lol… it’s not the 1940’s. You know this right? It’s important that you know this.

Best of luck.

some sadistic joy from the suffering of other

LOL
The majority of the world wants you violent imperialist mass murdererd gone.
It's a joyful event.
No crocodile tears for any of you or your kind.

Of course, nobody could even imagine the absolute horror of the Holocaust.

The Armenians could. As could the Nambians. As could the residents of Nanjing, China and Gando, Korea.

But these mass murders were so chronically under-reported - even deliberately suppressed - in media controlled by the political opposition and its allies, that it was possible to never know they'd happened much less consider they could happen locally.

I would also note how the Israel assassination of journalists across Gaza and the West Bank has gone a long way towards suppressing the size and scale of their genocide, particularly at the upper reaches of western media. You absolutely can talk to people in DC or London or Berlin who will (either deliberately or out of their own cloistered media consumption habits) not recognize the scale of atrocity.

But even if you could have convinced someone staring into a cattle car in Poland or Austria that this was the beginning of the end, what would you expect this person to do? Surrounded by armed men who were, in turn, surrounded by tanks and supported by bombers, how were they expected to respond?

The countries had already been defeated. Their people had already been broken on the wheel of war. They were civilians without the training, much less the materials, to mount any kind of guerrilla campaign. They had no Che Guevara or Ho Chi Mein or even a Huey P. Newton to rally them. There certainly wasn't a Mao on hand to lead them in a Long March for their survival and eventual return.

They'd put their trust in the established state lords. Those lords had failed. And now there was nothing standing between them and the gas chambers. Feels trite to say they all should have rushed the guards in a mob, when the Charge of the Light Brigade was the last famous incident of such epic folly.

The soldiers are people who looked at this and said "sign me up".

Has the sheep made any plans for this resistance? Have they made any preparations for it? Formed any organizations? No? They just expected all the other sheep to suddenly form themselves into an army, do all the work themselves, and then praise the guy who said "we should mount a resistance" as a great visionary hero?

The second sheep is right. That isn't the time to say "we should mount a resistance". It's the time to actually resist using whatever means you have available. Of course, that would take actual effort and sacrifice, so they'll just march to the slaughter wondering why the revolution never came.

If you did have a time machine, how would you get everyone to vote?

We had all that under Biden too, and Kamala promised to do what Trump had been doing, but more competently.

Oh there’d be no way I alone would be able to move that mountain. The concept I spoke of involved everyone from right now, going back to 2024 knowing then what we know now…. for a do-over.

But the more I read through the comments, the more I have to accept that many of the people here would chose not change a fucking thing.

There’s tons of people here who were here during the election that were crying and shouting for everyone to not vote blue.

Every single one of them that haven’t run away or rolled an alt so as to return to play the victim of their own decisions- are still going on about that shit. Not a single one admitting they made a mistake and that they wished they could have helped stop this. Not ONE. Yet you don’t see anyone wishing they hadn’t voted against Trump. Even if they (like me) had to plug their nose to do it.

So at this point, I think the collective ignorance has reached such a profound level, that it would be impervious to any form of modification via time travel. It’s so much a part of our fucking culture now, that there’s no chance we wouldn’t just take that shit back there with us. Hell, I’d go so far as to say that our ignorance so fucking prevalent within us that I honestly believe that at this point- it’s embedded into our evolutionary process- essentially….

stupidity is in our DNA.

I don’t debate of even bother with people that make shit up in order to be a part of, or stay in the discussion.

Either play within the margins of reality, or go home.

For all of your sakes, I hope you're right, but what is happening right now is literally every single right is being stripped away. Even the right to vote is in a thin line. Is it worth fighting if you're no longer allowed to vote? If not, the american people are as spineless as I always thought they were.

It’s easy to pass judgment, isn’t it?

Do you surf the Internet to see the exact same takes you have or to see some new perspectives?

Thats like salting then bleaching the plants in your garden because butterflies disturb you. You can do it to show how powerful you are but you're really doing more damage to yourself.

Yeah guys! It's very important that we learn nothing from history and that we ignore the signs of fascism rearing its head once more. /s

No one said anything about winning. I think their point was that it was all losing.

I did say unless you include nukes.

And my point was that they don’t even need them to shut that shit down.

So let’s just loose even more then, right? I can’t fucking stand people that are so smugly arrogant and entitled that they think no one will be affected by their ignorance.

Their wishful thinking remain so regardless of how badly they want it, and the result of their wishful thinking got us trump.

You're absolutely fucking stupid if you think this is better. You get a genocide plus an erosion of every facet of your life, reducing your potential impact to affect said genocide.
