The belief that you emphasized in the Declaration about basically holding a government to account, pretty much evaporated when THEY became "the government". I.e., this part that you quoted -
That, I do not deny. I am just saying that we did away with one government to form another. We can do it again. Unless the consensus is that our current social-econimic situation is preferable. Is it?
And I am pointing out who left there (which included 45's grandfather before WW2), and eventually came here. And I coupled that later with this -
Yes, but what I was asking was how many of the people who remained were so passive as to allow their entire society to be destroyed and decided that the best thing to do is to just watch it happen. How many tried to justify it even as the goons were kicking in their own door? That was what I was pondering. Just how much what happened during WWII could have been stopped if the locals had just felt more motivated to do something as opposed to just sitting there? And, why did that happen? Were they bought off? Were they being so oppressed that they felt there was nothing to be done? Just what led to a country becoming the mot evil place on the planet (for a time)? And, why did we not learn from it? (Don't answer that one, I already know why.)
Unfortunately, Acapulco got hit with a Cat 5 - Hurricane Otis in 2023, that tore up many of the hotels, and most of the piers and homes all around the city.
Yes. I remember reading about that. Growing up on and by the Outer Banks (Kitty Hawk/Kill Devil Hill/ Nags Head) we had them every year. Most were either just passing by (Hurricane Party! Yeah!), or were skirting the northern part of the Banks. But, when one would come in... well, that was entertaining to say the least. I remember being sent home from school early on a few occasions because they were afraid that the thing would strengthen and make it impossible for the students to get home.
And since we are on this topic, and since you are posting 'Hamiton!' here, I will remind everyone that it takes a massive mess of chaos to form a hurricane. They speak of 'organized weather patterns', but it is nothing more than the weather saying, "Fuck it!"
If we want to save ourselves, we need to be the hurricane, and not the beachgoers gathering up their things and running for their lives. But, we have to understand that at this point,
there is no way we can do it without getting wet.
