@JoelKlebanoff @newsguyusa the problem isn’t Trump per se. If the man took his last breath in his sleep tomorrow night, you will just see somebody else come up the next morning to continue the work/momentum that is sponsored by the global fossil fuel industry, which includes Canadian companies and individuals.
Greenland is just a project or perhaps a distraction in itself (not saying it isn’t real, but a distraction). Where the world should be very afraid right now, and support the few who fight against it, is the conservative movement’s attack on the American Fed (Central bank). The people behind Trump have already gained control over the US Supreme Court, if they can also get control of the central bank, the world as you know it will definitely change, with or without Greenland.
@jeffjarvis The main thing is to believe. Naive.
HISTORY REPEATS…👇 “It was not Hitler or Himmler who abducted me, beat me and shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milkman, the neighbor, who received a uniform and then believed they were the master race." ~ Karl Stojka, Auschwitz survivor

The ten pillars of fascism

1.The mythic past: Fascists draw on a mythical past to justify a glorious future.

2.Propaganda: Propaganda in fascist politics often operates through inflammatory speech, stirring hostility and manipulating emotions, and displacing reasoned public debate with fear and division.

3.Anti-intellectual: Fascist politics attacks education, expertise, and language, weakening the tools necessary for informed public debate and leaving power and group identity as the only basis for judgment.

4.Unreality: By flooding the public space with falsehoods and attacking trusted institutions, fascist politics destabilizes reality and shifts truth from a shared understanding of reality to the authority of a leader.

5.Hierarchy: Unlike liberal thought, which expands dignity and rights to all, fascist ideology sees hierarchy as rooted in nature, using myths to legitimize dominance by the powerful. Equality is portrayed as a denial of this natural order.

6.Victimhood: Fascist politics blurs the line between equality and discrimination, portraying the dominant group as victims of a hidden conspiracy.

7.Law and order: A healthy democracy ensures equal justice and mutual respect among citizens and authorities. Fascist law-and-order rhetoric, by contrast, divides society into the naturally lawful and the inherently criminal, portraying those who defy traditional norms, such as women outside gender roles, nonwhites, immigrants, or religious minorities, as threats to order simply by existing.

8.Sexual anxiety: Fascist politics ties national strength to patriarchal manhood and the traditional family, treating any deviation as a threat. It exploits sexual anxiety and economic insecurity, fueling panic over race mixing, gender nonconformity, and nontraditional sexuality to reinforce ideals of purity and order.

9.Sodom and Gomorrah: Fascist politics idealizes rural life as morally pure and central to national strength, while depicting cities as corrupt and influenced by outsiders. Policies are framed to protect rural communities from urban and foreign “contamination.”

10."Arbeit Macht Frei”: In fascist ideology, aid in times of crisis is reserved for the so-called chosen nation: “us,” not “them.” Those excluded are portrayed as lazy and undeserving of state aid, with hard labor seen as a means of reform, an idea symbolized by the Nazi slogan "Arbeit macht frei" at the gates of Auschwitz.

MAGA Boomer: At your age in 1970 I paid off college & bought a house with hard work.

Millennials: In 1970 college was 5% of median salary. Now it’s 44%. A median home was $24K. Now it’s $417K. The top marginal tax rate was 70%. Now it’s 37%. Sure maybe you did work hard—but then you closed the door behind you.
