George Orwell said it better than I could: “All in all it is difficult not to feel that pacifism, as it appears among a section of the intelligentsia, is secretly inspired by an admiration for power and successful cruelty.”
“We are socialists because we see the social question as a matter of necessity and justice for the very existence of a state for our people, not a question of cheap pity or insulting sentimentality. The worker has a claim to a living standard that corresponds to what he produces. We have no intention of begging for that right. "
Here’s something awful, and there’s much, much more:
“The Jew has no interest in solving the German question of fate. He cannot have such an interest. He depends on it remaining unsolved. If the German people formed a united community and won back its freedom, there would be no place any longer for the Jew. His hand is strongest when a people lives in domestic and international slavery, not when it is free, industrious, self-aware, and determined. The Jew caused our problems and lives from them.”
Alito flies a flag and he needs to all but resign from SCOTUS, yet Merchan and his family can be financial supporters of the Democrats and that’s okay? You do see the obvious double standard here, right?
Whatever. The point was to communicate that the left doesn’t buy it for one solitary moment, but see it as a convenient wedge to push their social and economic policies which have been roundly rejected otherwise.
Seriously, if they really thought that there was this huge danger, they’d have been living in Japanese sleeping tubes and riding bicycles, rather than their posh McMansions and SUVs.
