I wonder if modern "enlightened, tolerant" people will ever realize they're in the throes of an unreasoning tribal hatred greater than any ever practiced by the "primitives" in Babylon or Sumeria. All of the hatred Christians reserved for the devil, they've placed on enemies of the neoliberal western state, but without the mercy and pragmatism.
The modern world hasn't made people better. It's made them feel grander, which has allowed them to devolve into filth without noticing.
The social media war is horrifying. Every individual feels it necessary to engage in geopolitical posturing, which has resulted in a never-ending feedback loop of escalation. President Biden, who won without evidence, is even encouraging Ukrainian civilians to throw their bodies in front of Russian tanks. These people are needlessly agitating to get as many civilians massacred as possible.
If you removed the democratic force that is activating every individual as a political actor and the social media which is allowing them vicariously participate, this conflict would have already been resolved.
Throw yourself in front of tanks to protect o̶u̶r̶ your globohomo government, goy. (who will replace you in a couple of decades anyway. )
Honestly, this really is the progressives turning towards their bad old ways.
This is very reminiscent of the Anti-German sentiment of WW1 during the Progressive Era.
We're not quite at the levels of Anti-German sentiment post-WW2 yet though. I learned yesterday that in certain countries, Germans had to wear white stars on their clothes, were severely limited in their mobility and were a constant target of harassment, violence and murder.
Well, that's pretty far away. Somewhere between 40,000 and 150,000 Germans were killed post-war due to reprisals. It's not an accident that Germans were being forced to wear stars and face open discrimination. The people conquered by Germany during the war had Germans forced into their communities that the locals were intentionally displaced from. This occupying Germans treated all the people they subjugated badly, which is why these reprisal measures were put into place.
It's not a surprise that people who survived the Holocaust in occupied countries would go on to take reprisal attacks against ethnic Germans as a result of the actions done against them.
What I'm talking about is the level of discrimination during the war in America.
