You are mostly correct. Except the bit about fear being a symptom. Fear is the driver. The amygdala bit is an interesting fact. Those with bigger fear centres tend to vote for the no change party.

Fascism comes out of conservative values. They are all based on fear. Conservative voters have enlarged amigdala. Fear of a complex and difficult sometimes paradoxical world leads to fear and uncertainty. That uncertainty gets displaced on to other people being the problem. Black people, women, immigrants. Whatever. The fear leads to control of those groups but that doesn’t ease the fear and eventually leads to the dehumanisation and destruction of those groups.

I know you are sophisticated so you already know all this and you aren’t confused by the Nazis using the world socialism in their party name. National socialist (noun) isn’t the same as socialism (adjective)

What a stupid person. There is a fascist in the White House and he’s a conservative. It’s all to do with fear. Specifically fear or freedom your own, or someone else’s.

How much can you hire a sniper for? Might be worth picking off the 4 guys who show up for this. Just a thought?

All judgment is self judgment

Russia has collapsed a bunch in history. Their conquering isolationist history is a failed strategy.

Ridiculous Russia have zero people, they’ve lost 2m in manpower. They have a lot of land but in every measure they are less powerful than the EU. They are economically the size of Spain. The EU contains Spain and it’s not even the largest economy. Russian propaganda much?

Looks like Grover. (Muppet)

Non violence is not peaceful. Do not make that mistake.

If there is anything we have learnt from the last few years is that any norm any rule or any law will be broken by Trump. What we are seeing in Minnesota is the FBI taking over from the state because federal agencies have power over the states. Trump controls the FBI, CIA, ICE, National Guard. Mark my words, those midterms will be cancelled unless you deal a massive defeat to Trump now. General Strike.
