> Let's talk about "Cancel Culture", shall we?

I am so scared of the slippery slope. Just imagine if Democrats banned Trump from social media, tried to throw him in jail, and used the FBI to target and censor conservatives. Scary!

What is happening right now in the USA to Democrats is a (currently) non-violent version of a phenomenon that has been part of human society from time immemorial.

It’s the idea of in-kind revenge against aggressors once they are defeated.

WWII offers a good analogy (not because it was literally Hitler but because it’s recent enough that many people alive today are familiar with what I am about to write).

As Nazi Germany was slowly defeated and withdrew from occupied areas, the ordinary citizens of formerly occupied France, Belgium, the Netherlands and elsewhere took vengeance upon captured or surrendering German soldiers, often simply putting a bullet in the back of their heads.  Nazi sympathizers and Vichy France supporters were publicly debased and then killed unceremoniously.  Women who slept with German soldiers had their heads shaved publicly while they were beaten and spit upon.  If they were lucky, these women were expelled from their communities.  If they were unlucky, they were killed.  To Germany’s east, Allied troops stood by and watched as survivors of death camps took out their killing fury on their former guards.  Further east, the Soviet Union was marching German soldiers to their deaths, whether on the march or in their ultimate destination of a Siberian Gulag.

I am not suggesting that MAGAs ought to be doing any of these violent things, or that Democrats are like Nazi Germany.  What I am suggesting is that when a group of people have been oppressed for a long enough time, when they are finally free of that oppression it is human nature to respond in kind to the former oppressors as revenge.

It’s human nature.

So Charlie Kirk’s assassination has given us our “we’re not gonna take it anymore” moment.  The enemy is in retreat.  And we are now treating that former oppressor to the same damage they wreaked on us: cancel culture, constant ridicule, enforced silence, fear of arrest for merely being at a rally, lawfare—everything the Democrats have been doing to us for 25+ years.

It’s literally revenge.

Is revenge right?  Is it wrong?

I don’t know, but it is human nature.  That I am sure of.

A bit like the 'Tea' confidential info clusterfuq... these people look exactly as you'd expect...
