My Rating ~ 4 bites and a nibble
I don’t normally read
non-fiction, but I found this on someone else’s book list/post/blog (sorry I
can’t remember which or who) and felt it extremely relevant in these dangerous
times. Because they are dangerous. It’s unreal to me that Hitler isn’t that far
back in our history, a mere blip in the entirety of Earth’s history, and yet it
seems as if we are making the same exact mistakes that Germany and others did
back in the 30s & 40s. Totally unreal. I’m not sure if having the internet
and access to social media is good or bad, but I’m leaning towards good so that
those fighting for democracy can reach more people. But the vast amount of
disinformation out there being shared with and by people who don’t know what
the fuck they’re talking about, not to mention those who do not have the best interests
of the many in mind, is needless to say, alarming.
Our government is
corrupt. It’s been corrupt for decades now and the only good thing to come out
of Trump’s presidency is that more and more people have finally woken up to the
fact we’re getting royally screwed by the people who are supposed to be working
for us. US. The citizens of the United States of America. Because, I’m just
going to say it, Americans have gotten lazy as fuck. Me included. Combined with
loss of funding for essentials such as education we’re also raising Americans
who are dumb as fuck. Yes, I said it. Lazy and dumb. Just what our government wants
us to be so they can keep lining their and their buddies pockets with more
money than they could ever spend in 3 lifetimes.
I’m going to put this out
there, it may sound crazy, but I don’t care. I think Russia wants to be the new
Roman Empire, taking over the majority of the world. They seem to be playing
the long game and sustaining themselves by eating the elephant one bite at a time.
And we’re stupid enough to let it happen. Shame on us. But it hasn’t happened
yet and we really need to make sure the lessons from the past follow us into
the future. Short memories will get us killed. I recommend this book to
everyone.
