Goebbels and the Nazis understood, "win the hearts of the young... it's easy because they are stupid, gullible, and easily manipulated". Same today with the mouthy Greta bitch. (Remember when YOU were a teen? Thought you "knew everything"? "Often wrong but rarely in doubt"? Turned out you barely knew "come here' from 'sic-em". Greta is no diff.) Same as always... "Children should be seen but not heard".
It was. There were many Cherokee, Chickasaw, tribes et el. who had integrated into modern society while retaining their ancestral heritage and lands, only to see them stripped “legally” I might add, when gold was found in Georgia. Those people were legally stripped of their homelands and forcibly marched several hundred miles. Think hard before you say it can’t happen today.
It was history. If you want to right all historic wrong then we all end up back in the caves. But we clearly learned. As society we will always make mistakes till the day we die. But we hopefully make wiser and better decisions as we mature.
I can appreciate the attempt at maturity, but history teaches us differently. Man regretfully and often repeats it’s mistakes. The internment of Japanese American Citizens comes to mind. When we blindly endorse the majority rule it’s easy to be blinded to the damage that can be inflicted on individual rights. Specifically when the majority feel endangered, or worse, empowered and superior. Our Declaration of Independence addressed this... “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” There are times when the rights of the individual outweigh the needs of the many. Regards,
mr wallet sometimes it happens that people assume that the US Govt. is carrying out the will of the peeps. often the US Govt. does things that the majority of peeps do not agree with, yet those under control of the US Govt. speak of that group we, and the connotation is that we as a majority took active action to perform a task to a desired outcome, when even the US Govt. has been known to enter into projects that are ill-planned and carried out on the go. The Japanese in the USA during the internment period were also relieved of their real estate, some of which had been developed into highly productive farmland. war breeds chaos breeds opportunity for abuse. Not sure they took a vote on that whole let's get into the war thing until Pearl Harbor stoked the fire enough to beat the war drum and then off to the races we went.
I agree with what you said. Though there are exceptions where individual rights are outweighed by decisions that benefit society at large. For that we have law courts and trained judges. If weaknesses are to be found in the legal system then we ought to attempt our utmost best to strengthen our legal system to make wise decisions rather then throw the baby out with the bathwater. That's all I have to say on this topic
You would be Goebbels in this scenario. Seems fitting really given your racist tendencies and seeming descent into some form of mental illness in your adult years. Too many adult males like yourself have inflicted so many damaging events and outcomes on the world throughout history. Also not surprising you are quoting Nazi leaders to support your thought process.
The Japanese American internments were wrong. It was law courts and the supreme court who should have immediately picked up on the abuse and overstepping of the government. The legal system failed miserably. And that is one of my main criticisms of the entire American legal system where too much public opinion sways laws and the execution thereof. The entire jury system wrongly lays judicial decision making into the hands of lay persons who have received no legal training. Judges make mistakes but the high bar to become judge should be to minimize error in the interpretation of laws. If that bar is too low which it obviously is even to this day then we should raise that bar. It is a mystery to me that we take for granted and don't challenge the fact that judges are guided by their political stance and convictions. It is in blatant contradiction to the intent of the blindfolded Justicia.
While I overall agree with your assessment of this user's convictions I also found the presentation and conduct of this girl highly questionable. Fact is that young people are limited in their perception and control of emotions and judgement skills. That is why we on average elevate the most experienced and wisest into the highest positions of public office. It is important to be served reminders when wise people develop tunnel vision but senior leaders are good leaders who listen to younger blood not those who let the inexperienced take over and drive the agenda. This particular girl's presentation would have been so much more powerful had she kept her emotions in check. Instead the world had to listen to some outrageous rant and bickering by an angry child who does not at all understand the compromises and middle ground that needs to be struck in order to make society work for most not some people. Environmental damage does not destroy us because we don't listen to a rambunctious child but because we deny the scientific part of environmental destruction and its impact. The huge problem I see is that both sides are not arguing with facts and truth. The world will not end in 50 years even if we continue as we do without change. Nor are half of the world's cities gonna be under water. That is simply not supported by climate science but supported by biased people with an unscientific political conviction. Ironically those same people may consider themselves scientists. There were many proclaimed "experts" with a scientific tilt in history who have caused and promoted some of the most unscientific ideas.
Greta doesn't understand macro climatology...She doesn't understand cycles... She does not understand much of anything, expect what has been spoon-fed to her by the media, and all else who have spoon-fed her the BS. She has no ability for independent thinking. She is a bad egg.
