...next step is persecuting people who have normal standards of behavior...
We have already passed that step - if one extrapolates the erosion of personal freedoms and growth of government that I have seen since I was a boy in the fifties - there is little reason to expect that anything less than total governmental control within the next 25 years.
The cars that you drive will be limited, the amount of energy that you consume will be regulated, the ingredients in the food that you eat will be regulated, the school curriculums will be even more controlled, radio and TV will be regulated, your right to free speech will be limited, the wages that one earns - even in the private sector will be controlled and harshly taxed to redistribute all of the wealth in the country, personal privacy will become a memory.
All of these things, which are in the process of implementation NOW would have been unthinkable 50 years ago.
My only hope is that as the pace and frequency of these “freedom takebacks” increases due to the sickness of those who are controlling the government - the changes will become outrageous enough to spark a backlash from those who remember how it used to be.
I remember being dragged by my CATHOLIC school for a rally for JFK. I was 17...and it was a kick....and a day off from school.
When I was ready to vote for the first time, my dad sat me down and told me about the Kennedy family.
If I had to do it again, I would have stayed in school...rather than getting a free hat and a day off.
I was just plain ignorant.
Palomote’s right...it already happens everywhere the no homormative crowd gains power:
