Truly. You can look at America today and just see how close we are to doing what Germany did. You just need a certain percentage of the population to have some crazy ideas and to be darn certain that they are absolutely right and everyone else is absolutely wrong. Once those people get control, anything can happen.
With respect to governance and capitalism, I for one am darn certain I am absolutely right and everyone who opposes me is wrong (with respect to the Leftists in comparison) but the difference is, my ideas in which I believe are in alignment with individual rights and freedoms contrast theirs which are not.
Of course, the Left who I contrast with will attempt to define “individual rights and freedoms” in such a way as to validate their own tyrannical views (such as “you don’t have individual rights and freedoms if you don’t have the same amount of money or property as others”)
I guess it's not surprising, that the one thing we are told over and over and over is the only bad thing in society - racism - now has its own religion.
The cult of anti-racism is real, and its adherents are as zealous and crazy and punitive and violent as any extremist religious sect. Any act of discrimination, any curtailment of your freedom is justified to them. The scary thing is that it has infected people at all levels of society, people with the power to force you to submit to their demands.
The scariest thing is that only about three or people stand in the way of this chaos. If Trump and a few senators should lose next month, watch out... Our country as we know it is hanging on by a thread.
