When you wage a war on an enemy, you win when the enemy is dead. When you wage a war on an idea, there’s no final end point.

We have a word for German citizens who weren’t actively in the regime, but who also didn’t do much to stop it. The word is nazi.

In 1865, the U.S. ratified the 13th amendment that reads “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” Essentially ending slavery as we know it.
And since then, the wealthy have been attempting to do everything they can to bring it back.
It started with the black codes and Jim Crow, doing a facsimile of slavery and violence. This merged into segregation, and then on to red linning and unequal judicial practices. In the civil war, the south got poor white men to enlist by convincing them that freed black men would take their jobs, and we see this continued rhetoric today.
As a result, black people have been grouped together by way of literally preventing them from being in white areas, and for the last 70 years, relying on how difficult it really is to move up and out of any area. You know the best way of passing down wealth? Real estate, which black people have been pointedly pushed away from by redlining and segregation. Ultimately, black Americans have developed their own parallel culture, one that white people have historically shrieked away from. So we end up with two very different groups that see each other as different.

Unfortunate for Conclave. It’s a fantastic movie but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t surprised that it got any Oscar nods.

The fatal flaw of the internet is that you can find people who are into similar obscure stuff that you’re into, but that also means the nazis can also find each other
