re: #218 HappyWarrior

I keep on thinking that so much of this new nationalism is inevitably linked to the fact we’ve lost more and more voices that remember the Depression and WWII. People like my grandmother who remembered the poverty that existed before The New Deal. People who remember seeing the death camps on the screens of their newsreels at the theaters and later followed Nuremberg. People who bled fighting the Nazis or helped out on the homefront. The new order that emerged from WWII is all most of us have ever known both here in and in Europe. The FP of the next President is going to be so important and it’s why while there’s a lot about Biden that does annoy me, I actually trust him the most on this of the four top Dems running. I think Pete is too hawkish, Sanders too uninterested, and I don’t know about Warren yet.

you’re right - people dont know and think things have always been this way

it’s a parallel to anti-vaxers

anyone who wants to toss out the protections, procedures, safety, checklists, etc as no longer necessary, wasnt around when they first came to be and why
