The trouble some people have with learning from history is the same problem they have with learning from dystopian science fiction: it's a warning, but they see an instruction manual.

Someone on your media team keeps neglecting AltText, rendering posts that are otherwise 🔥 unboostable to many people. Myself included.
Do better, George's Media Team.
@BlippyTheWonderSlug @georgetakei
The same team that promotes comicsands, which is basically a funnel to "X" ?
How many times a day do you see a post like, "Elon is a fascist" ?
In general, there's nothing ordinary people can do against a billionaire.
But "X" might be the exception, because Elon paid too much for it. He can recoup those losses ... if celebrities keep promoting it.

I am assuming this quote is making reference to what is happening in the USA, could all this also explain why the USA supports Israel to the extent it keeps vetoing UN resolutions for a ceasefire.?

Das ist so wichtig, das muss in deutsch wiederholt werden:
„Wer sich nicht an die Vergangenheit erinnert, ist dazu verdammt, sie zu wiederholen.“
(George Santayana, „The Life of Reason: The Phases of Human Progress“ (1905–1906), „Reason in Common Sense“, Kapitel 12)

Erinnern bedeutet Verantwortung – für gestern, heute und für morgen.
Remembering means responsibility – for yesterday, today and for tomorrow.
