Escalating Violence @ New Normal Protests

[Wallfire]

Once again if you want to know what is going on now, study history. Communism, Stalinist, Socialism, Fascism, are all the same thing, yes all the same. None of these can work unless there is fear, hate, civil uprising,killings, the list just goes on and on.
Only when there is evil walking the land do these things thrive. 
HISTORY DOES NOT REPEAT ITS SELF, HUMANS REPEAT HISTORY.

It is puzzling to me how we can look at history and see such a wavering landscape. How reality becomes distorted to such a degree that even those that lived it, start to recolor sections of the sepia memories, making them much brighter and unreal, then they ever where. 

We look at the results of our advances over the years and ignore the damages those advances left in their wake.

We refuse to see that our knee jerk responses to problems that have been developing for centuries will  not be resolved with pen to worthless paper or wishful thinking. We remove a thorn from a gangrenous foot and think it is all better. Worse we feel proud, because at least we tried, and we did, something.

We call for a return to the days of old when America was supposedly great, but we ignore the fact the great was not great for all, and peaceful protest were not peaceful for those that were being drowned by fire hoses,  attacked by dogs, beaten and killed.

I love my country. I belive it is better than most, but I have American bias, because I am American. We have made mistakes, and we will make more.

But if we don't stop rewriting history and start learning from it we are doomed.

People who rewrite history just want to repeat it. But I do find it strange that this has been "forgotten" Justine Damond
