Absolutely. 40 acres and a mule. Along with the vote. During reconstruction many people in government were freedmen. Can you imagine what our country would be like now if that continued?
These racist fascists really have fucked things over
Yeah, those fuckers killed men in the US Army. To preserve slavery. And then the officer corps and political leaders weren't executed at the end of the war like they should have been. John Brown got it worse for being a hero.
Behind the Bastards covered this on their Mengele episode, which I highly recommend. Robert Evens had a more sympathetic outlook towards the jewish doctors who were useful to the nazis.
Basically, they were put in a terrible situation, and they were able to use their relative privilege to help other internees. And it isn't like they were living the life of luxury, they were all murdered on a regular basis so that they individually wouldn't become to important to the death machine. We shouldn't judge those people too harshly given the choices they were given essentially.
And, I am terrible afraid of the right wing in the US. They aren't even hiding their intent to do a genocide anymore. I live in a progressive enclave of a deeply red state. Needless to say, I'm armed and I encourage all my progressive friends to get armed.
A lot of "useful" prisoner, like doctors and nurses, were used by the nazis to treat other prisoners in the concentration camps. These doctors were killed every six or so months and new ones replaced them. The nazis had endless waves of people that they murdered.
I fucking hate nazis. We should make them all afraid again.
The problem for DeSantis is that he has all the charisma of a wet paper bag. The fascists love Trump not because of his policies or whatnot, but because he is charismatic as all hell while owning the libs. DeSantis is a capable fascist, he can get bad things done, but he doesn't have the theatrics to get into power.
No shit? All democrats in power need to be talking about how their are going to add Justices to the supreme court. Anything they do will be struck down by this lawless court using their stupid made up "Major Questions" doctrine which makes them unelected god kings.
Holy shit this is an upsetting read. This poor couple. I wish the town they were cornerstones of would have forced these fascists from town as soon as they became a problem.
