificed for the good of the state on behalf of the people.
Now today's little brown shirts are going a different way - for now. They're slogan is "diversity!" makes us stronger. But they are right on board with social programs, collectivism, no individual rights - the agenda is everything.
They disenfranchised and segregated homosexuals, Africans, Jehovah's Witnesses and political opponents.
Gosh, sounds awfully familiar too. The left wants to send us away for re-education. Wants to see us get covid-19. Wants to shoot up our softball games, concerts, etc. It never was about the nazis having something against those groups. They just needed an threat to rally against. Guess what, we're now that target for todays little fascists. We're the big bad, the group routinely demonized so that any action(s) against us can be justified.
They want to replace the police with UN blue helmet pedophiles
Mt Rushmore might be a tempting target for the Woke Taliban, but defacing this monument might require carrying scores of jack hammers or tons of explosives up a mountainside to accomplish. Those bent on vandalizing Mt. Rushmore would also find the authorities in South Dakota will not sit idly by nor will the well armed people of the state.
Sowell’s a never Trumper opportunist. An economist who called tariffs on China an utter disaster. Sorry if I’m not impressed that he’s jumped on the bandwagon.
When a lot of us were early on the Trump Train, Sowell was writing this dreck.
Then when Trump took on China, he wrote this garbage...

Another economist know nothing globalist, “free trader”. The guy’s slightly more credible than Krugman.
Sorry if Thomas Sowell is not someone whose opinion is important to me or any other enemy of the deep state and the selling out of America to the globalists and the Chicoms.
EverTrumpers need to stop being so slavish to him, too.
For Gods sake, give a great conservative a benefit of the doubt. So he failed you on one aspect. Let it go.
I let it go that he backs the Lincoln and Unionist side in the CW...while his equivalent Walt Williams does not at all. As a result I tend to prefer Walt but Id gladly have Tom as president, too.
Happy birthday, Thomas Sowell!

@ThomasSowell
It is self-destructive for any society to create a situation where a baby who is born into the world today automatically has pre-existing grievances against another baby born at the same time, because of what their ancestors did centuries ago.

“We behave the same as the fascists, but the media calls us “antifascists”...
Just as the German media did...”
Media knows where it’s bread is buttered.
