    I thought world War 2 and the rise of fascism in Europe was supposed to have taught us something.

    They don’t gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em.

    WWII might have been the end, but they’ve slowly been worsening education especially in places like Florida. I think at this point, capitalist social media is also a significant cause of the rise in fascism. When Zuck decides to platform holocaust deniers or twitter decides “free speech [for nazis]” it legitimizes it. It doesn’t take much before this translates into real life. You surround yourself online in your little bubble with all of the other crazies (yay Facebook is bringing people together) long enough and it’s nearly impossible not to translate that into the real world.

    History is pretty fuckin’ easy to repeat if you don’t know the history.
