FAR too many people, even here on Imgur, still believe that our institutions *will* protect us from the rise of oppressive forces in our respective nations (esp. the US.) History and current events teach us that the citizens are the ultimate Check and Balance, and good people the world over will LOSE if we do not realize not just the seriousness of the threats facing us, but the power that we can wield to stand up for freedom, if we only decide to use it.
This is from the documentary series "War Factories."
People who don't want to live under fascists' boots need to realize that we must be motivated and organized, and willing to act decisively when needed. Mussolini could have been kept out of power, but nobody had the wherewithal to DO anything when the time came, and look what Italy, and so many others, suffered as a result. ANY action in the moment is better than thinking of the best thing to do after it's already too late; inaction will always lose.
Happy Memorial Day!!
