Nazis and Wokies Sitting in a Tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G
It's not just the Nazis who love to wag their fingers at the woke left. The woke left loves all this finger waving at the Nazis.
The difference between you and me, probably, is that you have a coded right and wrong and I am stateless. To me, right and wrong are 100% POV, relative, and often related to power structures and grand agendas.
Any tyrant, to me, is a Nazi. Not just white guys.
To me, there can be African Nazis and there can be South Asian Nazis and Southeast Asian Nazis and there can be Pacific Islander Nazis and Mongolian Nazis and Middle Eastern Nazis (House of Saud), and Latin American Nazis. Also, Communist Nazis (Nationalsozialismus), etc.
Who gets to choose what is right and what is wrong? Who is right or wrong? Who the good Nazis are (are there good Nazis? The Nazis you know are better than the Nazis you don't?)
The difference is that you believe that YOU get to chose. That you're the beneficiary of the Book of Good and Bad. As I said, things that were forbidden only yesterday are beyond reproach today. Black Trans Women are Holy now (yes!) but for how long? Forever?
This strick concept of what's absolutely good or bad can quickly be coöpted by the same people "you" ruled against the last time 'round. Right now, the terrorists are domestic white men; next time 'round it's Mexicans, Muslims, Blacks, Jews, Gays.
It's extremely easy for Very Powerful Tools and Very Powerful Weapons to be used against the Maker. The Patriot Act was a huge mistake. The Laws passes after 9/11 were inexcusable.
I guess I need to pop this in here as a de-facto cliche trope:
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
If you carry a gun for your own safety beware of knowing how to protect yourself from having it taken away from you and used again you.
I am a gun owner and it's never easy to prevent an attacker from disarming you and shooting your own face off.
It takes a lot of training and an insane amount of understanding as to the gravity of engaging in deadly force.
