Those who do not learn from history…
@georgetakei The #USAIsATerroristState. Enter at your own risk. Avoid at all costs.
@georgetakei maybe the guy who would have wanted to be on the loosing side if it had been the 1930/1940's
@georgetakei As always, you’re correct.

@georgetakei

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.

@georgetakei
I know this writing in the original language, and still my first thought was about the gestapo/ice doing this right now in the USA.
@georgetakei this is only ignorance of the populace. the shot callers are using a century old playbook in the hopes we've forgotten where it leads. and the worst part is, they're not wrong...
@georgetakei History repeats itself. We've learned nothing!
No gas chambers yet.
@georgetakei MAGA does not know what history is...
@FrancoisPrague Some do. But they chose not to learn from it.
@georgetakei "Never again" is "forever again". Humans are the greatest menace to themselves and our planet.
@iveyline @georgetakei On the plus side, we seem to be set to destroy ourselves before we manage to invent berserkers of some form and send them out to destroy any life in the universe that might threaten or compete with us.
@georgetakei @nerdfall I would like to share your post. Could you please add the alt text?

@georgetakei
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.

@georgetakei

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.?

@georgetakei Never, mr. takey... (shame on #USA & your disgusting hypocrisy.)
@georgetakei
First they would need to read about history and soak it in without their prejudices to learn! Now having the common sense to apply that knowledge to current events that gets a bit dicey for many!
@georgetakei Oh they remember all right. They just assume that they're going to be the ones doing the dragging, the tearing and the disappearing.
@georgetakei I was reading the words and my brain was thinking about USA. Than Anne Frank hit's my heart. I'm from germany and the similarity about what is going on in USA to what the Nazis have done in middle europe is freightening.

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)

@georgetakei

Erinnern bedeutet Verantwortung – für gestern, heute und für morgen.

Remembering means responsibility – for yesterday, today and for tomorrow.

@georgetakei The origins seem the same so we will see how far it goes
@Robo105 @georgetakei this time the US and the EU stand for the genocide. I guess it depends on whether Russia or China have geopolitical interests in defending Palestine, which doesn't seem to be the case...
@yqn @georgetakei Sadly, it seems you are correct
@georgetakei In Gaza
their don't even bother with kidnapping. They bomb families or shoot people hungry and desperate enough to be lured by food into death traps.
