Get a Kluwe
I've never heard of Chris Kluwe until today when I read a news article stating he had been arrested at a town hall meeting in Huntington Beach, California, for protesting the recent plaque put up in the city's central library. The plaque is an acrostic using, MAGA. I won't show the plaque, or write what is says. It's all sick sh*t created by the current regime which mimics the past regime headed by Adolph Hitler.
We need more people like Kluwe. I know it's scary. I'm sure anyone who defied the Nazis were terrified. Bit by bit the rights of Jews were taken away. Their businesses were closed. They were forced to move, forced to wear armbands, forced onto trains, and forced into gas chambers.
No one believed one person could be that vile. People scoffed at the rumors of concentration camps, starvation, and murder. Just like now, when people use the laugh emoji to respond to the plight of people being deported or losing their jobs. An f-ing emoji.
Millions of people have died to never, ever see another future with another Hitler. Are we going to ignore the past?
Personally, I think we are there, the purge has begun. It makes me sick to see Americans cheer on the orange cretin. I don't understand their mindset other than they are so full of hate for someone who looks different from them, someone who thinks differently.
We need more Chris Kluwes.
I nearly went into completely shutting myself off from any news after the November election, but I realized that's not the answer- to be ignorant of the reality.
What can we do?
Keep
Looking
Until
We
Emerge (from this dystopian society)
We are smarter. We can fight. When it comes to losing our humanity, sometimes we need to use every means possible to keep it, and yes, that's the conundrum for most good people. Just don't give up.
