  • It’s really weird … after the war, it was perfectly acceptable to call out, accuse and point fingers at communists or communist sympathizers as enemies of the state … many of these people had fought as our allies a few year prior and helped to win the war.

    At the same time, we were welcoming Nazis and Nazis sympathizer into the country - many of whom were the same people our veterans had fought against a few years prior - and then allowed them to gain wholesome productive and wealthy lives in complete secrecy because government knew that it no one would like that.

    It was far easier to be a Nazi or a Fascist after the war than it was to be a communist or socialist.

    The stigma is so great that no one even wants to admit it even today.

    It’s no wonder that far right ideology is so prevalent these days. It’s a cancer we never wanted to fully immunize ourselves from. And now its coming back and we still won’t admit we suffer from it.

    Exactly … it’s the kind of place with one cheap coffee machine that buys the cheapest ground bulk coffee they can find and probably spike the grounds with a bit of salt to make it palpable for their regular customers who all don’t care about their coffee because they’ve been visiting the same place for over 20 years.

    Chaotic evil is leaving the bag wide open … in the freezer … behind the three bags of frozen fries … for three weeks … but it’s the only bread you have at 11pm on a Saturday night and you don’t feel like doing or getting anything else to make you sandwich.

    It would put us all in a great environment where we could have access to our feces and an available target to throw them at, especially after a heated debate with some jerk.

    They should create a communal toilet for all political discussions and public political forums everywhere.




  • If a leading Nazi could easily go into the ranks of the US government and kick start its space program that eventually led them to land on the moon and everyone was perfectly OK with that … then it would become much, much easier to ignore every lesser Nazi that ever came out post World War Germany.

    Look up Operation Paperclip and look up the history of Wernher von Braun

    In post war Canada as many critics have pointed out … it was far easier and more acceptable to be a former enemy Nazi and Fascist … then it was to be a former war ally socialist or communist.

    Our ancestors and relatives who fought in this war against one ideology came home after the war to mix with the same people they fought against supporting the same ideology they had just fought against a few years prior.

    The worst part of this history is that Nazism and Fascism is like a cancer that we allowed to stick around after the war and we literally fostered and grew it ever since and now we are dealing with it all again … all because a small group of entitled morons, millionaires and billionaires were afraid of a bit of socialism that could have spread the wealth a bit to everyone else.






  • “Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.” - anonymous quote

    These problems are never originated by the poor, they are created by the wealthy. It’s an age old practice of the wealthy to create inequality and then blame the poor for not being lucky enough to be rich. Many writers and thinkers have understood this problem for centuries but too many powerful people take advantage of the ignorance of the population.

    Who is the smart ethical individual?

    Someone who steals food because they have no other way of getting any?

    Or the billionaire who doesn’t need any more wealth to live a long fruitful existence but still decides to consciously increase the cost of the food he sells in order to make himself even more wealthy?
