How about some specifics?

Some wars are not like that. Did Poland fail to commentate properly with Hitler's regime? Are they to blame?

Spread the word, awaken the slumbering with loud roars, scream from the mountain tops and be heard. But most of all tell your friends and neighbors to take a stand.
What I noticed is the anti-social trolls on public transportation, in the Shops, etc... are never gorgeous young ladies.
I’d be like - Yea how stupid am I, by the way what’s your name and would you like lunch?
Throughout the history of man, war has been to take something that someone else has that the belligerent wants. It is only relatively recently that mankind has engaged in warfare that is the result of failed politics or punitive measures for some perceived infraction, and then, only in the westernized world. The "3rd World" still engages in conflict over the coveting of things.
What about WHEN TRUTH BECOMES A CRIMINAL OFFENSE?????
I was going to mention this in the millenials thread and didn’t but it’s just as appropriate here.
The unintended consequence of suppressing opinions and viewpoints from young people is that someday they experience a kind of awakening, when they discover a whole new world of suppressed information and it begins to dawn on them that the revelations might actually be closer to the truth than what they’ve been fed all their lives. It’s a powerful catharsis.
A kind of rebellion occurs and sometimes the rejection goes too far and they end up down a fringe rabbit hole, but for the most part, they newly converted are much more enthusiastic about the truth than the old guard, but for the most part you get a slow conscription to reality.
Millennials are confusing to older generations, but in my experience they are actually quite straight forward. They’re more libertarian for the comfort of social conservatives, but except for the activist types that got fully recruited, they are not socialist robots. They’ve just been convinced by the media that our current socialism isn’t enough and they face some kind of vague existential threat because of it.
They are fully capable of being reached, with the right message. Levin’s book is timely, and I haven’t read it but I suspect it goes toward the point of this topic here. We need to expose (in general, with a strong case) how the media controls the truth. We tend to get mired in the varied specific that come up without truly exposing all that’s been done to people.
Both these groups hate the truth because it competes with their narrative.
Unfortunately for them, truth, like reality, ALWAYS bats last.
Any civilization built on UNTRUTH is always knocking at death's door.
Fortunately for humans, the world is a free market for civilizations.
As an aside, it is funny how Judeo/Christian civilization has been around since the days of Noah (and before) and is still thriving.
It's a tough task, but we are working on it. If nothing else it will be a measure of how rotten the republic has become. Good post. Welcome aboard.
As long as there are still defiant and unapologetic people who refuse to characterize lies as truth, toe the PC line, speak their mind, and refuse to praise the emperor with no clothes, civilization won’t end.
the disintegrated mode of thought which rejects reason and reality + worship of big government as God, leads to disaster, and mass misery and suffering.
Democrats no longer accept the outcomes of elections they don't win. The alternative to peaceful elections is, well, an uncivilized mess.
The Democrats don't want a peaceful and prosperous society. They just want power and control over people.
Welcome to FR
When truth means denying yourself the
luxury of an occasional unexpressed thought,
society is better off with little white lies.
When uncomplimentary and spoken about the “protected”, TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.
