Glad you liked it! These are all very important points and seeing the parallels between the 2 situations is, in my opinion, very frightening. People shouldn’t shrug and dismiss what’s going on around us, saying “it could never happen here.” It is happening here.
Loved it.
People with no historical perspective think of society as a platform that we stand on or a set of walls hemming us in, that we should push back against. But if everyone is pushing, then there is no society and we revert to pre-society all-against all shockingly fast.
It’s like teenagers in a stable family always testing the bounds, which they have the luxury of doing because their parents and extended family keep the family intact. But when everyone is a teenager and no one is the parent, the family disintegrates.
